Sinossi
Proud to be a Mammal (1942-97) è la toccante e diversificata raccolta di saggi di Czeslaw Milosz. Tra questi, parla della sua passione per la poesia, del suo amore per la lingua polacca che è stata quasi spazzata via dalla violenza del ventesimo secolo e della sua infanzia felice. Milosz include anche una lettera al suo amico in cui esprime la sua preoccupazione per la crescente indifferenza verso l'omicidio e il vero valore della libertà di pensiero, così come una mappa verbale di Wilno, con ogni strada che rivela sia una ricca storia locale sia intricati e toccanti ricordi personali.

Informazioni sull?autore
Czeslaw Milosz (1911-2004) won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1980. Born in Lithuania while it was still part of the Russian Empire, he lived much of his life in Poland or exiled in California. He was the author of one of the definitive books on totalitarianism, The Captive Mind, but also wrote with extraordinary vividness and moral authority on his childhood, his experiences under Nazism and on the tragedy of Central Europe.
