ENThe author of the article analysed the relationship between two prominent Polish writers: Czesław Miłosz (1911-2004), the Nobel Prize winner of 1981, and Stanisław Vincenz (1888-1971), Polish author of prose and essays, an expert and lover of the Hucul culture and of the thought and art of ancient Greece. The friendship between these two authors, their views on the condition of Europe after World War II, and their dialogue on aesthetic issues are presented by the author in the light of the correspondence between Miłosz and Vincenz, which thrived until the poet returned from the United States.
