[CzeslawMilosz ]. Handwritten letter from Czeslaw Milosz to Zdzislaw Najder, dated. 7 IV 1967 in Saint Paul de Vence, Provence.
Two-sided letter on ark. 21.4x17.4 cm. On the first page in the upper corner the sender's address in France. The addressee is addressed "Dear Najders". He writes: ""After the Parisian glories [...] this is a good place. Perhaps one will come to some kind of balance here [...] here is better and cheaper - for $100 a month. Nice completely furnished apartment in the countryside [...] - our landladies nice couple of lesbians". He enjoys the neighborhood: ". A few kilometers from here, in Vence, lives Gombrowicz, so numerous conversations." And further: "As you can see, I'm taking a trip through Polish literature, it would be appropriate to visit Mrożek and it would be almost complete." Of great importance is the next sentence: "in Paris I was so puffed up about my homeland that I was breathless, and it will be enough for me for a long time." The letter ends with the greeting "I hug you + daughter". Traces of folding, very good condition.
