Cinnamon shops

Bruno Schulz's "Cinnamon Shops" were published in 1934. In these stories, the writer depicted, in his characteristic poetic style of magical realism, scenes from the everyday life of his native Drohobych - a Galician town with a certain way of life, traditions and rituals, which at the same time became the earthly haven of his "republic of dreams".

In search of expressive means for his vision of the world, the author resorted to a rich narrative, picturesque descriptions, figurative language, rich in anachronisms and metaphors. It is impossible to tear oneself away from the writer's multi-plot, multi-layered prose. The world recognition of Bruno Schulz's work is evidenced by the ever-growing number of translations and literary works dedicated to him.
