Tadeusz Borowski

0.0 (0)

"In a brief life traumatically disrupted by two years in concentration camps as a political prisoner, Tadeusz Borowski (1922-51) was destined to become one of the most eloquent witnesses to the Holocaust in Poland. His recollections and stories, the most famous of which is "This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen," document in stark historical, literary, and personal terms the experience of the camps and their cost to humanity." "Borowski's correspondence, collected here for the first time in English, continues these themes, providing insights into his published work and the world of letters he inhabited. Especially poignant are his outpourings to his fiancee, Tuska (Maria Rundo); their long separation and eventual reunion play out against the aftermath of the Holocaust in postwar Poland and East Germany." "The volume opens with Borowski's letter to his mother from Pawiak Prison the day after his arrest in 1943 and closes with an unsigned telegram informing his parents of a sudden illness, actually his suicide. The letters to and from family members, friends, and literary figures offer an indispensable picture of the world in the wake of the Nazis - and of the indelible stain that experience left upon the literature, politics, and life of Eastern Europe, in particular upon one gifted and doomed writer."--BOOK JACKET.
