Piyanist - Bez Ciltli

The Pianist - Cloth-bound Book Description The extraordinary story of a man who managed to survive in Warsaw between 1939 and 1945. I was alone: I was not only alone in a single building or even in a single part of the city, I was alone in a whole city. Władysław Szpilman, a talented pianist working for Polish Radio, begins to live imprisoned in the ghetto, where poverty, hunger and epidemics are rampant, like other Jews, when his country is invaded by the Nazis. Although he manages to escape with the help of a ghetto police officer of Jewish origin who recognizes him when he and his family are about to be put on the train to the concentration camp, he will now try to hold on to life alone, hiding among the ruins. We present this autobiographical work, which is a striking example of the saving power of survival instinct and empathy, written by Szpilman, who witnessed the violence of war for six years and managed to survive through miraculous coincidences despite losing hope many times, with Ülker İnce's meticulous translation.
