Sławomir Mrożek

Sławomir Mrożek (1930-2013), born in Borzęcin, near Kraków, studied architecture, oriental studies and art history without completing them, then made a living from political journalism. His satirical drawings, published from 1953, and his black-humour stories made him popular. Having left for Italy in 1963, he lived in France, where he asked for asylum after protesting in 1968 against the invasion of Czechoslovakia, then in Mexico. Back in Kraków in 1996, struck by aphasia in 2002, he left again in 2008 for Nice and died there on 15 August 2013.
