Summary/Abstract: The work of Stanisław Barańczak – a poet, translator, essayist, literary critic – has for many years prompted studies, commentaries and interpretations. New editions of his legacy – correspondence with Wisława Szymborska, librettos of Mozart's operas, translations of the poetry of St. John of the Cross – open up a possibility for further research. The book "The Meaning of Life, the Meaning of a Poem. Sketches on the Work of Stanisław Barańczak" deals with unresearched problems of poetic, translation, epistolary and essayistic nature in the writer's oeuvre. In the author's interpretations, the axiological perspective is focal, unveiling the issue of the meaning of both human existence and his own literary work, which are inscribed in Barańczak's texts.
