Summary/Abstract: The article aims to offer an analysis of Zbigniew Herbert’s eschatological poems. The author divides them up into two distinct groups: the first cluster of poems consists of eschatological poems in the narrow sense of the term. These poems grapple with the mystery of death and life beyond the grave; they also conjure up poetic visions of the hereafter. The other group comprises poems that merely employ eschatological categories and images to engage with earthly problems.
