The Pianist: the Extraordinary True Story of One Man's Survival in Warsaw, 1939-1945
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Picador USA
- Publish date: 12/01/1999
Description:
On September 23, 1939, Wladyslaw Szpilman played Chopin's Nocturne in C sharp minor as shells exploded outside -- so loudly that he couldn't hear his piano. It was the last live music broadcast from Warsaw: that day, a German bomb hit the station, and Polish Radio went off the air.
Expand description
Though he lost his entire family, Szpilman survived in hiding. In the end, his life was saved by a German officer who heard him play the same Chopin Nocturne on a piano found among the rubble. Written immediately after the war and suppressed for decades, The Pianist is a testament to human endurance and the redemptive power of fellow feeling.
