In spare, brutal prose he describes a world where the will to survive overrides compassion and prisoners eat, work and sleep a few yards from where others are murdered; where the difference between human beings is reduced to a second bowl of soup, an extra blanket or the luxury of a pair of shoes with thick soles; and where the line between normality and abnormality vanishes. Published in Poland after the Second World War, these stories constitute a masterwork of world literature. -- from http://www.amazon.com (March 24, 2014) 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Concentration camps $v Fiction 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Social aspects $z Poland 650 0 $a War and society $z Poland $y 20th century $v Fiction 651 0 $a Poland $x Social life and customs $v Fiction 600 10 $a Borowski, Tadeusz, $d 1922-1951 650 0 $a War stories, Polish $v Translations into English 650 0 $a Polish literature $v Translations into English 700 1 $a Vedder, Barbara, $e translator 700 1 $a Kott, Jan, $e intr 700 1 $a Kandel, Michael, $e translator 830 0 $a Penguin classics 941 $a 1 952 $l EYPC755 $d 20240117011158.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DD140F706B6D11EBAC842A332BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
