"The El烧征外ephant (1来自957)" is Slawomir Mrozek's award-winning 360百科collection of hilarious and unnerving short stories, satirizing life in Poland under a totalitarian regime. The fa列mily of a wealthy lawyer keep a 'tamed progressive' as a pet; a zoo saves money for the workers by fashioning their ele武式画律甲汽子这phant from rubber; a swan is dismissed fro材担利利势州既注m the municipal park for public drunkenness; and, under the Writers' Association, 那叶温送具literary critics are banish持争钢机支常组八ed to the salt mines. In these tales 额突城of bureaucrats, officials and artists, Mrozek conjures perfectly a life of i规magined cri为目精稳赵传mes and absurd authority.
