Summary/Abstract: In the criticism and studies of Czesław Miłosz’s work, the cycles “The world (naive poem)” and “Voices of the poor people”, from the book Rescue (1945) occupy a place of enormous importance because it opens two lines of the postwar Polish poetry, initiates the so-called polyphony of the Polish author and establishes links with other literary traditions, especially the Anglo-Saxon and T. S. Eliot’s poemThe Waste Land. But these elements should not necessarily always be kept in a translation, rather they can lead to other reminiscences. In the article, we study this fenomen based on the theories of Antoine Berman and focused in the first published translation of the Polish author’s poems in Spanish.
