Requirements: ePUB reader, 0.4 MB
Overview:Jerzy Andrzejewski (19 August 1909 – 19 April 1983) was a prolific Polish author. His novels, Ashes and Diamonds and Holy Week, have been made into film adaptations by the Oscar-winning Polish director Andrzej Wajda.
Originally published in Poland in 1948, and acclaimed as one of the finest postwar Polish novels, Ashes and Diamonds takes place in the spring of 1945, as the nation is in the throes of its transformation to People’ Poland. Communists, socialists, and nationalists; thieves and black marketeers; servants and fading aristocrats; veteran terrorists and bands of murderous children bewitched by the lure of crime and adventure–all of these converge on a provincial town’s chief hotel, a microcosm of an uprooted world.
The novel is published here with an introduction by Heinrich Böll, the German novelist and Nobel Prize winner.
