Camp Notebook is a masterpiece in its own right, a crucial work of
European verse. It is one of the greatest pieces of literature to
emerge from the Holocaust, and probably the finest volume of poetry
born from the horror of the Second World War. "... in a tiny
concealed notebook, [the poet] wrote his last and finest poems. In
1944, Radnoti was shot while being force-marched towards Germany
and his body, exhumed from a ditch after the war, was identified
from the notebook in his pocket. This notebook, reproduced here in
facsimile ... adds tremendous poignancy to Francis R. Jones's new
translation." Translation Review Vol. 7, No. 1, 2001 "The clarity,
directness and formal skill of Francis Jones's translations ensure
that Camp Notebook joins and extends the best of the Radnoti canon
in English and is part of the process of sounding the full depth of
the original poems." George Szirtes
