Anxious, disillusioned Ludwik Glowacki, soon to graduate university, has been sent along with the rest of his class to an agricultural camp. Here he meets Janusz - and together, they spend a dreamlike summer swimming in secluded lakes, reading forbidden books - and falling in love. But with summer over, the two are sent back to Warsaw, and to the harsh realities of life under the Party. Exiled from paradise, Ludwik and Janusz must decide how they will survive; and in their different choices, find themselves torn apart. Swimming in the Dark is an unforgettable debut about youth, love, and loss - and the sacrifices we make to live lives with meaning.>

  • L'amour au temps du communisme 4/5

    Swimming in the dark est une longue lettre d'amour que Ludwik écrit à Janusz, un homme rencontré dans un camp de travail dans une Pologne post seconde guerre mondiale. Leur amour grandit mais il se trouve restreint par un gouvernement où leur homosexualité constitue un risque pour leur vie. Au fil des pages, les deux hommes essaient tant bien que mal de maintenir leur relation malgré les risques et leurs divergences politiques.
