Andrzej Franaszek’s award-winning biography of Czeslaw Milosz—the great Polish poet and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1980—offers a rich portrait of the writer and his troubled century, providing context for a larger appreciation of his work. This English-language edition, translated by Aleksandra Parker and Michael Parker, contains a new introduction by the translators, along with historical explanations, maps, and a chronology. Franaszek recounts the poet’s personal odyssey through the events that convulsed twentieth-century Europe: World War I, the Bolshevik revolution, the Nazi invasion and occupation of Poland, and the Soviet Union’s postwar dominance of Eastern Europe. He follows the footsteps of a perpetual outsider who spent much of his unsettled life in Lithuania, Poland, and France, where he sought political asylum. From 1960 to 1999, Milosz lived in the United States before returning to Poland, where he died in 2004. Franaszek traces Milosz’s changing, constantly questioning, often skeptical attitude toward organized religion. In the long term, he concluded that faith performed a positive role, not least as an antidote to the amoral, soulless materialism that afflicts contemporary civilization. Despite years of hardship, alienation, and neglect, Milosz retained a belief in the transformative power of poetry, particularly its capacity to serve as a source of moral resistance and a reservoir of collective hope. Seamus Heaney once said that Milosz’s poetry is irradiated by wisdom. Milosz reveals how that wisdom was tempered by experience even as the poet retained a childlike wonder in a misbegotten world.

Public Health

The Social and Ecological Dimension

In Poland, for almost three decades, education in the field of public health has been provided in medical universities with the aim of creating an expert workforce to ensure appropriate action in this area. The book draws on the experience and knowledge of teachers associated with the School of Public Health of the Jagiellonian University – undoubtedly a leading institution in the country in this area – but experts from other centres also were invited in order to provide content of an appropriately high quality. (...) The textbook on public health, edited by professor Stanisława Golinowska, is highly recommended not only to medical university students, but also to all persons involved in health protection activities in Poland. For all interested in public health, this is must-read. Prof. Zbigniew Gaciong, MD, Medical University of Warsaw This textbook perfectly addresses the health challenges of the contemporary stage of civilization development in which public health is becoming an extremely complex and at the same time, dynamically evolving field. The scope of the textbook is clearly defined and its division into chapters and within them, into sections dedicated to specific issues, facilitates the search for the required content. The textbook also provides a wholesome understanding of public health, which covers the theoretical foundations, an overview of problems and challenges, as well as a description of the tools used both in research and in public policy at multiple levels: global, European, national and local. Prof. Andrzej M. Fal, Wrocław Medical University, President of the Polish Society of Public Health

Gwiazda Piołun

By: Andrzej Franaszek

Andrzej Franaszek zaprasza nas do zwiedzania cudownego ogrodu polskiej kultury. Jest nie tylko przewodnikiem, ale i ogrodnikiem, rekonstruuje świat, który niesłusznie bywa dziś spychany do elitarnych kwartalników. Jego bohaterami są giganci naszego dziedzictwa, giganci polskości: Miłosz i Czapski, Herbert i Różewicz, Gombrowicz i Iwaszkiewicz. Ich monumenty Franaszek oczyszcza z popiołów zapomnienia, dzięki niemu mówią do nas i o nas, jak niegdyś ich wielcy przodkowie: Mickiewicz i Słowacki, Chopin i Norwid. Wszystkie te rozmowy toczyły się w świecie „historii spuszczonej z łańcucha”, ale przecież Franaszek – co widać w jego esejach – sam tworzy w epoce historii trzymanej na krótkiej smyczy i w kagańcu. Dotyka przy tym spraw najbardziej istotnych: religii i historii, piękna i rozpaczy, miłości i śmierci, Boga, honoru i ojczyzny, pasji i gniewu. Tę książkę czyta się ze skurczonym gardłem i z nieprzerwaną fascynacją. Adam Michnik Eseje Andrzeja Franaszka przywracają wiarę w to, że o literaturze można mówić w sposób wyważony, mądry i subtelny, a zarazem bardzo osobisty. Pisząc o najważniejszych dla niego twórcach, Franaszek udowadnia gruntowną znajomość ich dzieł, epoki oraz kultury stanowiącej kontekst ich twórczości, ale także własną wrażliwość. Wykazując dociekliwość i empatię, potrafi stworzyć psychologiczne portrety omawianych pisarzy, obserwować i rozumieć ich lęki i marzenia. Pisarstwo to, imponujące umiejętnością wykorzystania źródeł, nie ma nic wspólnego z akademickim hermetyzmem. Samo w sobie jest dziełem sztuki. Jerzy Illg Andrzej Franaszek (1971) – historyk literatury, wykładowca Uniwersytetu Pedagogicznego w Krakowie. Opublikował biografie Czesława Miłosza i Zbigniewa Herberta oraz książki eseistyczne Ciemne źródło i Przepustka z piekła. Otrzymał m.in. Nagrodę Fundacji im. Kościelskich, Nagrodę Nike Czytelników „Gazety Wyborczej” oraz Nagrodę Miasta Krakowa. Od kilku lat pracuje nad monografią życia i twórczości Józefa Czapskiego.
