Czesław Miłosz i litewscy „Kolumbowie”. Przyczynek do jeszcze jednej biografii równoległej

Abstract

Czeslaw Milosz and „The Generation of Columbuses” in Lithuanian Literature. A contribution to one more parallel biography The main question discussed in the article is: why was it the Lithuanian emigration environment in USA that found Milosz’s poetry a testimony of the era (de facto – their own experience) during the first decade after the WWII. To answer the question mainly two publications are interpreted: the first one is Milosz’s poetry volume translated into Lithuanian, entitled Epochos sąmoningumo poezija (Poetry of the Era’s Self-Awareness) with introduction (by Milosz) and afterword (by a poet Alfonsas Nyka-Niliūnas); the second one is a Lithuanian literary magazine „Literatūros lankai” („Literary sheets”) where Czeslaw Milosz published, and where some interpretations of Milosz’s works, written by Lithuanian writers and philosophers, were published as well.
