White Raven — Andrzej Stasiuk

An adventure story and a reflection of the experience of a generation, White Raven is a tale of childhood friends, cast adrift by the tide of change that swept through Poland during the 1980s. Following the accidental death of a policeman, the men go on the run. The urgent flight through the desolate winter mountains abruptly ends with a climax as shocking as it is symbolic. White Raven won the prestigious Fundacja Koscielskich Award.
