Summary/Abstract: An intimate portrait of Stanisław Barańczak, who unravelled the scroll of man’s existence across the entire width of his shoulders and further. The personal and generational profile is made up of the features of the poet, whose works’ message and topicality grow with time. The life of the author of Jednym tchem grows more conspicuous by approaching assorted stages, starting with his early days as a non-conformist poet and researcher in Poznań, involvement in the democratic opposition, all the way to emigration and illness. Each of these phases is linked with a “Barańczak lesson” deciphered upon the basis of the essential challenges faced by contemporary man.
