Includes the famous "Hiroshima"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This compilation of John Hersey's stories is subtitled "Studies in Human Tenacity" and includes the entire text of his famous work, "Hiroshima." Hersey tells the stoies of an "old lady marooned on a rooftop amidst floods caused by a hurricane," John Kennedy's heroism 17 years before he became President, a Jew in Auschwitz, a crippled G.I.'s reentering civilian life, the rehab of a shellshocked soldier, two Poles who survived persecution, and an escape from 1956 Hungary. He caps off up these uniquely touching essays with the bare, factual, severe and stunning stories of the survivors of the horror of a nuclear bomb detonated in a city -- Hiroshima, Japan.
