An early realist novel by Stanisław Lem, taking place in a Polish psychiatric hospital during World War II. Taking place within the confines of a psychiatric hospital, Stanisław Lem's The Hospital of the Transfiguration tells the story of a young doctor working in a Polish asylum during World War II. At first the asylum seems like a bucolic refuge, but a series of sinister encounters and incidents reveal an underlying brutality. The doctor begins to seek relief in the strange conversation of the poet Sekulowski, who is posing as a patient in a bid for safety from the occupying German forces. Meanwhile, Resistance fighters stockpile weapons in the surrounding woods. A very early work by Lem, The Hospital of the Transfiguration is partly autobiographical, drawing on the author's experiences as a medical student. Written in 1948, it was suppressed by Polish censors and not published until 1955. The censorship of this realist novel is partly what led Lem to focus on science fiction and nonfiction for the rest of his career.… (plus d'informations)

Terminada en Cracovia en septiembre de 1948, y ambientada en los primeros meses de la invasión de Polonia por los nazis, El hospital de la transfiguración narra la historia de Stefan Trzyniecki, un joven doctor que encuentra empleo en un hospital psiquiátrico enclavado en un bosque remoto, un lugar que parece «fuera del mundo». Pero, poco a poco, la locura del exterior va filtrándose entre los muros del hospital. Una serie de sádicos doctores, compañeros de Trzyniecki, se entregan a atroces experimentos con los enfermos mentales internados en el centro, mientras los nazis, que peinan los bosques en busca de partisanos, deciden convertir el sanatorio en un hospital de las SS.

Very well written, but disturbing and sad. I'm so glad Lem went on to write science fiction. ( )

Quite unlike any Lem novel that I have ever read. The first chapter objectively describes the funeral his uncle. He quickly turns it into an expose on the contradiction of customs practiced on the recently deceased. This includes extended praying for the deceased' soul, and attention to dressing them in nice clothing and jewelry while in the casket. He basically ridicules the funeral rite, and says people are treated better after the die than when they are still alive.

The chapter on brain surgery is rather disturbing, down to plucking parts of the tumor out by hand, and the 1940ish cauterizing of veins in the brain w an electric candle. Also significant for me was my surprise when I discovered one of the major protagonists was a patient instead of staff at the asylum. ( )

An early non SF effort -a harrowing novel concerning a young Polish doctor working in a mental institution during the Nazi occupation. Supposedly based in some part from what I've read, on Lem's actual experience. If any of the events actually occurred to Lem it would certainly account for some of the nihilism inherent in his overall work. Great war novel from an unusual perspective -one of the best of Lem's that I've read yet -highly recommended. ( )

si tratta di un interessante spaccato di … potremmo dire vita; ci troviamo nella Polonia della seconda guerra mondiale, echi della guerra, della persecuzione si fanno sentire,ma fino all’ultimo rimangono un lontano incubo, che i personaggi non vogliono ricordare .

Lo scenario è un manicomio, visto attraverso gli occhi umani del giovane medico Stefan, con i mezzi coercitivi di quell’epoca; la considerazione dei malati di mente che, per alcuni psichiatri, non differisce poi tanto da quella che avevano nei campi i nazisti: cavie, gente dimenticata, isolata, persone sfruttate…altri echi di crudeltà tra le asettiche mura dell’ospedale e Stefan che non può, invece, agire così, ma che si trova come legato.

È difficile dare un’idea in poche righe un romanzo come questo; non si può capire molto dalla sola trama, perché è l’atmosfera, sono le sottigliezze, alcuni episodi, pensieri … che comunicano in questo libro… certo potrei raccontarvi del funerale, potrei dirvi della cabina di derivazione, della bella dottoressa, di un amore rifiutato… ma non sta qui la bellezza di queste pagine, non solo qui.

Riassumendo… un libro da leggere.

Buona lettura ( )
