Oscar Mandel 
The History of Sigismund, Prince of Poland 

This short fiction by Belgian scholar Oscar Mandel follows the life of Sigismund, the lost prince of Poland. Beginning as a play in 1988, improved in 2002, Sigismund finally comes to prose, where it plays freely with Polish history to bring alive a fanciful tale rooted in philosophy.
