Description

Adam Michnik's imprisonment by Poland's military regime in the 1980s did nothing to stop his outpouring of writings. This volume of his letters finds Michnik briefly in prison, then released. Through his writing the reader should follow the changes of the last decade in Poland and East-Central Europe. Committed to freedom, Michnik's belief is that people can get what they want without hatred and violence. His conviction and political acumen is reflected in the interviews transcribed in this book including conversations with Czeslaw Milosz, Vaclav Havel and Wojciech Jaruzelski.

Author Biography:

Adam Michnik is the editor of Gazeta Wyborcza, which he helped to found in 1989. Many of his articles and essays have been translated into other languages, but except for the translation of a 1979 work, The Church and the Left (1992), this is the first collection of his writings to appear in English since Letters from Prison and Other Essays (California, 1986). Irena Grudzinska Gross is the author of The Scar of Revolution: Custine, Tocqueville, and the Romantic Imagination (California, 1991). Jane Cave is the translator of several books from Polish, including Konspira by Maciej Lopinski, Marcin Moskit, and Mariusz Wilk (California, 1990). Ken Jowitt is Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley, and author of New World Disorder: The Leninist Extinction (California, 1992), among other books.
