"So there is a world like this,
Is its trend under my control and not affected by fate?
Is its time bound by chains of words?
Life will last forever under my command? "
In 1997, one year after Szymborska was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, the two authors of this book, Anna Biconte and Yoanna. Szczesna proposed to Szymborska for the first time that he write a biography for her. Szymborska's response was to politely refuse, just like her seventy-three years of life before winning the award, she had always adhered to the belief not to expose herself too much. As one of Poland's most important contemporary poets, she has been interviewed no more than ten times. However, when she saw that the two authors had interviewed more than a hundred friends and were not only familiar with her poems, but also had read "Unspecified Reading", a book review column she had written for more than 30 years, by heart, she called the two authors and told them Them: "This feels terrible - reading about myself. But now that you two have dug up so much, well, let's make it more 'accurate'."
Therefore, "Szymborska: Poems, Memorable Scraps, Friends and Dreams" became the only personally authorized biography of Szymborska. From Szymborska's family, literary and editorial career, He wrote all the way to the poet's death. The biography records Szymborska's temperate and elegant side. For example, Szymborska used a notebook all her life, waiting for the completion of a poem for as short as two or three years or as long as half a century. In addition, it also describes the unknown side of Szymborska. Known for her universal poetry themes, she was also a loyal supporter of the Polish Communist Party (and although she has since publicly reflected on it, she has never denied it. This experience); she loves playing word games with her friends, visiting archaeological museums, and has the habit of making and collecting tacky postcards to send to friends; she highly praises Vermeer's paintings and deeply loves Montaigne and Samuel. ‧Pipps' diary; she considered spider mites the most beautiful of creatures and eagerly read the index, notes, citations and bibliography...
As one of the few writers who lives up to his words, this biography provides a glimpse into the birth and transformation of a poem from all aspects of the poet's life. It also reflects Szymborska's lifelong attention to detail, humor, and worldview that promotes skepticism. Szymborska's death closed a chapter in Polish literature. As we read this engaging biography, filled with short stories and poems, as well as descriptions of travels and friendships, we can once again taste the atmosphere of Szymborska's time and witness one of the most famous poets of our time. How to transform from a communist girl full of ideals to an eternal opponent also reflects Poland's changeable history and changes in the times.
