A collection of short stories inspired by the writer's wartime experiences, including holocaust:
In Borowski's stories, the difference between the execution and the victim is blurred. Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz wrote about them:" It seems that no one apart from Borowski reached so deeply into the essence of the matter that disgraces humanity, no one was able to draw so precisely the methods and effects of the degradation of humanity. Nobody- I mean nobody here. It seems that Borowski's short stories cannot be compared to any literature in the world. This is the pinnacle of this kind of writing."
