Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Impression. Paperback. In POLISH and ENGLISH Text. Pan Tadeusz or The Last Foray in LithuaniaTranslated Into English Verse With an Introduction by Kenneth R. MacKenzie. Pan Tadeusz, as the title-page informs us, is a tale of country life among the gentry in the years 1811 and 1812. The function of the narrative is to form a framework for an idealized picture of life in Lithuania at the beginning of the century. The poem's intense national feeling has not prevented its recognition in other countries. it has been translated into every European language, and three English versions have preceded the one now offered. Pan Tadeusz is not a narriwly patriotic poem. It is not a poem in praise of Poland; in all its nearly ten thousand lines one can recall only one sentence of direct glorification, the highly dubious state that Polish coffee is best. It is a poem of the love of country. it matters not that the lineaments of the beloved are not those of our own. For Soplicowo is not to be found on any map of Poland, nor anywhere on this earth; it is a corner of that heavenly country to which all men belong. 599 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
