Zmierzchy i poranki

A single day in prewar Zamość, the author's home town. Its streets and outskirts are crowded with people of different cultures, absorbed in small but often difficult affairs, and with animals; the world is seen now by a little boy barely taller than the ground, now by a stork circling the town. Things resemble people, attics whisper and a bench has something like a soul. The Holocaust is never named, but the reader knows this world had no future.
