A Treatise On Shelling Beans - Wiesław Myśliwski - książka
Producent: Archipelago USA
The protagonist and storyteller of this tale is an elderly man who takes care of cottages at a summer retreat. When an enigmatic visitor appears, he is moved to recount the tales of his expansive life: a joyous childhood abruptly ended by the war, hiding from Nazi soldiers under a pile of potatoes, his attempts at playing the saxophone, the tragic murder of his family, cherished yet lost loves, and his carefree adventures overseas. This narrative unfolds like stories exchanged among companions engaged in the simple task of shelling beans, reminiscent of the oral tradition celebrated in Myśliwski’s "Stone Upon Stone." Each story, personal experience, and recollection adds intricate layers of meaning. Blending humor with deep emotion, "A Treatise on Shelling Beans" is an epic story of a life that, while universally relatable, remains uniquely extraordinary.
