Ecstatic Pessimist is a timely book about the Central and Eastern
European experience of the mid 20th century, as told through the
poetry and experiences of Czeslaw Milosz, Nobel Laureate for
literature, who wrote on the horrors of war and the human
experience. Written by a colleague and friend of the poet, it is
part literary criticism and part memoir. This biography/memoir of
Czeslaw Milosz is a first hand account of the poet's life and his
relationship to the author, beginning in the 1960s. Milosz was a
Polish-American poet, prose writer, translator, and diplomat.
Regarded as one of the great poets of the 20th century, he won the
1980 Nobel Prize in Literature. In its citation, the Swedish
Academy called Milosz a writer who "voices man's exposed condition
in a world of severe conflicts".
