Cockpit

Cockpit

Jerzy Kosinski

The novel Cockpit (1975) is a work by Polish-American writer Jerzy Kosinski. The story follows Tarden, a former agent of the mysterious security agency "Service", who has erased his identity from all files and become a fugitive.

Without a fixed identity, Tarden moves around the world, looking for adventure and intrigue, using numerous masks and roles - from vigilante to savior, from judge to con artist. Entering the lives of others, he forces them to face his judgment, exposing their weaknesses and illusions of security.

The plot is fragmented, consisting of a series of episodes that depict Tarden's manipulations, often characterized by psychological and physical control. The novel explores themes of survival in a hostile world, where Tarden derives his strength from absolute control, often subverting even death.

Kosinski uses a dark, provocative style, imbued with elements of perversion, violence and social criticism, which reflects his distinctive literary stamp. The book received mixed reviews – while British readers praised it, American critics, such as Kirkus Reviews, found it lacking in depth beyond Kosinski's narrative skills. Cockpit is a powerful meditation on identity, power and human nature in a postmodern world.
