Una recopilación absolutamente fantástica. Gran rango de autores. Y con la ventaja de ser versión bilingue.

[Matthew Dambro · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice anthology of Polish poetry from the 16th Century to the present. It is bilingual, but I am unable to vouch for the accuracy of the translation. The poems are mostly in the Romantic tradition and most are lovely. It did this Polish/Italian heart good to read them and remember my grandparents speaking Polish so many years ago.

Actually I wrote this review for Vol 2 but it cannot be found in Goodreads. But my review is the same because I read this one as well and have the same opinion:
The translations are rhyming in Polish to rhyming in English, which gives the poems a moon-June feel. I'd like to read these poems in another translation.
