《钢琴师》一书首先于1946年在波兰出版，原名为《城市之死》。这是波兰广播电台著名钢琴师瓦迪斯瓦夫·什皮尔曼用生命和灵魂书写的一部回忆录。当时第二次世界大战的硝烟刚刚在波兰消散，他怀着清晰而痛苦的记忆，用朴素的语言和一颗经受过死亡洗礼的心，以平淡而毫不夸张的语气讲述那段犹太人和整个华沙城一起被毁灭的经历。从天而降的战争，犹太人被像牲畜一样大批地转运和迁移，焚尸炉和毒气室里的魂灵，亲人的离散，疾病，饥饿和绝望折磨……
神秘的生命呼唤以及最后的得救。所有这一切都震撼着读者的心灵，引人深思。“书中塑造的形象不同寻常的清晰……可是它的道德内涵更引人注目：什皮尔曼拒绝把任何人描写成英雄或魔鬼。”“《钢琴师》是一部关于幸存的绝好回忆录……纳粹侵略的生动画面、对犹太聚居区情况的再现、以及他全家人与那么多犹太人一起被送到集中营的情景，所有这些都使读者感到心灵的震撼。什皮尔曼是技艺高超的作家。”
