The Beautiful Mrs Seidenman
'Magnificent. Complex, wise, unsentimental and very moving' Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie 'Dense, lyrical and deeply unsettling' New York Times 'A fine balance between poetic tenderness and an unflinching account of the brutal realities of the day' Guardian 'Extraordinarily original' Los Angeles Times 'The prose is stunning, thanks to a masterful translation by Klara Glowczewska, and the characters are so fully fleshed that they seem to step off the page' NPR 'Grips the reader with the power of a high-class thriller' Frankfurter Rundschau 'All at once she thought that a life is only that which has passed.

At times a dark lament, at others a sly and sardonic thriller, The Beautiful Mrs. Seidenman is the story of the thirty-six hours that follow Irma's arrest and the events that lead to her dramatic rescue.

Moreover, the perception of Jews as Germans in this region is also discussed in detail.
Postal Indiscretions
In a brief life deeply and traumatically disrupted by two years in concentration camps as a political prisoner, Tadeusz Borowski (1922-1951) was tragically destined to become one of the most eloquent witnesses to the Holocaust in Poland. His recollections and stories, the most famous of which is This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen, document in stark historical, literary, and personal terms the experience of the camps and its cost to humanity. The correspondence in this volume expands on the insights of Borowski's published work and extends to the less-documented aftermath of the Holocaust in postwar Poland and East Germany. The volume opens with Borowski's letter to his mother from Pa...
