Skip "Brief History", and scoop "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene. More complete, more compelling, more recent.

 

And if you're in a pseudo-math geek/philosophy/technology mood, "Godel, Escher and Bach" by Douglas Hoftstadter is where it's hizzat. Beer,

the painted bird....

 

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/080213422X.01._PE20_PIdp-schmoo2,TopRight,7,-26_SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg'>

 

authour: Jerzy N. Kosinski

 

a minor classic on WWII, February 5, 2002

Reviewer: Robert J. Crawford (see more about me) from Evanston, Il. United States

If ever you thought there wre limits to human cruelty and depravity, all you need do is read this book. It is the closest thing to a tour of hell that the 20C could provide.

 

The story centers around a sensitive and intelligent child, who was left in the hands of a caretaker in the countryside during WWII. When the caretaker dies suddenly, the child is left to fend for himself in the Polish countryside, where the population is superstitious and poverty stricken. He lived through a succession of horrors, including beatings, exposure to sex, and threats to his life. He survives, of course, and makes extremely interesting observations with the clarity - and peculiar warp - of a child. He also becomes as cruel as his tormentors, but still reachable and able to grow. It is a glimpse of what that war was like.

 

This makes Painted Bird a brilliant novel, undoubtedly Kozinski's best though also his first. It is a tradegy that Kosinski lied about his past, perhaps to market the book and also to create a myth about himself, saying that this was autobiographical when in fact he had spent the war in relative comfort with his parents. When the truth became known, he committed suicide. But that does not diminish the magnitude of his acheivement here.

 

 

 

note:this is the most valid response i have ever givin to one of your threads, seeking.
