Opis

This book scrutinizes Norwid's fascination with Greek history and culture, especially his peculiar synthesis of Greek thought and Christianity, the relationship of Platonism with early Christian writings and their presence in modern culture, the opposition of memory and history, and the image of the artist and its influence in 19th-c. social life.
