Paperback. Condition: New. Parachuted into France as a British secret agent, Christopher Burney was arrested by the Gestapo and thrown into a solitary confinement cell in a prison outside Paris. There he spent 526 days in complete isolation. With little human contact and nothing to distract him, Burney developed a mental and spi…ritual regime that enabled him not just to survive but to develop an internal resilience that enabled him to survive his subsequent time in Buchenwald concentration camp.Out of print for over 40 years and virtually unknown outside the U.K., Solitary Confinement has quietly developed a reputation as a modern masterpiece of contemplative literature. As the critic Frank Kermode wrote, "The courage and the intellectual integrity Christopher Burney are far beyond what most of us would expect of ourselves.""Readers who are genuinely inquisitive about their own souls and about the prospect for our species should read Solitary Confinement." - Rebecca West.

Trade Paperback. Condition: New. First Edition. New! 'Parachuted into France as a British secret agent, Christopher Burney was arrested by the Gestapo and thrown into a solitary confinement cell in a prison outside Paris. There he spent 526 days in complete isolation. With little human contact and nothing to distract him, Burney… developed a mental and spiritual regime that enabled him not just to survive but to develop an internal resilience that enabled him to survive his subsequent time in a concentration camp. By the time he reached the end of time in solitary, Burney had achieved a state of inner peace he would have hardly thought possible at the outset. These months of confinement, he eventually decided, were "an exercise in liberty." They had allowed him to "scan the horizon of existence' and he had received glimpses of an enlightenment 'behind the variety and activity of life.' Out of print for over 40 years, the Recovered Books series at Boiler House Press is honored to reissue Solitary Confinement, a masterpiece of contemplative literature, as Ted Gioia calls it in his introduction. This edition includes an afterword by Hugh Purcell, author of Tragic Heroes: The Burney Brothers of Hay at War.' ~ Publisher.
