Rescue by Czeslaw Milosz is a part of the collection of 90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books.

This volume brings together two of Milosz's most celebrated works. Rescue, penned in Warsaw during the Nazi occupation, stands alongside A Treatise on Poetry, a monumental history of Poland told through four cantos.

These works represent the keen insights of one of the greatest poets of the 20th century, the Nobel Laureate who eloquently narrates the rise and fall of nations. In his writing, he 'voices man's exposed condition in a world of severe conflicts'.

About the Author

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.
