The Short Story of Stones

By Jolanta Poźniak

The Short Story of Stones is a book inspired by facts. It consists of short stories that form a single unity. At the very beginning, it presents the tragedy of a child experiencing trauma and shows the world through her eyes. Then it illustarates the life of an adult struggling with the consequences of a painful drama.

This work is a cascade of the most intimate feelings. Some descriptions are appaling, their message “shock” like electricity, others exude the affirmation of life and faith in its uniqueness. Above all of them there is an unfading hope for a dignified and worthwhile life despite the burden of irreversible fate.

"Nobody reads anything. If he reads, he understands nothing, and even if he does, he remembers nothing...,” wrote Stanisław Lem prophetically several decades ago. Professor Zimbardo, on the other hand, when accused of “making a show” during a lecture, responded that everyone (possibly including the lecturer himself) slept during traditional lectures and that they did not remember anything from a lecture of this kind. Over the seventy pages of “The Short Story of Stones”, the author has recorded scenes from life that, after reading, cannot be forgotten. They might be pushed aside, considered impossible, but they cannot be erased from memory. This offers readers, despite the small scale of this tome, a wealth of immutable experiences, and perhaps irrevocable knowledge that leaves much food for thought. This knowledge and these experiences, in my opinion – having worked almost forty years with victims – are essential for therapists, regardless of studies, training and self-therapy, or maybe even in tandem with them”.

Reviews for The Short Story of Stones

[Trudy · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

This book is about incest & much more, uncomfortable to read. Many kids experience such horror, trauma. The title swayed me to read it but it was confronting, sad for the kids who experience such darkness. I gave it a low
star because it was a shock to read as unexpected & the title was misleading. I hope kids or teens or people who live a sheltered life do not read this book accidently, it will mess their mind. I did not complete it...
