Tell the story from beginning to the end – Kronos by Witold Gombrowicz
Anna Osipińska
Abstract
The publication of Kronos by Witold Gombrowicz was, despite the controversy, an important literary event. In this specific calendar the writer presented his life (not omitting the intimate spheres such as sexuality, health problems) against the background of historical events. This article is an attempt to show the importance of Kronos based on other works by Gombrowicz. It presents selected themes which characterized the last work of the writer. Particularly, it shows the problem of the transience of an individual against the ongoing History of mankind.
