Aleksander Fiut's groundbreaking study delves into the profound artistry and philosophical depths of Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milosz's remarkable oeuvre. Fiut challenges simplistic categorizations of Milosz as solely a poet of Poland, history, or the Holocaust, instead exploring profound themes such as his quest to uncover the essence of human nature, which transcends historical, social, and biological boundaries. He reflects on the erosion of the Christian imagination, leading to a significant gap between an individual's inner life and the collective human image shaped by scientific theories. Milosz's efforts to rebuild an anthropocentric worldview, while acknowledging the factors that have undermined it, are examined in detail. Furthermore, he endeavors to recreate a language that blends poetic beauty with philosophical depth, offering English-speaking readers a comprehensive introduction to this influential poet. "The Eternal Moment" originally published in Polish in 1987, is now available in an English translation that extensively quotes from Milosz's Collected Poems. This edition serves as a vital gateway for readers unfamiliar with Milosz's work, providing a comprehensive exploration of his poetic genius. "The Eternal Moment" is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, a commitment to resurrecting and amplifying the voices of exceptional scholars. Drawing from a rich backlist dating back to 1893, Voices Revived utilizes print-on-demand technology to make high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again. Originally published in 1990, this title contributes to UC Press's mission of seeking out and nurturing the brightest minds, ensuring their ideas reach a wider audience and have a lasting impact.
