The Nobel laureate's unfinished science fiction novel-available in
English for the first time ever Awarded the Nobel Prize in
literature in 1980, Czeslaw Milosz was one of the twentieth
century's most esteemed poets and essayists. This outstanding
translation of his only hitherto unavailable work is classic Milosz
and a necessary companion volume for scholars and general readers
seeking a deeper understanding of his themes. Written in the 1970s
and published posthumously in Polish in 2012, Milosz's deliberately
unfinished novel is set in a dystopian future where hierarchy,
patriarchy, and religion no longer exist. Echoing the structure of
The Captive Mind and written in an experimental, postmodern style,
Milosz's sole work of science fiction follows four individuals:
Karel, a disaffected young rebel; Lino, an astronaut who abandons
his life of privilege; Petro, a cardinal racked with doubt; and
Ephraim, a potential prophet in exile.
