Paperback. Condition: New. The Second World War. Poland. Our narrator has no intention of being a hero. He plans to survive this war, whatever it takes.Meticulously he recounts his experiences: the slow unravelling of national events as well as uncomfortable personal encounters on the street, in the café, at the office, in his love affairs. He is intimate but reserved; conversational but careful; reflective but determined. As he becomes increasingly and chillingly alienated from other people, the reader is drawn into complicit acquiescence. We are forced to consider what it means to be heroic and how we ourselves would behave in the same circumstances.Written in 1961, this is the masterpiece of one of the great Polish writers of the twentieth century.

Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. Dans une petite ville polonaise sur les bords de la Vistule, Elzbieta mène une vie monotone, sous l'emprise d'une mère tyrannique. Entre les visites de son soupirant, le fade Soniewicz, et les leçons de piano qu'elle donne à des petites filles récalcitrantes, elle libère ses passions en jouant du Bach ou du Chopin. Jusqu'au jour où le poète Mitobrzeski, arrivé de Varsovie en quête d'une muse du terroir, s'immisce dans son intimité et l'entraîne dans un jeu de rôles qu'elle ne peut que perdre. Ce bref roman, écrit par l'un des maîtres de la littérature polonaise du vingtième siècle, brosse un portrait tout en nuances de la " paisible " vie provinciale de la Pologne des années 1950 - avec ses queues devant les magasins, les commérages des voisins le fou du village qui arpente les rues en courant -, que l'hypocrisie, les passions et les lâchetés nous rendent étrangement familière.
