Seller's Description:
Minor rubbing. VG. 22x14cm, x, 404 pp, Translated from the Polish by by Madeline G. Levine. Foreword by Henryk Grynberg. Historical fiction concerning Polish Jewry during World War II. ["Written by a survivor who lived in the Warsaw Ghetto from age ten to 12, this novel is an excellent literary depiction of the Holocaust. Bread, the main subject of daily life in the Ghetto, is the central theme. Showing how children adapt to the particular human condition of near-starvation, Wojdowski describes a life of groveling for a scrap of bread. Instead of a plot, this novel contains epic descriptions and chaotic dialog, voices recorded in their authentic, ungrammatical Polish, a sort of literal translation from the Yiddish. Although the subject is excruciating, the detail given by someone who endured the Ghetto adds immeasurably to the canon of Holocaust literature. "-Library Journal review, 1997]
