Description: Up for purchase is a LIKE NEW Trade Paperback Edition of Tomasz Jedrowski's 2021 Coming of Age novel entitled, "SWIMMING IN THE DARK."This book has been translated into English from the original Polish version.Set in early 1980s Poland against the violent decline of Communism, a tender and passionate story of first love between two young men who eventually find themselves on opposite sides of the political divide.When university student Ludwik meets Janusz at a summer agricultural camp, he is fascinated yet wary of this handsome, carefree stranger.But a chance meeting by the river soon becomes an intense, exhilarating, and all-consuming affair.After their camp duties are fulfilled, the pair spend a dreamlike few weeks in the countryside, bonding over an illicit copy of James Baldwin’s "Giovanni’s Room."Inhabiting a beautiful, natural world removed from society and its constraints, Ludwik and Janusz fall deeply in love. But in their repressive Communist and Catholic society, the passion they share is utterly unthinkable.Their secret love and personal and political differences slowly begin to tear them apart as both men struggle to survive in a regime on the brink of collapse.Shifting from the intoxication of first love to the quiet melancholy of growing up and growing apart, "Swimming in the Dark" is a potent blend of romance, postwar politics, intrigue, and history.The book is in LIKE NEW condition with no bent or creased pages.
