"A book that will change your view and appreciation of life."

Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is an amazingly written novel, and tells the story of a real experience, which makes it even more chilling. Wladyslaw writes about everything he experienced in detail in the novel, which provides very real information of the time.

Description

'You can learn more about human nature from this brief account of the survival of one man throughout the war years in the devastated city of Warsaw than from several volumes of the average encyclopaedia' Independent on Sunday 'We are drawn in to share his surprise and then disbelief at the horrifying progress of events, all conveyed with an understated intimacy and dailiness that render them painfully close...riveting' Observer 'The images drawn are unusually sharp and clear...but its moral tone is even more striking: Szpilman refuses to make a hero or a demon out of anyone' Literary Review

Author Biography:

Wladislaw Szpilman was born in 1911. He studied piano at the Warsaw conservatory and at the Academy of Arts in Berlin. From 1945 to 1963 he was Director of Music at Polish Radio, and for many years he also pursued a career as a concert pianist and composer. He continued to live in Warsaw until his death in 2000.
