Summary/Abstract: Amerykańskie powojnie Czesława Miłosza [Czesław Miłosz’s American postwar period] is a book based on Ewa Kołodziejczyk’s research in the Yale University library, where she found some texts written by Miłosz during his first stay in the US as a representative of the Polish communist government. Kołodziejczyk splits Miłosz’s activites into diplomatic, popularizing, and literary ones. Her main concept is “the telescopic eye”. It lets her tie all Miłosz’s interests during his stay in the US. Also, such concept emphasizes Miłosz’s rapacious attitude towards the world as a whole. Thanks to that, Kołodziejczyk is able to create a coherent, convincing narration of Miłosz’s short, but crucial episode in the late 40s.
