Blending history, biography and travelogue, this book explores his childhood and youth in Russian-occupied Poland, his experiences as a sea-captain, and his life as an emigrant. It argues that the forces that shaped his world – migration, nationalism, revolution and terrorism – are still shaping ours, which is why his books resonate so strongly today.See MoreSee Less publ $30.00now £7.99 Qty Qty123 Add to Basket CategoriesLiterary CriticismTags20th century historyBiographyLiterature & literary studies
