The Painted Bird

The Painted Bird

by Jerzy Kosinski

  • LITERATURE
  • 1995
  • PAPER
  • 256 PAGES

Based on much of the author's own experiences in World War II Poland, "The Painted Bird" won international recognition for Jerzy Kosinski. The often disturbing account of a young Jewish boy's journey through rural Poland as he tries to evade everyone from SS officers to Anti-Semitic Polish peasants will leave an indelible impression. A powerful, frankly disturbing account of the cruelty of war.  (PLD07, $14.00)
