All the work of Bruno Schulz can be considered as a reminder of the impressions and experiences that he learned from his childhood, which took place in a patriarchal Jewish family in Drohobych — a Galician city with its specific way of life, traditions and Customs. This is evidenced by his second book "Sanatorium under the clepsydra", which was published in 1937 and in which, as in "cinnamon shops", Schultz's unique style was perfectly manifested: his unusual style of narration, figurative language, juicy metaphors, thanks to which the mythological image of the city created by the writer's creative imagination comes to life on the pages.

Critics call the work of Bruno Schultz a phenomenon of Galician culture and put his works on a par with the works of Marcel Proust and Franz Kafka.
