SynopsisTadeusz Borowski's concentration camp stories were based on his own experiences surviving Auschwitz and Dachau. In spare, brutal prose he describes a world where where the will to survive overrides compassion and prisoners eat, work and sleep a few yards from where others are murdered; where the difference between human beings is reduced to a second bowl of soup, an extra blanket or the luxury of a pair of shoes with thick soles; and where the line between normality and abnormality vanishes. Published in Poland after the Second World War, these stories constitute a masterwork of world literature. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators., Tadeusz Borowski's concentration camp stories were based on his own experiences surviving Auschwitz and Dachau.

Amazing History Lesson
We all learn about the concentration camps as kids in school, but not from the angle as it's explained in this Borowski collection . Terrifying and amazing short stories. The will to survive shows no bounds in these stories. I was shook and dramatically moved. It was incredibly dark, but full of enlightenment. I highly recommend !!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
