Zbigniew Herbert was one of the best-known and most-translated poets of post-war Poland, opposed alike to communism, fascism, nationalism and the Church, yet moved, throughout his work, by 'a powerful sense of right and wrong without a corresponding belief in a system' (New York Times). His is a poetry of compression, lucidity and profound humanity. The universe he conjures is deeply informed not only by his own time, but by history - by that of the medieval Mediterranean and Central Europe, as much as of the classical world - and by a taste for historical and philosophical paradox.
