Czeladnik i mistrz. Czesława Miłosza spotkania z Oskarem Władysławem Miłoszem
A Journeyman and a Master. (Czesław Miłosz's Encounters with Oskar Władysław Miłosz)

Summary/Abstract: The theme of the article is multi-facted description of Czesław Miłosz's long lasting fascination by the person and deeds of his distant relative Oskar de Lubicz Miłosz. The two poets met for the first time in Paris in 1931. Ever since then Miłosz being impressed by poetic and dramatical works of his uncle, attempted to popularize them among the readers in Poland and abroad. He wrote essays about him and translated his French poems into English and Polish. The crowning of this process was a poem Czeladnik (A Journeyman) (from a volume Druga przestrzeń, 2004) and a poem Dobroć (Goodness) – according to Agnieszka Kosińska the very last poem completed by Miłosz before his death.
