First edition.
"A collection of short stories entitled. "About a soldier tinkerer" has three facets. The first is purely military, as a re-painting of one's own experiences during the war, the second - when one had to exchange the uniform for civilian clothes in order to earn a piece of bread, and the third - the last - when memories brought to mind a picture of the old and better past. In this way, the capital types of the gray uniformed brothers were shown one by one, then the weary toil of the soldier-turned-fatigue in exile, and in the final images, the most colorful, pre-war Warsaw and its inhabitants."
