Description:Written in the late 1970s before the author's critically acclaimed set of memoirs, A Warsaw Diary and Paris/New York , this uncompromising piece of fiction attempts to describe the "objective truth" about the Nazi occupation of Warsaw and its tragic aftermath. Narrator Tom is ostensibly writing a polemic in response to an article in a literary journal that described, he feels erroneously, his own activities as a WW II resistance fighter. But the book doubles as a reflection on the fortunes of a generation who came of age during the war. Reputedly, Tom is the illegitimate son of a famous Polish general, which gives him a certain cachet among his peers and inevitably leads him to abandon his promising career as a lawyer to join the Polish Home Army at the onset of the war. Ironically, it is his participation in the resistance movement that leads him later to be branded a "subversive" and jailed by the Communists. He also has a love affair with a mysterious tormented actress--the book's dominant storyline. Eschewing theatrics, Brandys presents the war years for the most part as banal, punctuated by acts of senseless violence; lethargic pacing and lengthy philosophical digressions detract from this otherwise splendid attempt to portray the lives of a displaced generation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
