Riassunto

<div>Originally published in Poland in 1948, and acclaimed as one of the finest postwar Polish novels, <i>Ashes and Diamonds</i> takes place in the spring of 1945, as the nation is in the throes of its transformation to People&#39; Poland. Communists, socialists, and nationalists; thieves and black marketeers; servants and fading aristocrats; veteran terrorists and bands of murderous children bewitched by the lure of crime and adventure&#8212;all of these converge on a provincial town&#39;s chief hotel, a microcosm of an uprooted world.</div>
