A bit of lor for once, all the better to see the red flags with, not to mention the obvious aerial file footage of Warsaw. The story ncerns Jozef Malesa, the mason or bricklayer of the title. He was once the darling of the py, the son of two old py activists, a worker of heroic reputation, his own mitment to The Movement unquestioned. He was chosen to be destined for great things, specially educated and pushed forward to positions of responsibility in the Py. Eventually he decides, because of the ethical pressures which he feels from the obstructionism of the bureaucracy from above, he asks to return to be a simple bricklayer. He is disturbed with the way the Py deals with people, especially their lack of direct ntact. He thinks workers know better than the leadership many times but that's not the way power flows. He is unfortable with the mises to his idealism. He remains mitted to social justice and joins his friends for the May Day rally where his fort and nfidence in his place in society cause him to defer to no man, certainly no rat faced men in overats with red armbands. His great pleasure in life moreover is laying brick. He finds the work satisfying and fulfilling which is why he was such an obviously superior worker in the first place.展开
