Book Summary :

Ferdynand Goetel, (born May 15, 1890, Sucha Beskidzka, Austria-Hungary [now in Poland]—died November 24, 1960, London, England), Polish novelist and essayist noted primarily for his memoirs and his novels about exotic countries.
Goetel started writing after World War I, when he returned to Poland from Russian Turkestan. As a citizen of the Austrian-ruled part of Poland, he had been interned there as an Austrian subject. In 1924 he published Przez płonący Wschód (“Across the Blazing East”), a colourful recollection of his own adventures in Russia during the 1917 revolution and the civil war. His collections of short stories Pątnik Karapeta (1923; “Karapeta the Pilgrim”) and Ludzkość (1925; “Mankind”) are based on his observations of the Turkic peoples he had encountered. Z dnia na dzień (1926; From Day to Day) is a novel interesting for its use of the diary form within the main narrative as a means of exploring character.
