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.\" \u003cstrong\u003eTime Stood Still\u003c\/strong\u003e is a passionate but balanced argument against internment and its inherently dehumanizing effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"A civilian \u003cstrong\u003eAll Quiet on the Western Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\" - \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 276\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 7.81 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47189831188729,"sku":"9781915812049","price":33.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/amEAVN1trd9781915812049_1d7ce241-be5b-413a-858a-06c421e5bc39.webp?v=1767884349","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/time-stood-still-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
