Jacek Dukaj's debut publication, called by critics "a daring start". Young age of the author combined with an inspiring maturity of the vision described in the story made such a grand impression, that he was implicitly associated with it for a long time. The situation changed only after a huge success of a nominated to the Academy Award short animated movie by Tomasz Bagiński, created from another Dukaj?s novelette ? "The Cathedral".

"The Golden Galley" is the only Dukaj's work fully translated into English. You can buy an anthology containing the story at Amazon.com
