No one else contemporary could give Europe such a history of Lithuania!
It is a summa of Venclova’s thoughts, based on his incredible erudition, knowledge, self-awareness, thorough research, numerous conversations, and countless readings. It is also based on something more, something one could describe as some historical sense, which also possessed his friend, Czesław Miłosz. Both could listen to its rhythm – sometimes kind to people, other times menacing.
Tomas Venclova expertly knows and understands his compatriot. Although he sometimes disagrees with them, he can empathize with those who happened to share history with others – Poles, Jews, Belarussians, Tatars, Russians, Germans, and other closer or further neighbors.
It is a translation of the edition prepared by Venclova himself for the Polish edition, based upon his two-tome history of Lithuania, published in Vilnius in 2019-2021.
