The Nobel Pize in Literature in 1980
"who with uncompromising clear-sightedness voices man's exposed condition in a world of severe conflicts" From wikipedia
Czeslaw Milosz was born on June 30, 1911 in Lithuania village of %u0160eteniai, which was then part of the Russian Empire as a result of the 18th-century Partitioned Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. He was a son of Aleksander Milosz, a civil engineer, and Weronika, née Kunat. His brother, Andrzej Milosz (1917-2002), a Polish journalist, translator of literature and of film subtitles into Polish, was a documentary-film producer who created some Polish documentaries about his famous brother.
Milosz emphasized his identity with the multi-ethnic Grand Duchy of Lithuania, a stance that led to ongoing controversies; he refused to categorically identify himself as either a Pole or a Lithuanian. He once said of himself: "I am a Lithuanian to whom it was not given to be a Lithuanian." Milosz was fluent in Polish, Lithuanian, Russian, English and French.
