The dust jacket was designed by Andrzej Heidrich
A collection of sketches from trips to France and Italy written by Zbigniew Herbert (1924–1998)—poet, playwright, essayist, and one of the most outstanding Polish writers of the 20th century.
“What is this book, in my view? A collection of sketches. A travelogue. The first is a real journey through cities, museums, and ruins. The second—through books about the places I’ve seen. These two perspectives, or two methods, intertwine” (from the author’s note on the dust jacket flap).
