Item #206058 Kamienny Swiat; [World of Stone]. Tadeusz Borowski.

Kamienny Swiat; [World of Stone]

[Krakow]: Czytelnik, 1948. First Edition. Small 8vo, 143; original printed wrappers. Cheap paper evenly toned; wrapper pulled partly free of spine, a bit of wear; a chip to lower front corner and a fingernail-sized piece missing from base of spine. Despite these flaws, a better copy than it sound of this delicate book. Item #206058

One of two collections of stories that Borowski based upon his experiences in Nazi concentration camps. The works, collected in English translation as "This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen," are some of the most powerful and harrowing examples of holocaust literature.
