Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Czeslaw Milosz (1911-2004) Polish-American author, translator and critic, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1980. Milosz's poetry and essays are a mixture of autobiographical confessions dealing with the effects of exile, religious or metaphysical fragments, historical and literary analyses. Acclaimed as a Catholic poet, Milosz has also a strong pantheist element in his work. "Those who are alive receive a mandate from those who are silent forever. They can fulfill their duties only by trying to reconstruct precisely things as they were and by wrestling the past from fictions and legends." (from Nobel Lecture Czeslaw Milosz was born in Szetejnie, a rural town in Lithuania, then under the domination of the Russian czarist government. In Native Realm (1959) Milosz described his birth region as a land largely forgotten by history: "For many centuries, while kingdoms rose and fell along the shores of the Mediterranean and countless generations handed down their refined pleasures and vices, my native land was a virgin forest whose only visitors were the few Viking ships that landed on the coast." After WW I Milosz's family settled in Vilna, where he had a strict Roman Catholic education. "In a Roman Catholic country," Milosz wrote at an early stage of his career, "intellectual freedom always goes hand in hand with atheism." Later Milosz accepted his religious background and started to study Hebrew in order to render the Old Testament into Polish.

Blog Biography Czeslaw Milosz "who with uncompromising clear-sightedness voices man's exposed condition in a world of severe conflicts. " - Nobel Citation CZESLAW MILOSZ was Born in Szetejnie, Lithuania in 1911. Fleeing Communist Poland Czeslaw Milosz was brought up in Lithuania to a family with an ancient lineage, stretching back to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, a medieval state that stretched from the Baltic to the Black Sea. It was noted for its religious and cultural tolerance and Czeslaw Milosz often wistfully referred to this idealised time, when art could flourish undisturbed by adverse political consequences. As a young man he became interested in writing and became part of a modern movement seeking to revitalise Polish literature. However his literary career was interrupted by the Nazi occupation. As a committed Socialist Czeslaw took part in activities of the resistance, engaged in fighting the Nazi occupation of Poland. After the war he became an important representative of the Polish government. However he became increasingly disenchanted with the totalitarian nature of the Stalinist State and in 1951 he made the bold decision to leave Poland and seek exile in the West. Some left wingers such as Pablo Neruda criticised his decision (2), and Milosz himself felt some kind of guilt for forsaking his countrymen. (He was very happy to be able to return to Poland after the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989). However initially the Americans were suspicious of someone who had served for so long in a Communist government. Therefore for 9 years he lived in Paris. Initially he was quite poor but he was befriended by Albert Camus and he was soon able to work on his writings and poetry. In 1960 he was able to travel to America where he worked as a lecturer on Polish literature at Berkeley University in California

Kolibry przystawaly nad kwiatem kaprifolium. There was no thing on earth I wanted to possess. I knew no one worth my envying him. Nie zualem nikogo, komu warto byloby zazdroscic. Whatever evil I had suffered, I forgot. Co przydarzylo sie zlego, zapamnialem. To think that once I was the same man did not embarrass me. Nie wstydzulem sie myslec, ze bylem kim jestem In my body I felt no pain. When straightening up, I saw the blue sea and sails. Prostujac sie widzialem niebieskie morze i zagle.

By Tamara Straus May 10, 1999 T he bloody war that Slobodan Milosevic is waging in Kosovo is a testament to the power of nationalism. But why has nationalism, an ideology previously associated with the turn of the 19th century, resurged with such fantastic strength in our time? There is perhaps no one better suited to address this question than Czeslaw Milosz, winner of the 1980 Nobel Prize for literature. Milosz has long been regarded as a voice of hope in an age darkened by war, death and destruction. Milosz knows from firsthand experience that countries can simply cease to exist: His own beloved "native realm" (to use the title of his superb memoir), Lithuania, was devoured by the Soviet Union. His magnificent poetry bears eloquent witness to human dignity and resistance in the face of our century's evil. Milosz's work has inspired anti-Nazi demonstrators, Polish Solidarity workers and opponents of totalitarianism in both Eastern and Western Europe.
