Michnik now sits in a jail belonging to the totalitarian regime, yet his first concern--and herein lies one of the keys to his thinking, and one should add, to his character--is with the quality of his own conduct, which, together with teh conduct of other victims of the present situation, will, he is sure, one day set the tone for whatever political system follows the totalitarian debacle. His essays are the most valuable guide we have to the origins of the revolution, and, more particularly, to its innovative practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichnik is an original, strong voice, and the fierce eloquence of his prose comes across in this translation.--\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \"This former Wunderkind of KOR, now just 40, is at his liveliest and most penetrating in this selection of historical and policial essays from the past decade.\"--Martin Malia, \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e \"Adam Michnik's eloquent plea for democratic values represents a lesson to us all.\"--William Echikson, \u003ci\u003eChristian Science Monitor\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdam Michnik is a historian, essayist, former dissident, public intellectual, and the editor-in-chief of Poland's largest newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 371\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 8.25 x 5.41 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 06, 1986\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52731611578675,"sku":"9780520061750","price":68.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/aUhTSEduL2lDTnA1R3dGcmpOZEhDdz09.webp?v=1763863226","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/letters-from-prison-and-other-essays-volume-2-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
