I didn't enjoy this book as much as I thought I would, considering it was written by the literary Nobel Prize winner.

I think the main problem I had with this book was that it contained so much history - I do understand, that the literature of Poland is deeply connected with its history and to understand one you need to know something about the other - but I had this feeling, that a half or more of this book was about history and literature was less important. Some authors were just mentioned in a few lines and I kept thinking why Milosz wrote about them at all if they were obviously so unimportant for him. I'd prefer less names, but more facts about the ones who were left.

On the other hand, I think the book was very well written and really informative and may be a good textbook for people interested in learning more about both history and literature of Poland.

Ensayo de Milosz escrito para explicar porque deserto del bloque soviético. Explica bien la fascinacion. de los intelectuales, y de los compañeros de ruta con el Imperio Soviético. y describe la sociedad centro europea cuya cultura me es ajena y a la que describe el y Zweig en algunas de sus obras,

It feels a little strange eating this book since it was intentionally unfinished and exists mainly as the world building part of a larger story waiting to be told. Nevertheless, it's an interesting read and perhaps a strange introduction to Milosz.

"The Cardinal's Treatment" is a chapter that stood out as particularly well-formed and engaging.

One of the best anthologies anywhere. A much needed representation of world poetry for those of us whose experience has been limited by geography.
