**Pornografia**: One of the great novelistx of our century - Milan Kundera in The New York Times.
Set in the occupied Poland of 1943, Pornografía revolves around a visit to a country estate made by the narrator and the enigmatic Frederick. There the two old men conjure up an illusory love between Henia, their host's adolescent daughter, and Karol, the local administrator's son. As they plot the consummation of this (imagined) relationship, the most trivial events begin to yield an increasingly bizarre and obscene significance. The narrator is gradually drawn into an obsessive and violent game in which the young are more seductive than he could ever have believed.
A masterpiece of philosophical fiction, Pornografia contains elements of the pastoral romance, the melodramatic farce, the political thriller and the murder mystery. Combrowicz's terse, descriptive snapshots are laced with extraordinary metaphors and starling abstractions: speech silently subverts itself while the uncontrolled play of power and desire bursts into the ordered world of adulthood.
The great boldness of his spirit... how disturbing his writings are, how challenging and enigmatic - Czeslaw Milosz.
