This discussion of why the Polish poet and Nobel Prize winner Czesław Miłosz (1911–2004) translated the Book of Job distinguishes two meanings of translation in reference to the poet’s work: fi rst as a process, which relates to Miłosz’s life and personal experience, and second as an outcome, which relates to his poetry. The investigation of this problem makes use of some work by Father Joseph Sadzik as well as of Clive Scott’s concept of rediscovery of reading. The article contributes to an understanding of how Miłosz reconciled the roles of poet and translator, of humble servant and rebellious yet fragile human being, of innocent yet disturbing witness. The author argues that the translation of the Book of Job, as a process and as an outcome, reveals the complexity of Miłosz’s craft and its effectiveness in defi ning the scope of the translator’s duties, of which the most important is to come alongside Job and learn how he coped with his experience of being an innocent victim.

Close Relationship

The focus of the present article is on Czesław Miłosz poetry in which the Nobel Prize winner returns to his childhood places and people who played a significant role in the formation of his personality and identity. The poet links specific sides of his personality with his birthplace, Szetejnie on the River Nevezis, located “in the heart of Lithuania”. In his poetry, Miłosz devotes special attention to his mother, Weronika, from the Kunat family, and pays less attention to his father. He also remembers his grandfather Zygmunt Kunat, his wife Janina and other distant relatives. Miłosz creates the image of home and family through detailed poetic descriptions evoking at times episodes of a close relationship with his family members. Thus, the poet intends to express his appreciation for places that he is part of and gratitude to those who contributed to his existence in time, his formation and journey to eternity.

“I usually treat myself either too flatteringly or mix myself with the mud” – self-presentation strategies used by Czesław Miłosz in his letters to Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz Summary The article concerns the self-presentation strategies with which Czesław Miłosz built his image in his letters to Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz. The tools of communicative psychology, sociology and pragmalinguistics were used for the analyses. The epistolographic material shows that Miłosz willingly used ingratiation, thanks to which he gained the favour of Iwaszkiewicz and his patronage. He juxtaposed compliments to the master with auto-invectives, he intertwined acts of self-depreciation with the images of narcissistic self-love. As a result, the correspondence shows a contradictory image of the future Nobel Prize winner, a self-portrait that evolves with age and experience. Fascinated by Iwaszkiewicz, full of complexes and selflessness, a novice writer, a sensitive and emotionally immature young man with narcissistic inclinations on the pages of his letters turns into a writer and faithful friend who is aware of his talent.

Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel Prize winner for literature, is the first excellent Indian author whose creative efforts-poetry, prose, drama-present a superb Triveni of, mysticism, humanism and philosophy. His significant dance play Chandalika reveals the theme of marginal(Dalit) voice and role of Buddhism in the play. The play displays a chandal girl's realization that she's a human being like any other and it's wrong for her to believe under the notice of people from the upper castes. This play is about awakening a feeling of her identity in a Chandal-woman, and its awakened realization that she was born as a chandal-woman does not imply she is a non-entity. Prakriti finds that she is as human as anyone else, and that she has the right to give water to anyone high or low who requests that. Chandal girl in this play realizes that she isn't just someone with a personal identity but also causes her to love a Buddhist monk who is accountable for this new awakening.

Our boss, the Nobel Prize winner Dr. Albert Szent Gyorgyi, believed in working hard and playing hard. He expected dedication and esprit de corps to come from the intermingling of work and special moments of relaxation. Our respect and dedication to him and his philosophy was never more evident than on April Fool's Day.The Institute consisted of 12 to 13 scientists, each working on some aspect of muscle structure or function. Its location in Woods Hole, MA, at the tip of Cape Cod was ideal. Dr. Szeni Gyorgyi had gazed out the window of my laboratory on my first day saying, “if I ever walk in and see you staring out the window at the sailboats and fishing vessels I will know you are just recharging your battery.” His warm friendly approach, the seashore and the visiting scientists from all over the world made me feel that this was as close to heaven as I would ever get.

Czeslaw Milosz

Henryk Sienkiewicz (1864–1916), one of the most notable novelist of Positivism epoch, the first Polish laureate of the Nobel Prize (1905), is associated with Lithuania. One of the proof to certificate this connection is his nickname „Litwos”. Another evidence is the fact of his marriage with „Lithuanian girl” Maria Szetkiewicz from Hanuszyszki (Trakai district). Not only literature researches, but also readers can remember the image of “Lauda”, so reliably represented by Sienkiewicz in his novels “Potop” (the Flood) or “Dzwonnik” (the Bellringer). Julian Krzyzanowski in the ‘50s of 20th century, in his work Henryk Sienkiewicz. Kalendarz życia i twórczości (Henryk Sienkiewicz. The callendar of his life and his output”) wrote about Sienkiewicz, and his relations with Lithuania. Only later, in ’90 of 20th c., were published other works about this author, for example, Związki Sienkiewicza z Wilnem i Wileńszczyzną (1994) (Sienkiewicz connections with Vilnius, and Vilnius region) by Maria Bokszczanin, and Sienkiewicz (1999) by Tadeusz Żabski. Famous Polish writer and also Nobel Prize winner Czeslaw Miłosz mentioned Sienkiewicz in his poetic papers and esseys. Unfortunatelly this theme was not discussed propely, and only after 100 years of novelist death, in 21st century, some facts were discovered. The latest studies by Tadeusz Bujnicki and Andrzej Rataj give a chance to rediscover and expose some new details, and once again show Sienkiewicz relations with Lithuania.
