Collecting two of his most celebrated works - Rescue, written in Warsaw in the shadow of Nazi occupation, and A Treatise on Poetry - a momentous history of Poland, told in four cantos - here lie the sharpest fruits of one of the greatest poets of the 20th century- the Nobel Laureate who narrates the rise and fall of nations, who 'voices man's exposed condition in a world of severe conflicts'.

Czeslaw Milosz (1911-2004) won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1980. Born in Lithuania while it was still part of the Russian Empire, he lived much of his life in Poland or exiled in California. He was the author of one of the definitive books on totalitarianism, The Captive Mind, but also wrote with extraordinary vividness and moral authority on his childhood, his experiences under Nazism and on the tragedy of Central Europe.
