The author was the Nobel Prize in 1980. In this book he dissects the political form of totalitarianism, which tries to substitute for individual life. According to Veja, the book belongs to strain 1984, George Orwell, and The Zero and Infinity by Arthur Koestler. But, unlike these, is a work of nonfiction. Milosz And, unlike the other two authors, even lived under a totalitarian system - the communist Poland. Considered by many the best modern Polish poet, Milosz, in his 93 years of life (he died in 2004), witnessed the horrors of the last century. Born in territory that now belongs to Lithuania, began writing at the time of national rebirth of Poland. It was the German invasion of his country in 1939 that led to his poetry to ripen.
