In this new collection of essays, Adam Michnik - one of Europe's
leading dissidents - traces the post-cold-war transformation of
Eastern Europe. He writes again in opposition, this time to
post-communist elites and European Union bureaucrats. Composed of
history, memoir, and political critique, "In Search of Lost
Meaning" shines a spotlight on the changes in Poland and the
Eastern Bloc in the post-1989 years. Michnik asks what mistakes
were made and what we can learn from climactic events in Poland's
past, in its literature, and the histories of Central and Eastern
Europe. He calls attention to pivotal moments in which central
figures like Lech Walesa and political movements like Solidarity
came into being, how these movements attempted to uproot the past,
and how subsequent events have ultimately challenged Poland's
enduring ethical legacy of morality and liberalism. Reflecting on
the most recent efforts to grapple with Poland's Jewish history and
residual guilt, this profoundly important book throws light not
only on recent events, but also on the thinking of one of their
most important protagonists.
