It's not going to be of any value unless you know a lot about Tadeusz Borowski and Polish literature in general -- neither of which applies to me. Only one of Borowski's books has been translated into English, and I didn't even know he'd written anything else until I started this book. All the references etc. in the letters meant nothing to me and I realized that completing this book would not be a productive enterprise. Not saying it's a bad book -- I'm not even qualified to offer an opinion, because I don't know enough about the topic, that's all. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In a brief life deeply and traumatically disrupted by two years in concentration camps as a political prisoner, Tadeusz Borowski (1922-1951) was tragically destined to become one of the most eloquent witnesses to the Holocaust in Poland. His recollections and stories, the most famous of which is This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen, document in stark historical, literary, and personal terms the experience of the camps and its cost to humanity. This correspondence in this volume expands on the insights of Borowski’s published work and extends to the less-documented aftermath of the Holocaust in postwar Poland and East Germany. The volume opens with Borowski’s letter to his mother from Pawiak Prison the day after his arrest and closes with an unsigned telegram informing his parents of his suicide. The letters to and from family members, friends, and literary figures offer an indispensable picture of the world in the wake of the Nazis--and of the indelible stain that experience left upon the literature, politics, and life of Eastern Europe, in particular upon one gifted and doomed writer.
