"I hope The Long Walk will remain as a memorial to all those who
live and die for freedom, and for all those who for many reasons
could not speak for themselves."--Slavomir Rawicz In 1941, the
author and six other fellow prisoners escaped a Soviet labor camp
in Yakutsk--a camp where enduring hunger, cold, untended wounds,
untreated illnesses, and avoiding daily executions were everyday
feats. Their march--over thousands of miles by foot--out of
Siberia, through China, the Gobi Desert, Tibet, and over the
Himalayas to British India is a remarkable statement about man's
desire to be free. While the original book sold hundreds of
thousands of copies, this updated paperback version includes a new
Afterword by the author, as well as the author's Foreword to the
Polish book. Written in a hauntingly detailed, no holds barred way,
the new edition of The Long Walk is destined to outrank its classic
status and guaranteed to forever stay in the reader's mind. ***
Six-time Academy Award-nominee Peter Weir (Master and Commander,
The Truman Show, and The Dead Poets Society) recently directed The
Way Back, a much-anticipated film based on The Long Walk. Starring
Colin Farrell, Jim Sturgess, and Ed Harris, it is due for release
in 2011.
