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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Cohen-Portheim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1915812046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915812049\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boiler House Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.75d","brand":"Paul Cohen-Portheim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44567311024383,"sku":"9781915812049","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f5cf494-374e-4b67-bcb1-e1b8118beffa.jpg?v=1701377089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/time-stood-still-paul-cohen-portheim-9781915812049","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
