  • More about Memoir of an Anti-Hero

During World War II, a Polish narrator recounts his experiences and becomes increasingly alienated from others, challenging the concept of heroism and forcing the reader to consider their behavior in similar circumstances.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 80 pages
Publication date: 03 October 2019
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd


The Second World War. Poland. Our narrator has no intention of being a hero. He plans to survive this war, whatever it takes.

Meticulously, he recounts his experiences: the slow unraveling of national events, as well as uncomfortable personal encounters on the street, in the café, at the office, and in his love affairs. He is intimate but reserved; conversational but careful; reflective but determined. As he becomes increasingly and chillingly alienated from other people, the reader is drawn into complicit acquiescence. We are forced to consider what it means to be heroic and how we ourselves would behave in the same circumstances.

Written in 1961, this is the masterpiece of one of the great Polish writers of the 20th century.
