„Który skrzywdziłeś człowieka prostego”, czyli Miłosz na nowo odczytany

Abstract

The present text is a contribution to the reinterpretation of the poetic biography of Czeslaw Milosz, with a particular emphasis on the threads that can contribute to an insightful reinterpretation of the famous work “Whom You Wronged”. The author touches on the future Nobel Prize winner’s ties with the Żagary poetic group, recalls the catastrophic motifs in his work and, above all, focuses on the aforementioned work in the context of an analysis of wrong – doing and wrong-doer, power and faithful servility, putting into discussion the hitherto exposed attempts at interpretation.
