Vintage, London, 1995. Reprint. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Illustrator: Photographic. XVIII, 524 pages, last four pages blank, includes glossary, notes, index. Illustrated with 16 pages of black-and-white photography,and 1 maps, In 1987, the author, an English born Jew, decided to take a six-month sabbatical to write a book. It took in seven years. His search was from a lost community, one that had vanished along with members of his family when the German army swept into Poland in 1939. -- drawing on archives as well as of testimony, interweaving past and present, Konin is at once a recreation in minute detail of a world that is gonefor ever, and immensely moving story of lives caught up in the sweep of history, and the tale of one man's consuming obsession. -- front fold over blurb. There is on the first page what appears to be a splash of coffee or milk tea. No other damage to declare, reading crease to the spine, age toning of the page edges. Still a very good copy.
