Ashes and Diamonds | Jerzy Andrzejewski, David J. Welsh

2 posts | 3 read | 5 to read

Originally published in Poland in 1948, and acclaimed as one of the finest postwar Polish novels, Ashes and Diamonds takes place in the spring of 1945, as the nation is in the throes of its transformation to People' Poland. Communists, socialists, and nationalists; thieves and black marketeers; servants and fading aristocrats; veteran terrorists and bands of murderous children bewitched by the lure of crime and adventure--all of these converge on a provincial town's chief hotel, a microcosm of an uprooted world.

It weaves together many threads and many stories to create a compelling and sometimes muddled portrait of post-WWII Poland.

Through the eyes of the many characters from all political and social classes and their interactions the author depicts a memorable and realistic snapshot of the enormous upheaval and uncertainty of this moment in time. #1001books
