«Pornografia» is the novel by Polish writer Witold Gombrowicz, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (196 pages, in Catalan).
In occupied Poland, the narrator and his friend Fryderyk settle in the countryside and decide to engineer a relationship between two young people, Karol and Henia, as a perverse game. A murder and the task of executing a member of the resistance tighten the plot until a grotesque denouement. Gombrowicz explores manipulation and desire with irony.
Collection «Les millors obres de la literatura universal, segle XX», number 4. Catalan translation by Dorota Szmidt. The original novel was published in 1960.
For readers interested in Polish literature, twentieth-century classics and philosophical narrative.
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.
