Seller's Description:
New York. 1983. January 1984. Random House. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394528565. Translated from the Polish by Richard Lourie. 260 pages. hardcover. Jacket art and design: Andrzej Czeczot. keywords: Literature Translated Poland Eastern Europe. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Kazimierz Brandys is one of Poland's foremost writers. This book-denounced on Polish television after the imposition of martial law as a subversive document (anyone found to possess it faced an automatic prison sentence of up to ten years), here available for the first time in translation, and soon to be published in France, Italy, Germany and Sweden-is a work of unique literary and historical significance: at once a powerful, wide-ranging personal memoir, and the first eyewitness report out of Poland to record the momentous events of 1978-81 as they happened and to set them in their historical and political contexts. Writing in his Warsaw apartment, at a country retreat, during trips abroad, moving back and forth in time between the extraordinary happenings around him and his memories of prewar Europe, the rise of fascism, communism, World War Il, the Stalinist terror and its bitter aftermath, Brandys sets down his observations of people, places, events: the police raids, arrests and beatings; conversations, letters from friends, dreams; the faces of hunger strikers in a church and the midnight ravings of drunks outside his window (Goddammit, the Russians've come. ); the snow and the vodka; the parties; the jokes (a frequent, and frequently the only, form of redress) and the despair; the charms of landscape, streets, women-the spirit of a city clinging to style and elegance at a time when half the day is spent standing in lines and everything, even birth and death, takes on somber political meanings. With one eye on the looming specter of Russia-Brandys writes of it with the kind of intimate knowledge only an East European can claim and the other on the apparent indifference of the West, addressing the broader issues raised by the Polish experience in a manner seldom done in Western writing, he weaves together a complex, multi-layered portrait of a society existing on a thin line between exhilarating hope for freedom and impending political catastrophe, in a corner of the world where the moral, political and philosophical dilemmas that affect all of us today are, for reasons of geopolitics, delineated most sharply and felt most keenly. A Warsaw Diary: 1978-1981 is unparalleled testimony to crucial years of our epoch, a book whose implications and importance transcend national boundaries. inventory #1570.
