New York. 1964. Twayne Publishers. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 480 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literary Criticism Poland. DESCRIPTION - This anthology of modern fiction and poetry fulfills the need for a comprehensive introduction to the Polish literature of the last seven decades. The book brings to the American reader a rich tapestry of Polish life through representative selections, many of them never before translated into English. A short historical sketch of Polish literature from its beginning to the present time precedes the text, and brief biographical notes about the authors introduce the selections. No distinction has been drawn between writers now living in Poland and those who live abroad, nor postwar or prewar, for they all reveal a passionate sense of nationality, a preoccupation with the Polish experience of exile and oppression, and the Poles' love of freedom no less than their prejudices. The authors included in this anthology range from famous Nobel prize winners (Wladyslaw Reymont, Henryk Sienkiewicz) to controversial younger men (Marek Hlasko, Czeslaw Milosz, Adam Wazyk); from established great masters of prose (Eliza Orzeszkowa, Boleslaw Prus, Stefan Zeromski) to contemporary and experimental writers (Bruno Schulz, Witold Gombrowicz); from renowned poets (Jan Kasprowicz, Julian Tuwim. Kazimierz Wierzynski) to those recently published (Tadeusz Rozewicz, Zbigniew Herbert). Both the student of Polish literature and the general reader will find these selections re- warding and a timely tribute to the millennium of Poland's unbroken continuity as a nation. inventory #15372.…
