The same goes for Cyprian Norwid, one of the most eminent poets in the history of Polish literature, a thinker, and an artist. This book scrutinizes Norwid’s fascination with Greek history and culture, especially his peculiar synthesis of Greek thought and Christianity. It focuses on the key themes of the relationship of Platonism with early Christian writings and their presence in Norwid’s contemporary culture, the opposition of memory and history in 19th-c. literature and social life, and the image of the artist and its influence on social life in modern everyday. The book analyzes Norwid’s \u003ci\u003eoeuvre \u003c\/i\u003ein a broad comparison with representatives of French, German, and British literature and the humanities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNorwid and History – Hellenism and History – Myth of the Greek-Slavic Unity in the Works of Adam Mickiewicz – Anecdotes, Notes, and Parallels: Norwid’s Views on Greek History – Norwid’s Christian Platonism: About \u003ci\u003eQuidam –\u003c\/i\u003e Greeks in Alexandria: Memory and History in \u003ci\u003eKleopatra i Cezar –\u003c\/i\u003e Athens and Sparta in Norwid’s \u003ci\u003eTyrtej \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044502733143,"sku":"9783631830772","price":49.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631830772.jpg?v=1750961831","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/cyprian-norwid-and-the-history-of-greece-9783631830772","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
