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. 410 0$aMargellos world republic of letters book. 606 $aAstronauts$vFiction 606 $aProphets$vFiction 606 $aDystopias in literature 615 0$aAstronauts 615 0$aProphets 615 00$aDystopias in literature. 676 $a891.8/5373 700 $aMi?osz$b Czes?aw$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0550757 701 $aBill$b Stanley$01244343 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157410103321 996 $aThe Mountains of Parnassus$94397795 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02127oam 2200613M 450 001 9910716392603321 005 20260430110431.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002520205 035 $a(OCoLC)1065857464 035 $a(OCoLC)995470000002520205 035 $a(DGPO)001154126 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002520205 100 $a20071213d1926 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aDavis Construction Co.
