Artur Daniel LiskowackiEine kleine
Eine kleine is the first novel about the German Stettin and the birth of the Polish Szczecin: a collective portrait of a real city, and of the city of S. in its literary counterfeit. A dramatic and broad panorama timewise, showing the stories of individuals at a historic moment full of events which changed the history of modern Europe and the borders of its countries.
Like Liskowacki's earlier books, it addresses the myth of the lost city of Atlantis. Behind on antiquarian's precision and respect for detail there is a welter of emotion, a personal discourse with the remembrance of History. Eine kleine deals with the painful and delicate problems, such as the eviction of the Germans from post-war Szczecin. However, it does this from the universal human perspective.
The book was one of the finalists for the Nike 2001 Prize, Poland's principal literary award.
Artur Daniel Liskowacki (b. 1956), poet, prose-writer, children's writer, essayist, and theatre critic. He publishes his work in numerous periodicals. His earlier essayist books, The Streets of Szczecin [Ulice Szczecina], and Mr. Kirsch's Sugar-Bowl [Cukiernica pani Kirsch], and the present book, make up what has been called a Szczecin Triptych.
