SYNOPSIS
The classic novel of a boy’s struggle for survival in WWII Poland, from the National Book Award-winning author of Steps and Being There.
"In 1939, a six-year-old boy is sent by his anti-Nazi parents to a remote village in Poland where they believe he will be safe. Things happen, however, and the boy is left to roam the Polish countryside. . . . To the blond, blue-eyed peasants in this part of the country, the swarthy, dark-eyed boy who speaks the dialect of the educated class is either Jew, gypsy, vampire, or devil. They fear him and they fear what the Germans will do to them if he is found among them. So he must keep moving. In doing so, over a period of years, he observes every conceivable variation on the theme of horror" (Kirkus Reviews).
Originally published in 1965, The Painted Bird established Jerzy Kosinski as a major literary figure. With sparse prose and vivid imagery, it is a story of mythic proportion and timeless human relevance.
"One of the best . . . Written with deep sincerity and sensitivity." —Elie Wiesel, The New York Times Book Review
"Of all the remarkable fiction that emerged from World Wat II, nothing stands higher than Jerzy Kosinski’s The Painted Bird. A magnificent work of art, and a celebration of the individual will. No one who reads it will forget it; no one who reads it will be unmoved by it. The Painted Bird enriches our literature and our lives." —Jonathan Yardley, The Miami Herald
"Extraordinary . . . Literally staggering . . . One of the most powerful books I have ever read." —Richard Kluger, Harper’s Magazine
"One of our most significant writers." —Newsweek

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jerzy Kosinski
Jerzy Kosinski nasceu em Lodz em 1933 com o apelido
Lewinkopf. Após a invasão da Polónia pelos alemães em
1939, foi separado dos pais e enviado para a protecção
possível de estranhos, partilhando o destino errante de milhares
de crianças judias polacas. Com estudos superiores
em Sociologia e Ciência Política, uma bolsa da Fundação
Ford permitiu-lhe viajar para os Estados Unidos em 1957,
onde se estabeleceria. Aprendendo inglês e sobrevivendo
como podia, escreveu o livro de ensaios The Future Is Ours,
Comrade: Conversations with the Russians sob o pseudónimo
Joseph Novak. Em 1965, a edição de The Painted Bird
marcaria o início de uma carreira fulgurante no mundo das
letras norte-americanas. Das suas obras posteriores podem
destacar-se Steps (que venceu o National Book Award de
1969), Being There e The Devil Tree.
Transformado numa celebridade, Kosinski conjugava o
convívio íntimo com a beautiful people da upper (e lower)
Manhattan e Hollywood com o trabalho de professor, novelista,
ensaísta, presidente da secção americana do PEN,
fotógrafo, argumentista de cinema (adaptando Being There
para Peter Sellers, no que viria a ser o último filme deste)
e actor (uma intensa encarnação de Grigory Zinoviev no
épico de Warren Beatty Reds).
Como efeito de uma decadência física acentuada, de uma
profunda depressão ou, como escreveu John Corry, por ter
sido finalmente apanhado pelos seus fantasmas, Kosinski
suicidou-se a 3 de Maio de 1991 em Nova Iorque.
