Summary/Abstract: A new volume of studies on Czesław Miłosz and his oeuvre, edited by Tomasz Bilczewski, Luigi Marinelli and Monika Woźniak,contains a collection of articles written by worldwide renown scholars and translators of Miłosz’s writings. The collection may be considered as a multivocal revision of the contemporary status of the image of the poet’s world. What appears to be the underlying principle of these various approaches to Milosz, is the general focus on his panoramic view of different continents and time perspectives. It is the tension between ‘home’ and ‘homelesness’, the state of being always ‘here’ and (at the same time) ‘there’, that makes the passage from a modern to a postmodern condition of humanity, the passage reflected upon in many of the articles collected in this international volume.
