Featuring 20th-century writers, including Nobel Prize winners Czeslaw Milosz and Wislawa Szymborska, as well as celebrated poet Zbigniew Herbert and internationally renowned Bruno Schulz, this collection captures the brilliance and originality of a literary culture rightly considered one of the most important and influential of our time. These writers are branded by the political realities of their country — creating literature out of the brutality of the World War II, under the numbing and inhibiting Communist reign, and finally within a free society, but one freighted with the weight of its history.

Cover illustration by Jozef Czapski. keywords: Europe Poland Literature Translated Anthology World Literature. DESCRIPTION - POLISH WRITERS ON WRITING captures the brilliance and originality of a literature rightly considered one of the most important and influential of our time. These writers are branded by the political realities of their country - creating literature out of the brutality of the Second World War, under the inhibiting and numbing Communist reign, and finally within a free society, but one burdened by its history. No common denominator, not even the easy one of 'Polish twentieth-century authors,' does justice to the variety of talents, styles, and experiences in this collection. 'All of the writers have lived in the same house', Zagajewski says, 'in the house of a shared history and a shared language, but the windows of their apartments face quite different directions.'
