ENThe subject matter of this present monograph is the Mickiewiczian tradition in the poetry of Czeslaw Milosz. The issue has been presented with regard to an historical context embracing the most important moments in the poet's creative biography. The work is to a great extent an interpretational and intertextual character. For Czeslaw Milosz the poetry and the life of Mickiewicz is one of the most important traditions. There are many similarities between the two poets. They were both born in Lithuania, studied at the same University of Vilnius, later emigrated, experienced Paris and the shores of Lake Leman, and as university professors they lectured in Slavonic literature at foreign universities. Milosz stresses these parallels and ascribes to them some metaphysical sense which seems to be an element of a conscious strategy of self-creation. A biographical perspective is a starting-point for all references of a strictly literary nature. Among these, the fact that Milosz restores the different poetic roles that he finds in Mickiewicz's works and biographical legend is the most fundamental.
