Medallions by Zofia Nalkowska
Considered a masterpiece of antifascist world literature, Medallions stands as the culmination of Nalkowska's literary style. More than mere historical record, Medallions offers the reader startling immediacy, the repetition of an event as it persists in the testimonial present, in the scars on the consciousness and conscience of individuals.
[A] powerful and important work" —Jewish Book World
A novelist, dramatist, short-story writer, and essayist, Zofia Nalkowska (1884-1954) was a leading proponent of the avant-garde of her day. A resident of Warsaw, she was an active member of the Polish PEN Club, the first female member of the Polish Academy of Literature, and the patron of a popular Warsaw literary salon.
