Description

"Here comes the end of the world. Here comes, approaches, or rather creeps my own end of the world. The end of my personal world. But before my universe crumbles into ruins, scatters into atoms, explodes into a vacuum, I still have the last kilometer of my Golgotha, the last lap in this marathon, the last few rungs down or up the ladder of meaninglessness." In 1979, Tadeusz Konwicki's novel *Mała Apokalipsa* was published in Warsaw and London, outside of censorship, and was quickly recognized as the most famous work published in the times of the Polish People's Republic in the so-called "second circulation." The work showed a grotesque and absurd image of People's Poland and exposed the mechanisms of the opposition.
