Over a seven-decade career, he produced an important body of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, including classics such as \u003ci\u003eThe Captive Mind\u003c\/i\u003e, a reflection on the hypnotic power of ideology, and \u003ci\u003eNative Realm\u003c\/i\u003e, a memoir. In \u003cem\u003eOn Czesław Miłosz\u003c\/em\u003e, Eva Hoffman, like Miłosz a Polish-born writer who immigrated to the West, presents an eloquent personal portrait of the life and work of her illustrious fellow exile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMiłosz experienced the horrors of World War II in Warsaw—the very epicentre of the inferno—and witnessed the unfolding of the Holocaust from up close. After the war, he lived as a permanent exile—from Poland, communism, and mainstream American culture. Hoffman explores how exile, historical disasters, and Miłosz's origins in Eastern Europe shaped his vision, and she occasionally compares her own postwar trajectory with Miłosz's to show how the question of 'the Other Europe' is still with us today. She also examines his later turn to the poetry of memory and loss, driven by the need to remember and honour his many friends and others killed in the Holocaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombining incisive personal and critical insights, \u003ci\u003eOn Czesław Miłosz\u003c\/i\u003e captures the essence of the life and work of a great poet and writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383952883948,"sku":"9780691212692","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2114063482434.jpg?v=1773390293"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/eva-hoffman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
