Time Stood Still - Paul Cohen-portheim

Descriere Time Stood Still - Paul Cohen-portheim

\nA masterpiece of humanism, Time Stood Still recounts Paul Cohen-Portheim's years of internment in England as an enemy alien during World War One. An artist and theatre designer, he at first viewed internment as a sort of holiday: Should I bring my bathing things and evening dress? he asked the policeman taking him prisoner. Though confined in a gentleman's camp near Wakefield, as Cohen-Portheim shows with grace, humour, and deep compassion, even under the best conditions, the simple act of being confined and placed in a sort of limbo was a form of torture: Where there is no aim, no object, no sense, there is no time. Time Stood Still is a passionate but balanced argument against internment and its inherently dehumanizing effects.\n \n \n\n \n A civilian All Quiet on the Western Front - New York Times\n
