Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Hardcover, 296 pages, index, NOT ex-library. Book looks unread, pages still smell new. Minor external shelfwear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The author analyzes human documents: diaries, chronicles, letters, essays, memoirs, sermons, prayers - written down by the dying, shut in by the walls of the ghetto, hidden on the Aryan side, thrown out from a transport to a camp; all of them already condemned. The author makes these texts into a guide to the daily life of the ghetto to the end. In these texts, arising there and then, Jacek Leociak examines the forms of discourse which struggled with inexpressibility: life in extreme situations, experience in the shadow of the Holocaust. It is not possible to understand the Holocaust. But it is also not possible to be silent about it. It is for this reason that the work of Jacek Leociak, which continually struggles with the question: what can text mean in the face of destruction, provides us with an invaluable reading. This work is not a lament, although it keenly analyzes a lament. It is also not only a study classifying the varieties of discourse of 'personal documents' of the ghetto. It is rather a clean and subtle, masterly carried-out workshop, an attempt at building bonds with that which the dying witnessed.

Hardback. Condition: New. In his work Limit Experiences, Jacek Leociak addresses questions that are fundamental to the twentieth-century experience: How can we represent such traumatic events as the Holocaust? Was Lyotard correct when he claimed that reality had succumbed to the gas chambers? How can we describe the «indescribable»? Moving seamlessly through such topics as the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto, the carpet bombing of Dresden, and Jews left for dead in the Nazi execution pits who miraculously «exited the grave» alive, Professor Leociak succeeds in offering readers a profound representation of twentieth-century limit experiences by embedding them in a broad array of sources and building around them a rich historical context.…

Near Fine copy in publishers cloth in like dustjacket. 1st edition, 1st issue. Without question, the establishment and liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto has become an icon of the Holocaust experience. Remarkably, a full history of the Ghetto has never been written, despite the publication over some sixty years of numerous memoirs, studies, biographical accounts and primary documents. 'The Warsaw Ghetto: A Guide to the Perished City' is this history, researched and written with painstaking care and devotion over many years and now published for the first time in English. The authors explore the history of the ghetto's evolution, the actual daily experience of its thousands of inhabitants from its creation in 1941 to its liquidation following the uprising of 1943. Encyclopedic in scope, the book encompasses a range of topics from food supplies to education, religious activities to the Judenrat's administration. Separate chapters deal with the mass deportations to Treblinka and the famous uprising. A series of original maps, along with biographies, a glossary, and a bibliography, completes this masterful work. ISBN 0300112343.…
