Bücher von Adam Mickiewicz

The year 2022 has been designated the Year of Romanticism in Poland. An even two hundred years have passed since the first publication of Adam Mickiewicz's Ballads and Romances - a collection of lyrics which has the same significance for Polish literature as Wordsworth and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads has for the English. Poems of love, the supernatural, and the exotic, Mickiewicz's first volume of poetry achieved a level of sublimity that immediately set him at the head of all Polish writers - a position he sustained throughout his life with his lyrical, narrative, dramatic, and epic poetry, and which he continues to hold today. In cooperation with the Polish Cultural Institute of London, Glagoslav brings out an anniversary edition of Mickiewicz's Ballads and Romances in the English translation of Charles S. Kraszewski. The collection includes all the poems of the 1822 edition, plus the ballads added shortly before the poet's death to the 1852, Leipzig edition.This publication is generously supported by the Polish Cultural Institute in London.

Forefathers' Eve [Dziady] is a four-part dramatic work begun circa 1820 and completed in 1832 with Part I published only after the poet's death, in 1860. The dramas title refers to Dziady, an ancient Slavic and Lithuanian feast commemorating the dead. This is the grand work of Polish literature, and it is one that elevates Mickiewicz to a position among the ';great Europeans' such as Dante and Goethe.With its Christian background of the Communion of the Saints, revenant spirits, and the interpenetration of the worlds of time and eternity, Forefathers' Eve speaks to men and women of all times and places. While it is a truly Polish work Polish actors covet the role of Gustaw/Konrad in the same way that Anglophone actors covet that of Hamlet it is one of the most universal works of literature written during the nineteenth century. It has been compared to Goethe's Faust and rightfully so.

It has been put to use in its entirety by the Teatr Polski in WrocA aw, and partially set to music by Arturas Bumteinas in his contemporary orchestral work Different Trains (2014).Translated by Charles S.
