About This Item
Holmes & Meier Publishers Inc, 1997. Soft cover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Holmes & MeierPublishers, New York, 1997. Trade Paperback in Good Condition. Translated from the Czech by Franci Epstein and Helen Epstein with the author. Clean lavender cover with light wear to edges, cover flares up, no spine creases, tight and solid glued binding. Ink underlining throughout, neatly done, does no interfere at all with ease of reading. Otherwise pages clean and clear, not toned. Kovaly's exposition of the lives caught up in Czechoslovakia's tragic fate under the Nazis and then during the Stalin era illuminates the chaotic life of a nation. Kovaly was deported to concentration camps, escaped from a death march, nearly starved in the post war years, only to be shattered by her husband's conviction in the infamous 1952 Slansky trial and his execution. A gripping memoir. 192 pages. 8vo. 1997, Holmes & Meier Publishers Inc. ISBN10: 0841913773, ISBN13: 9780841913776
