Original titleKról mrówek
This New Prose collection from the late Zbigniew Herbert, available for the first time in English, is a retelling of myths and tales "simple and as old as the world" ("Endymion"). Hybrids of the short story and the essay, the eleven pieces in The King of the Ants present Herbert's very different "apocryphal" views of the mythological past.
