Le pote face au nant recle l'une des oeuvres majeures de Czeslaw Milosz (prix Nobel 1980), le Trait de posie, dcrite par Helen Vendler comme l'un des deux pomes majeurs du XXe sicle (avec The Waste land d'Eliot). La traduction de cette oeuvre ainsi que de quelques autres pomes est suivie d'un essai sur la pense du pote, dont le fil conducteur est " la qute du Rel " et la proccupation majeure, la triple crise de notre civilisation : idologique, consumriste et nihiliste. Le pote philosophique, mtaphysique et charnel tout la fois, aprs avoir quitt le Wilno (Vilnius) de sa jeunesse puis Varsovie, a vcu une dizaine d'annes Paris, avant de se retrouver Berkeley, ne revenant que dans les annes 1990 Cracovie. Matre penser incontest surtout en Pologne et aux Etats-Unis, il a laiss le tmoignage des emprises idologiques et existentielles du XXe sicle, ainsi qu'une vision de la posie originale, souvent oppose celle qui domine en France. L'essai de Michel Maslowski tente de dmler les diffrents aspects de sa vie et de son uvre, abordant sa potique, son exprience d'migr et ses dissidences. Le volume se veut une introduction la biographie et la posie de celui qui a t l'un des plus grands crivains et penseurs du XXe sicle.

About the author

Czesław Miłosz

313 books888 followers
Czesław Miłosz was a Nobel Prize winning poet and author of Polish-Lithuanian heritage. He memorialised his Lithuanian childhood in a 1955 novel, The Issa Valley , and in the 1959 memoir Native Realm . After graduating from Sigismund Augustus Gymnasium in Vilnius, he studied law at Stefan Batory University and in 1931 he travelled to Paris, where he was influenced by his distant cousin Oscar Milosz, a French poet of Lithuanian descent and a Swedenborgian. His first volume of poetry was published in 1934.

After receiving his law degree that year, he again spent a year in Paris on a fellowship. Upon returning, he worked as a commentator at Radio Wilno, but was dismissed, an action described as stemming from either his leftist views or for views overly sympathetic to Lithuania. Miłosz wrote all his poetry, fiction, and essays in Polish and translated the Old Testament Psalms into Polish.

Awarded the 1980 Nobel Prize in Literature for being an author "who with uncompromising clear-sightedness voices man's exposed condition in a world of severe conflicts."
