<p><b>A compelling personal introduction to the life and work of Nobel Prize</b>¿<b>winning writer Czeslaw Milosz from his fellow Polish exile and acclaimed writer Eva Hoffman</b><br><br>Czeslaw Milosz (1911¿2004)...

After The Second World War, the author was exiled for many years from his home country of Poland. In this book, he evokes that homeland and his years away from it; how it nurtured him and how its divisions and destruction shaped a generation.

Offers a collection of essays that covers the author's passion for poetry, his love of the Polish language that was so nearly wiped out by the violence of the twentieth century, and his happy childhood.

Written in Paris in the early 1950s, this book created instant controversy in its analysis of modern society that had allowed itself to be hypnotized by socio-political doctrines, and to accept totalitarian terror on the strength of a hypothetical future.
