Avant-garde Polish writer, Witold Gombrowicz (1904-1969) focused his work on interpersonal relations and the complex attitudes of human beings in relation to cultural modes that are imposed on them. Both in his novels and in his plays, he stands up for individual freedoms and creativity. Exiled to Argentina at the age of 35, he also lived in Germany and France, which added to the universal dimension of his creations. Translated into 28 languages, his work continues to influence contemporary literature, the theatre and the arts.
