"Rawicz extended the frontier of artistic expression, by giving the
unbearable a bearable frame."-from the introduction With the
publication of this paperback edition of Piotr Rawicz's
prizewinning Blood from the Sky, a classic of Holocaust literature
emerges from many years out of print. A novel of richness and deep
originality, it tells the story of Boris D., a Jewish resident of
Lvov who poses as a non-Jew to evade the Nazis. Boris survives
imprisonment in a death camp and moves to Paris following the war.
Yet his account of his experiences is no celebration of survival;
it is rather a commemoration of the horrifying deaths of countless
others. Rawicz in this work has found a possible response to the
events of the Holocaust: an unforgettable cry of lyric pain that
transforms the horrors of history and memory into art.
