Marek Hlasko's literary autobiography is a vivid, first-hand account of the life of a young writer in 1950s Poland and a fascinating portrait of the ultimately short-lived rebel generation. Told in a voice suffused with grit and morbid humor, Hlasko's memoir was a classic of its time. In it he recounts his adventures and misadventures, moving swiftly from one tale to the next. Like many writers of his time, Hlasko also worked in screen writing, and his memoir provides a glimpse into just how markedly the medium of film affected him from his very earliest writing days.

The memoir details his relationships with such giants of Polish culture as the filmmaker Roman Polanski and the novelist Jerzy Andrzejewski. Hlasko is the most prominent example of a writer who broke free from the Socialist-Realist formulae that dominated the literary scene in Poland since it fell under the influence of the Soviets. He made his literary debut in 1956 and immediately became a poster boy for Polish Literature. He subsequently worked at some of the most important newspapers and magazines for intellectual life in Warsaw. Hlasko was sent to Paris on an official mission in 1958, but when he published in an \u00e9migr\u00e9 Parisian press his novel of life in post-War Poland, he was denied a renewal of his passport. In effect, he was called back to Poland, and when he refused to return he was stripped of his Polish citizenship. He spent the rest of his life working in exile.

Marek Hlasko was a rebel whose writing and iconoclastic way of life became an inspiration to those of his generation and after. Here, in the first English translation of his literary memoir, Ross Ufberg deftly renders Hlasko's wry and passionate voice.

Just buy it! You’ll love it!!
Color: Glint-Rainbow
Bought this for my daughter, she had a ballet recital and wanted to be extra shimmery and boy did this deliver!! WE LOVE IT!! Sprays so good. We put lotion on her and then sprayed it to help it stick and used it in her hair with some hairspray to help it stay. The color is beautiful, it’s very light weight. Buy it!

Simply splendid
Color: Sparkling Pink
More glittery than I expected! I prefer loose glitter for some things and this is the best application method I’ve found so far. The bottle is better quality than I expected. The mechanism seems well made and I don’t foresee having any issues. Note- some reviews said it’s subtle but I found myself extra sparkly yesterday- like vampire in a meadow sparkly- after two quick sprays. Your mileage may vary

It’s cute, but it’s dry glitter dust. I thought it would be moist to stay on skin.

This has amazing coverage. Was skeptical at first. I thought the little puffer applicator would not work well. It does however work Very! Well! Would buy again.

Lovely
Color: Silver White - 02, Color: Silver White - 02
This is the best body glitter I have ever owned. I have a spray one and it is not as shiny as this one. This one has a very good appearance. It literally is shining so bright without the lights being off. This is one drop on my hand that I spread around, it does go on as a liquid and then it dries up and soak in your skin . From the bottle It has a very fresh scent like a very, very light scent, but when you put on your skin, it doesn’t smell like anything so you can still put on your regular perfume without worrying about mixing fragrances. It’s a good decent size especially considering I only did one drop and I get so much glitter!
