1 y separately published work icon Selected Poems : Julian Tuwim Julian Tuwim , Marcel Weyland (translator), Blackheath : Brandl and Schlesinger , 2018 12290334 2018 selected work poetry

'Marcel Weyland's new translations in this anthology of Tuwim's poetry are a triumph of a kindred spirit who shares with the Poet his sense of semantic experiment and emotional adventure rarely seen in the world of poetry. Mr Weyland managed yet again. Through his exceptional gift of poetic empathy and intuition, he managed to put another Polish poet into global circulation, claiming for Julian Tuwim his rightful place in the Pantheon of world literature.'

1 2 y separately published work icon The Boy on the Tricycle Marcel Weyland , Blackheath : Brandl and Schlesinger , 2016 9621058 2016 single work autobiography

'The Boy on the Tricycle - Marcel Weyland's extraordinary story, describes the three shapers of his life: a beautiful woman, their witch's castle home and a national epic poem; his life in three continents and his three professions - architecture, law and his multi-award winning English translations of Polish poetry. He describes how he survived World War Two as one of the refugees saved by the Japanese Diplomat, Chiune Sugihara. The memoir is also the tale of a long-lasting love affair which transcended differences of nationality and religion. The culture and history against which this story is played out are dominant themes of the memoir, including vignettes of prewar eastern Europe, pre-war Japan and wartime China, and the post-war innocence of Sydney. Generously illustrated.' (Publication summary)

This is the story of a youth who was forced to grow up during the Nazi occupation of his country, Poland. Although he saw death all around him, he reached out to life. Despite the surrounding horrors, the book is surprisingly cheerful. How it was possible for the author to carry from this wartime Hell an enduring faith in humanity is his great personal victory.'
