«Cosmos» is the novel by Polish writer Witold Gombrowicz, published by Planeta in paperback (235 pages, in Spanish).
In a guesthouse in the mountains, two young men become obsessed with disconnected signs: a hanged sparrow, repeated gestures and shapes. Their eagerness to find meaning in them entangles them in a web of suspicions and delirious associations, where any detail can be a clue. The novel explores perception, paranoia and the search for order.
Original title: Kosmos; the novel was first published in 1965 and the translation is by Sergio Pitol. It belongs to the collection Clásicos contemporáneos internacionales, volume 13.
Aimed at readers of twentieth-century European fiction and of fiction with a mysterious atmosphere and philosophical undertones.
Witold Marian Gombrowicz was a Polish writer and playwright. His works are characterised by deep psychological analysis, a certain sense of paradox and absurd, anti-nationalist flavor. In 1937, he published his first novel, Ferdydurke, which presented many of his usual themes: problems of immaturity and youth, creation of identity in interactions with others, and an ironic, critical examination of class roles in Polish society and culture.
