Seduction is a novel by Polish author Witold Gombrowicz, published in 1982. The plot explores the divide between young and old, presenting a grotesque evocation of obsession. The narrator and his friend Fryderyk attempt to force love between two local youths, Karol and Henia, as a form of lascivious entertainment. The novel is constructed as a fable where magic, symbolism, and poetry are key elements.
Witold Marian Gombrowicz was a Polish writer and playwright. His works are characterised by deep psychological analysis, a certain sense of paradox and absurd, anti-nationalist flavor. In 1937, he published his first novel, Ferdydurke, which presented many of his usual themes: problems of immaturity and youth, creation of identity in interactions with others, and an ironic, critical examination of class roles in Polish society and culture.
