NYR Books The New York Review of Books June 27, 1985 Letter AN OPEN LETTER TO GENERAL JARUZELSKI By Arno Penzias Czeslaw Milosz Daniel Nathans David H. Hubel ... William A. Fowler As members of the international community of intellectuals and scholars we are shocked by the recent indictment and the imminent trial of three dissident leaders, Adam Michnik, Bogdan Lis, and Wladyslaw Frasyniuk. These actions indicate that our hopes for a more tolerant attitude toward free speech in Poland have been unfounded. These leaders, already imprisoned for two months, have been charged with inciting public unrest for merely discussing the possibility of calling a fifteen-minute general strike to protest food price increases. The strike, as you know, never even occurred. Among those jailed is the historian Adam Michnik. A noted author and theorist of democracy, Michnik has devoted a lifetime to nonviolent protest on behalf of economic, cultural, and political freedom. He has already spent several years in prison in Poland. His release last summer was interpreted by some as a harbinger of liberalization. Mr. Michnik's reimprisonment, so suddenly, obviously belies this view. We strongly protest the imprisonment of Mr. Michnik and his colleagues. Any government which responds to the peaceful dissent of intellectuals through forceful detainment violates international standards of human rights and in so doing alienates itself from individuals and institutions in the world for whom such rights are sacrosanct. We demand that the Polish government adopt a genuine program of liberalization and begin by releasing Mr. Michnik and his colleagues.

Lawrence, its first Nobelist. As Chancellor Berdahl noted at a campus press conference last week announcing its latest laureate, Lawrence’s prize in physics in 1939 was “the first Nobel Prize ever awarded a faculty member of a public university in America, and today we’re celebrating the most recent Nobel Prize awarded to a faculty member of a public university in America.” There have been 18 Nobel winners in all at Berkeley.

Robert Fulford's column about Czeslaw Milosz Globe and Mail , May 15, 1999) A complex writer who enjoys plain statements, Czeslaw Milosz begins his recent book, Road-Side Dog , with the simplest and most traditional of opening phrases: "I went on a journey." He remembers riding in a two-horse wagon across the Lithuanian countryside, long ago. As each new village appeared, the barking of a dog announced the arrival of the wagon. Milosz briefly sketches this nostalgic scene, then mentions offhandedly where the trip is taking us: "That was the beginning of the century; this is its end." Milosz, the 1980 winner of the Nobel Prize, 88 years old next month, has seen more of the 20th century's changes than almost anyone. "I come from a place without automobiles, bathrooms, or telephones," he said in his book Visions from San Francisco Bay . That rural isolation remains part of him: "I am still that same small boy who on his first visit to the big city was alarmed by the sound of water in the toilet"; he thought he had broken it by pulling the chain. Since then, he has lived under the Nazis and the Communists and the capitalists. He has written for underground magazines in wartime Warsaw, and for

I stare and stare. It seems I was called for this: To glorify things just because they are." taken from "Blacksmith Shop," in the collection Provinces, translated by Czeslaw Milosz and Robert Hass Nobel Prize-winning poet Czeslaw Milosz spoke of his life, his poems and his philosophies during a poetry reading held at the Library on April 3. From his work, he read a variety of his translated poems, including those that celebrated the beauty of life, and those that bemoaned the depravity of evil. (Photo by Yusef El-Amin) Mr. Milosz's poetry represents the full life he has lived. Born in Lithuania in 1911, he lived through the Russian Revolution, the rise of the Communist system in the Soviet Union and as a young student saw Hitler come to power in Germany. Following his reading, he was asked about his views of what lies ahead in the next century. He answered that he has witnessed "incredible crimes by the two worst criminals Stalin and Hitler. They are now gone, so I look with some optimism to the next century." After World War II, he came to the United States as a diplomat for the Polish communist government. He defected to the West in 1951, and spent a decade in Paris as a freelance writer. In 1961 he became a lecturer in Polish literature at the University of California at Berkeley, where he later became professor of Slavic languages and literature, a job he still holds.

Czeslaw Milosz N ació en 1911 en Lituania (Szetejnie); poco después de la primera Guerra Mundial se trasladó con su familia a Polonia. En los años treinta se convirtió en el líder indiscutible de la vanguardia poética polaca y durante la segunda Guerra Mundial participó activamente en la resistencia a la ocupación nazi. Después trabajó en la radio nacional y en el servicio diplomático, estando adscrito a la embajada en Washington en la década de los cuarenta. En 1951 se exilia a París, Francia, donde radicó 10 años sobreviviendo como escritor independiente. Una década más tarde, en 1961, viajó a los Estados Unidos para ocupar la cátedra en Lenguas y literaturas eslavas de la Universidad de California en Berkeley. En 1980 recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura. Su poesía representa y predica la belleza del mundo y el horror de sus moradores. Entre sus libros destacan: El poder cambia de manos El valle del Issa Otra Europa Poemas (1984) y El pensamiento cautivo (1985). El poeta define su propia composición como de -conflicto con el mundo que encuentra en la ira y la furia un estímulo poderoso-, para contrarrestar a aquellas -personas que se niegan a recordar y que viven como si nada hubiera ocurrido-.

Czeslaw Milosz Critics from many countries, as well as contemporary poets (like Joseph Brodsky, for instance), approach Milosz's literary output in superlatives. His poetry is rich in visual-symbolic metaphor. The idyllic and the apocalyptic go hand-in-hand. The verse sometimes suggests naked philosophical discourse of religious epiphany. Songs and theological treatises alternate, as in the "child-like rhymes" about the German Occupation of Warsaw in The World: Naive Poems (1943) or Six Lectures in Verse from the volume Chronicles (1987). Milosz transcends genre. As a poet and translator, he moves easily from contemporary American poets to the Bible (portions of which he has rendered anew into Polish). As a novelist, he won renown with The Seizure of Power (1953), about the installation of communism in Poland. Both Milosz and his readers have a particular liking for the semi-autobiographical The Issa Valley (1955), a tale of growing up and the loss of innocence that abounds in philosophical sub-texts. There are also many personal themes in Milosz's essays, as well as in The Captive Mind (1953), a classic of the literature of totalitarianism.

Czeslaw Milosz The life of poet Czeslaw Milosz, with its wanderings, bewildering changes of nationality, and buffeting from the forces of Nazism and Communism, seems to be a microcosm of the history of twentieth century Europe. Campo dei Fiori A Poor Christian Looks at the Ghetto You Who Wronged Sarajevo ... Unde Malum Czeslaw Milosz was born in 1911 in what was then the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, part of Russia. His family was of the Polish-speaking gentry, a class that was politically and economically ruined by the time of Milosz's birth. Milosz's father was a highway engineer for the tsar's army from 1914 to 1918 and the family travelled throughout Russia when Milosz was a child. The chaos of his early wanderings through war-torn Russia, countered by the peace he remembers in the pastoral setting of a Lithuanian river valley, would later become a frequent subject of his poetry and prose. Milosz was a student in the 1920s in Wilno (by then in Poland; today, Vilnius, capital of Lithuania). He began publishing poetry in the 1930s. In 1939, during the first days of the Second World War, he was sent to the front as a radio operator. In January 1940 he returned to Wilno and was caught there when Soviet tanks entered the city. In July he escaped across Soviet lines into Poland, a dangerous journey through both Soviet- and Nazi-occupied territories. This was the last time for over forty years that he would see his native Lithuania.
