Bilingual edition: English/Polish “Rożewicz's search for an absolute transparency of style articulates the moment of the poem as a kind of nothing that happens nowhere in particular, as if his personal biography disappears each time he sets words on paper — sets words in scorn of words to create an invisible anti-poetry which we seem not to read but to look through at some terrible fact that can never be pinned down, described, or sung.” Reuploaded by miaow

Adam Mickiewicz
Pan Tadeusz or The Last Foray in Lithuania
(a story of life among Polish gentlefolk in the years 1811 and 1812,
in twelve books)
Poet, playwright, and political activist, the leader of Polish Romanticism. Mickiewicz's best-known works include Forefathers' Eve, Grazyna, Konrad Wallenrod, and the long narrative poem Pan Tadeusz. Much of Mickiewicz's work was written in exile in Russia, where he was banished in 1824. After release he spent the rest of his life in Western Europe, where he became the spiritual leader of Polish emigres.
