Czeslaw Milosz "Beginning With My Streets: Essays and Recollections".
Czesław Miłosz.
A Polish poet remembers when life was an easy place to be, in a memoir that pays tribute to his home town of Wilno and draws portraits of such literary influences as Jerzy Andrzejewski, Robinson Jeffers, and Dostoevsky.
Polish Wilno—now Vilnius, in Lithuania—was the city of Czeslaw Milosz's youth and adolescence. In this collection of essays and reminiscences, written over a span of three decades, the Nobel Prize–winning poet traces an informal autobiography against the street map of an extraordinary city—a crossroads of languages, cultures, and beliefs—that lies at the very heart of his internal geography.
