Jerzy Ficowski, "Regions of the Great Heresy and Environs"
languages: Polski  / English 
 

"Regions of the Great Heresy and Environs" brings together in a single volume all of Ficowski’s most important writings on Bruno Schulz, from his classic and often-republished monograph "Regions of the Great Heresy" and his subsequent volumes of essays to recent commentaries on the discovery in Drohobycz of murals by Schulz and their illegal removal to the Yad Vashem museum. In this book, not only does Ficowski depict the vicissitudes of Schulz’s life, his hometown and the world in which he grew up with unusual care, but he also provides interpretations of Schulz’s work, contests many of the superficial judgements made about him, corrects errors, illuminates misunderstandings and, last but not least, presents new findings in the form of letters, drawings, and paintings as well as a previously unknown series of illuminated letters by Schulz. The book is truly a goldmine of knowledge about Schulz’s life, his work, and his world, and is to date the most complete compendium of information about this remarkable man and artist from Drohobycz. (Jerzy Jarzebski)

Jerzy Ficowski (born 1924) is a poet, fiction writer, essayist, and translator, and the world’s most renowned expert on Bruno Schulz. It is thanks to his efforts over the course of many years that so many of Schulz’s drawings, paintings, and manuscripts have been discovered and preserved.
