Poland. Our narrator has no intention of being a hero. He plans to survive this war, whatever it takes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeticulously he recounts his experiences: the slow unravelling of national events as well as uncomfortable personal encounters on the street, in the café, at the office, in his love affairs. He is intimate but reserved; conversational but careful; reflective but determined. As he becomes increasingly and chillingly alienated from other people, the reader is drawn into complicit acquiescence. We are forced to consider what it means to be heroic and how we ourselves would behave in the same circumstances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten in 1961, this is the masterpiece of one of the great Polish writers of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eprovocative, troubling, awkward . . . a proper classic * The Sunday Times *","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49083430633815,"sku":"9780241351604","price":9.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780241351604.jpg?v=1725548918","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-memoir-of-an-antihero-9780241351604","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
