Zbigniew HerbertLabyrinth by the Sea
A Labyrinth by the Sea is a collection of sketches which came into being on Zbigniew Herbert's journey to Greece. This book, together with Barbarian in the Garden and Still Life with a Bridle, forms a trilogy - an extraordinary story of northern and southern art, from ancient times to the present.
Once again, this prose demonstrates the characteristics of Herbert's writing with which we are already familiar from elsewhere: the all-embracing erudition, the clear precision of the lesson he wishes to impart, the linguistic discipline, the lyricism and irony, the empathy and humility, as well as - despite the world's madness, wickedness and the temptations of power - a constant search for harmony and order.
(Janusz Szuber)
