TWUIM Juljan Tuwim
RHYME FAIR
Illustrated by Daszewski (Pika)
Warsaw 1934.PrzeworskiPublishing House, pp. VIII, 222 [1], size 15.5x23 cm
First edition.
One of Julian Tuwim’s most important interwar poetry collections —a collection of satirical, lyrical, and grotesque poems showcasing the full range of the author’s linguistic virtuosity. *Jarmark rymów* features works that employ humor, absurdity, and keenly observed social commentary, while also revealing a more reflective and ironic side of the poet’s work. With his characteristic ease, Tuwim blends formal language with colloquialisms, playing with rhythm and the sound of words to create a literary “fair” full of colors and sounds.
This edition is enriched with illustrations by Władysław Daszewski (Pika) —an outstanding set designer and caricaturist whose dynamic, slightly grotesque style perfectly complements the character of the texts.
