About
" 'Szynkadela' - opowieść żywcem wyjęta z klasycznych filmów Stanisława Barei. Pełna humoru i niespodziewanych zwrotów akcji. Komedia o czasach, gdzie niemożliwe stawało się rzeczywistością, a powiedzenie "Polak potrafi" przybiera formę cielesną. Niezwykle trafnie połączenie wątków możliwych z nieprawdopodobnymi. Wszystko to sprawia, że opowieść czyta się "jednym tchem"; lekko i przyjemnie, aż trudno się od niej oderwać. Zachęcam wszystkich do przeczytania tej niezwykle frapującej książki." -- cover. " 'Szynkadela' - a story similar to the classic films of Stanislaw Bareja. Full of humor and unexpected twists. A comedy about a time where the impossible became a reality..." -- cataloger's summary of the cover.

Discussion questions for Szynkadela

  1. 1

    The book is likened to the films of Stanisław Bareja, known for their portrayal of absurd bureaucracy and everyday struggles. In what ways did "Szynkadela" capture this spirit of a world where the illogical is commonplace? For those unfamiliar with Bareja, how would you describe the unique comedic style and the world Pasławski creates?

  2. 2

    The phrase "Polak potrafi" (roughly, "a Pole can do it" or "Poles are resourceful") is central to the book's premise, taking "bodily form." How do we see this resourcefulness manifest in the characters' actions and the unfolding plot? Do you think this spirit is always a force for good, or does the book suggest a more complex view?

  3. 3

    "A comedy about a time where the impossible became a reality." Can you identify instances where the line between the plausible and the utterly absurd blurs? What effect does this blurring have on your understanding of the characters' challenges and the overall message of the story?
