New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1998.

First edition of the author’s memoirs. Octavo, original half cloth. Lengthily signed by the author on the title page with the following line from this work, which reads, “We find comfort only in another beauty, in others music Adam Zagajewski.” Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Marc J. Cohen. Translated by Clare Cavanagh. A unique example.

This work focuses on Zagajewski's student years and early time as a poet in Kraków in the 1960s and 1970s, and his involvement with the artist group "Now", leaving aestheticism behind to focus on contemporary politics and clash with communist authorities.
