About the book: 2004 / Anthony Libera is a famous expert on the work of S. Beckett, theater director, translator, literary critic. The novel “Madame” aroused great interest in Poland and was translated into many languages. A lively and vividly written book attracts not only its intriguing plot (the story of a student falling in love with a teacher) or its play with literary realities, which sophisticated bibliomaniacs can appreciate. The reader is given the opportunity to plunge into the atmosphere of Poland in the late sixties, and, together with the hero, to go through the path of his intellectual development.
