The Elephant (1957) è la premiata raccolta di racconti esilaranti e inquietanti di Slawomir Mrozek, che satireggia la vita in Polonia sotto un regime totalitario. La famiglia di un ricco avvocato tiene un "progressista addomesticato" come animale domestico; uno zoo fa risparmiare soldi ai lavoratori modellando il loro elefante di gomma; un cigno viene cacciato dal parco municipale per ubriachezza molesta; e sotto l'Associazione degli scrittori, i critici letterari vengono banditi nelle miniere di sale. In questi racconti di burocrati, funzionari e artisti, Mrozek evoca perfettamente una vita di crimini immaginari e autorità assurde.
