A young Jewish boy somewhere in Eastern Europe seeks refuge during World War II where he encounters many different characters. A deep, dramatic story dealing with the intermediate relation between the terror and cruelty on one hand and innocence and love on the other hand. Despite causing many controversies since its publication in 1965, the work itself received a worldwide acclaim and many prestigious literary awards. The Painted Bird is the first and most famous novel of Jerzy Kosinsky, one of the most important and distinctive international writers of the 20th Century, who is also an author of works such as Being There, or Pinball.
