Paperback. Zustand: Good. In these nine stories the Polish writer Aleksander Wat consistently turns history on its ear in comic reversals reverberating with futurist rhythms and the gently mocking humor of despair. Wat inverts the conventions of religion, politics, and culture to fantastic effect, illuminating the anarchic conditions of existence in interwar Europe. The title story finds a superbly ironic Lucifer wandering the Europe of the late 1920s in search of a mission: what impact can a devil have in a godless time? What is his sorcery in a society far more diablical than the devil himself? Too idealistic for a world full of modern cruelties, the unemployable Lucifer finally finds the only means of guaranteed immortality. In "The Eternally Wandering Jew," steady Jewish conversion to Christianity results in Nathan the Talmudist reigning as Pope Urban IX. The hilarious satire on power, "Kings in Exile," unfolds with the dethroned monarchs of Europe meeting to found their own republic in an uninhabited island in the Indian Ocean. …

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 407 pages. In My Century the great Polish poet Aleksander Wat provides an account of lif e in Eastern Europe in the midst of the terrible twentieth century. Based on int erviews with Nobel Prize winner Czeslaw Milosz, My Century describes the artisti c, sexual, and political experimentation - in which Wat was a major participant - that followed the end of World War I; an explosion of talent and ideas which, he argues, in some ways helped to open the door to the destruction that the Nazi s and Bolsheviks soon visited upon the world. But Wat's book is at heart a story of spiritual struggle and conversion. He tells of his separation during World W ar II from his wife and young son, of his confinement in the Soviet prison syste m, of the night when the sound of far-off laughter brought on a vision of the de vil in history. It was then, Wat writes that I began to be a believer.--BOOK JAC KET.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In My Century the great Polish poet Aleksander Wat provides a spellbinding account of life in Eastern Europe in the midst of the terrible twentieth century.

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. En contadas ocasiones, la historia de una vida es también la historia de una época. Tras jugar un papel importante como comunista bajo el régimen autoritario de Pilsudski, haber ido a la guerra, y haber conocido las cárceles y los gulags de la Unión Soviética, Aleksander Wat logra regresar vivo a su Polonia natal en 1947 para emigrar a Francia en 1958, ya muy enfermo, hastiado del clima asfixiante y opresivo de la falta de libertad. Pero su enfermedad le impedía escribir. Será Czes_aw Mi_osz, conocedor extraordinario de su historia, quien le proponga llevar a cabo una serie de entrevistas que posteriormente transcribiría y que conformarán un libro de memorias fundamental del convulso siglo xx. Mi siglo, que finalmente vio la luz en Londres en 1977, casi diez años después de la muerte de Wat, causó sensación en la Polonia del momento. La obra circuló de mano en mano de manera clandestina. La historia de Wat que ha de leerse como una autobiografía espiritual, es, en palabras de Adam Zagajewski que lo presenta en esta edición al público, «un insólito tratado poético y filosófico» y como tal, absolutamente atemporal e imprescindible. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
