MILOSZ Czeslaw
OCALENIE / POEM ON SALVATION
First Edition!
The first post-war and fourth volume of poetry by Czesław Miłosz. It contains poems written in the years 1932-1939 (previously printed in magazines and earlier volumes) and new works, written during the war. "The volume was recognized as the most accurate poetic record of the experiences of the entire nation in the era of the war cataclysm [...]. Salvation was adopted as a tribute to occupied and insurgent Warsaw, the tragic struggles of the ghetto, and the heroism of the fighters and the fallen."
