KOCHANOWSKI, JAN. Laments. Translated by Stanislaw Baranczak and Seamus Heaney. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1995, stated First Edition, xx, 59pp., . Polish and English on facing pages. - Jan Kochanowski is one of the great Polish poets of the sixteenth century. Because of its intimate and domestic nature, this poignant series of poems on the death of Kochanowski's young daughter was a radical and rebellious departure from the literary conventions of his day. But it is this same intimacy that now gives Laments a startling potency and realism for contemporary readers. The poems express a candid grief, a profound angst, and an undeniably modern sense of humiliation and religious doubt. 9780374182908 ISBN 0374182906. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 92549
