The Pianist. Memoirs from Warsaw 1939-194. By Wladyslaw Szpilman. Foreword and conclusion by Andrzej Szpilman. Diary excerpts by Wilm Hosenfeld. Afterword by Wolf Biermann. Translated from the Polish by Þrándur Thoroddsen.
Wladyslaw Szpilman, a renowned soloist and composer in Poland, managed to survive Nazi persecution in a superhuman way and immediately after the war he wrote down his story. But half a century passed before it came before the eyes of readers. The pianist describes how the beauty of life can turn into its terrifying opposite. This is a story that reflects the strength of the individual, his rare perseverance and courage, and strengthens faith in the human spirit. The book immediately attracted global attention and was chosen as the "best true story" book of the year 1999. It has been translated into many languages and also made into a film.
