[MICKIEWICZ Adam] "Adomo Mickevičiaus Poezija. Pirmas tomas / Poezye Adama Mickiewicza. Volume one"
Illustrations by Stasys Eidrigevičius. STASYS AUTOGRAPH
In 2022 we celebrated the jubilee of Polish and Lithuanian Romanticism. Its beginning is considered to be the publication of the first volume of "Poezyj" by Adam Mickiewicz. In 1822, this book was published by the printing house of Jozef Zawadzki, operating at Vilnius University. On the occasion of the anniversary, exactly 200 years later, the Vilnius University Museum reissued the edition: "Adomo Mickevičiaus Poezija. Pirmas tomas / Poezye Adama Mickiewicza. Volume One."
This is a solid source publication prepared in Lithuanian and Polish, containing original texts by Adam Mickiewicz and their new translations into Lithuanian. We also have here critical texts by literary scholars and editors on the history of Mickiewicz's first book and the history of translations of the works contained therein into Lithuanian. Equally important are the illustrations decorating the edition by the famous artist Stasys Eidrigevičius.
The publication of the book was financed by: Council for Culture of Lithuania, the Foundation Aid to Poles in the East, the Minister of Culture and National Heritage with funds from the Fund for Promotion of Culture - a state purpose fund, and the Polish Institute in Vilnius.
