many other themes. He writes in ostensibly casual anecdotes and uses a wide range of literary devices. Three of Gombrowicz's novels were adapted for film: Ferdydurke (1991) directed by Jerzy Skolimowski., Pornografia (2003) directed by Jan Jakub Kolski, and Cosmos (2015) directed by Andrzej Żuławski. 2004, the centenary of his birth, was declared the Year of Gombrowicz. Gombrowicz's last extensive work, Kronos, was published in Poland by Wydawnictwo Literackie on May 23, 2013. Style Gombrowicz's works are characterised by deep psychological analysis, a certain sense of paradox and an absurd, anti-nationalist flavor. Ferdydurke presents many themes explored in his later work: the problems of immaturity and youth, the masks people wear, and an ironic, critical examination of class roles in Polish society and culture, specifically the nobility and provincials. It provoked sharp critical reactions and immediately divided Gombrowicz's audience into worshipers and sworn enemies. In his work, Gombrowicz struggled with Polish traditions and the country's difficult history. This battle was the starting point for his stories, which were deeply rooted in this tradition and history. Gombrowicz is remembered by scholars and admirers as a writer and a man unwilling to sacrifice his imagination or his originality for any price, person, god, society, or doctrine.
