Bookquest: Krakow, Poland

10/9/2013 - Massolit


Another Beauty by Adam Zagajewski

Another Beauty is a memoir about post-WWII Krakow written by a Polish poet. I had walked through Krakow's beautiful town center to reach the bookstore, so I was looking for a book that could evoke the city's beauty.

The bookstore Massolit was pretty excellent. I didn't expect to have much luck; I had heard, wrongly, that there is very little Polish literature translated into English. Massolit had plenty, and also English-language nonfiction. The staff was also helpful; they spoke English and gave a few recommendations.
