The book “The Roadside Little Dog” by 1980 Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz is marked by the author’s characteristic “search for the most capacious form.” This included essays and poems, the writer’s reflections on his own life and work, memoirs, unique theological mini-treatises, cursory notes, plots of unwritten stories. The text is distinguished by its originality, richness of thought and theme, it combines the insight of an intellectual and the impressionability of a poet.
