About This Novel
This book collects the poems of Polish poet and Nobel Prize winner Czeslaw Miłosz from 1981 to 2001. According to the year of creation and publication, 207 of Miłosz's poems are included, including "Memories of Homeland" (1986), "Chronicle" (1985-1987), "The Other Side" (1991), "Facing the River" (1995), "The Puppy on the Road" (1998) and "This" (2000). In the poetry of the 1980s, poets recalled the people who had passed away and the inaccessible homeland, and pondered our common destiny, but "still could not learn to narrate appropriately and calmly." After entering the 1990s, poetry included conversations with other people, describing the world coldly, and the passion between the lines remained, continuing the discussion of good and evil, truth and freedom. The poet blends personal experience with historical perspective to reveal a revelatory insight.
