The article is devoted to the correspondence between Zbigniew Herbert and Czeslaw Milosz. It starts with a short stylistic characteristics of the poets' letters, then the author moves to a discussion on their thematic layer. The first part of the paper discusses the issues on which the poets had different views and which settled their polemics and disputes: political matters, history, patriotic duties, and understanding of art. In the second part, it brings up the issues which united them and gave their letters a character of a friendly dialogue: sources and purposes of writing, and significance of unbiased contact with the visible world. From this perspective, Herbert and Milosz seem to be the representatives of objectivist trend in Polish literature. Suggesting an axiological interpretation of the letters, the author of the paper draws a fragmentary map of the values cherished by the poets.

An attempted reconstruction of the dramatist thread in Zbigniew Herbert's early literary works (1948-1956). The author has used the outcome of his archival enquiry that unveils the hitherto unpublished and uncommented dramatic attempts dated late 1940s. Observed is also 'Jaskinia filozofów' (The cave of philosophers), a piece published in 1956. The article aims at describing Z.Herbert's experience as a playwright in diachronic categories. It attempts at naming and describing the changes in the way the dramatic form was shaped, whilst also setting the line of evolution: from a historical spectacle through an oneiric convention, increasingly self-thematic tendencies, up to the final work, summarising the formal experiment that had been developing for some seven years. At the background of the analyses, the question emerges about the motivation and semantics of the dramaturgical forms and solutions.

This article is an interpretation of Zbigniew Herbert's poem 'Thomas'. It is generally assumed that the writing of the poem was inspired by Caravaggio's painting 'The Incredulity of St Thomas'. However, as the author of this article claims, an equally important inspiration for that poem is to be found in Denise Levertov's 'St Thomas Didymus', a poem translated into Polish by Czeslaw Milosz. In the context of the latter source, Herbert's verse can be read as a poetic vision of the doubting Thomas and an affirmation of man's attempts to question and verify religious truths. For Herbert such questioning is of great significance, both on the level of poetic art and as a source of poetic inspiration.

The concern of the article is a book by Anna Bikont and Joanna Szczesna 'Avalanche and Stones. Writers and Communism', which gives an account of six Polish writers, i.e. Jerzy Andrzejewski, Tadeusz Borowski, Kazimierz Brandys, Tadeusz Konwicki, Adam Wazyk, and Wiktor Woroszylski. It starts with the poets' postwar involvement into communism and socialist realism, and leads through the Party's revisionism to their anti-Polish People's Republic activities as oppositionists. Commenting on the protagonists' fortunes as presented in the book in question, the author takes advantage of the literary-history context, refers to political-literary personal tensions (most of all between Gustaw Herling-Grudzinski, Zbigniew Herbert and Czeslaw Milosz), and pays attention to vital subjects of Polish postwar history, of which most considerable is the origin and ethos of political opposition.
