Czeslaw Milosz's religious thought is situated in the perspective of nihilistic breakthrough and three crises of modernity connected with it. The poet contradicts the 20th century ideologies with the famous analyses and diagnoses. When faced with ontological crisis, he tried to answer through the epiphanic metaphor of 'endless moment', and via symbolization changing experience into an image of Reality. As far as the crisis of religious imagination is concerned, the poet recalls the beauty disclosing the real state of the world. The patron saint of this route would be the worship of Hail Mary - Beautiful Lady. Thus, one may speak here about promethean poetry which gives poet a task of 'saving' (redeeming) the world. All of it led Milosz to crusade against ideologies, to fight for the objectivism of Reality and to oppose a subjective treatment of contemporary art. Religious sensitivity sets Milosz among the trends of contemporary theological thought on the side of anthropology and theology of culture.

Czeslaw Milosz's Biblical work is an exceptional event in the history of Polish biblical translation since apart from his own translations Milosz suggested his own, unique conception of the Bible translation. It relies on two basic principles. The first is the principle of primacy of the original. Milosz claimed that a strong desire to clarity might result in overshadowing of the poetical beauty of the Biblical books, and thus he postulated to save the original imagery in translation. The second principle relates to the faithfulness to linguistic tradition; Milosz often stressed his regard for the Polish biblical style. Among 10 Biblical books translated by Milosz, the Gospel according to Saint Mark enjoys an exceptional position since it comprises the most consistent realization of the accepted theoretical assumptions. The translation is characterized by a sophisticated style which is a result of a dialogue with Old-Polish translations. The poet managed to make a translation from which the aura of the sacred emanates.

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.

The article shows in practice how to use the instruments of analysis developed by Harold Bloom in his 'The Anxiety of Influence'. The author provides an interpretation of 'Appendix' - a series of poems where Rózewicz 'rewrites', as it were, Leopold Staff's texts - construing it as an instance of a typically Bloomian situation, wherein a young poet reinterprets his poetical master's work. Having demonstrated that 'Appendix' exhibits all the six revisionary ratios discussed by Bloom, the author argues that Staff is not the 'precursor' (i.e. the one who influences Rózewicz's work) and goes on to claim that it is more important for Rózewicz to identify with his brother than with the Old Poet. After exposing the process of identification and analysing various relations in the Janusz - Tadeusz - Staff triangle, the author arrives at the conclusion that, in Rózewicz's writing, the mechanism of replacing a genuine precursor by someone who only masquerades as one is the rule rather than the exception, which is confirmed by the case of substituting Milosz for the character Janusz.

The article is an attempt to interprete Czeslaw Milosz's rich literary creativity in the context of romantic tradition, especially Adam Mickiewicz's literary heritage. The methodological tool which allows to analyse Milosz's ambivalent attitude to Mickiewicz is Harold Bloom's theory of poetry which relies on the struggle of a 'born late' poet against powerful precursor poets. Discussing 'agon ephebe' in one of his most famous book 'The Anxiety of Influence', Bloom presents six revisional stages in which a 'strong poet' tries to free himself from the influence of the 'Father-poet' and to use him to sanction his own autonomy and original position. Numerous biographical iterations and literary similarities between the two poets in question started a turmulous relationship resulting in pathetic polemics which exemplifies Bloom's theory.

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.
