About this listen

 I had accepted an invitation to deliver three lectures in French in the town-hall of Warsaw. This captivating journey begins with the renowned Danish literary critic as he embarks on multiple travels to what was once Russian Poland. Over more than a decade, he immerses himself in the rich tapestry of Polish life across its three regions, offering readers a vivid portrayal of the language, theater, daily existence, and significant legal matters that shape the lives of the Polish people. In the second half, the author shares his insights on notable literary works, focusing particularly on the celebrated Romantic poets Adam Mickiewicz, Juliusz Słowacki, and Zygmunt Krasiński. Join us on this enlightening exploration of Polands cultural and literary heritage. (Summary by Piotr Nater)Copyright Early Modern
