About This Item
New York: Harcourt Brace & Company, 1991. Second printing. Hardcover. Very Good/good. Hardcover, 2nd printing in glassine dustjacket. Signed and inscribed by the author on the half-title page, "To David and Ellen Elliot, It's great to think that this book will be read in Bialystok. With warm wishes Arnold Zable." A very good copy - clean, tight and unmarked. Minor edgewear and light sunning to the spine column. Unclipped dustjacket has some chips and warbles to the panel edges - but the effect of the glassine wrapper of the photographic cover is very nice. 210 pp., a personal memoir of retracing the lives and journeys of his parents and family members prior to and during the holocaust.
Synopsis
Like Schindler's List, this is a haunting document for the next generation of Holocaust survivors. Zable travels from Australia to the Eastern European countryside of his parents' remembrance to understand the present-the inner lives of those who, like his parents, survived the hatred but lost every trace of family. Winner of top Australian literary awards.
