520 |a The Polish novelist Zofia Nałkowska was witness to two world wars and Poland's struggle for independence. Her most renowned work, Medallions, is considered a masterpiece of anti-fascist world literature. Nałkowska's own story of love affairs, family loyalty and survival is remarkable. Yet her determination to record other's truth, however painful, ties her fate to a nation whose battle for identity is both brutal and romantic. Drawing on her own background as a poet and Polish Studies graduate, Jenny Robertson's literary biography celebrates the achievements of a pioneering writer whose love of life not only propelled her to fame but gave her the courage to witness atrocity. In doing so, Nałkowska's life and writing reflect and inform Europe's cultural heritage.
