Fictions of Bruno Schulz: The Street of Crocodiles and Sanatorium under the Sign of the Hourglass by Schulz, Bruno. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780330304115.

The stories in these pages comprise all the surviving fiction of a man described by John Updike in the introduction as one of the great transmogrifiers of the world into words. They portray the doom-ridden yet comic world of a small Polish town in the years before the war, a world brought vividly to life in prose as memorable and as unique as are the brushstrokes of Marc Chagall.
