In our literary feature this week: Cyprian Kamil Norwid, an outstanding poet of the 19th century.

Cyprian Kamil Norwid was born over 180 years ago. He was one of the most fascinating personalities on the Polish 19th century literary scene and yet, strange as it may seem, it is only comparatively recently, he has only become widely appreciated in Poland over the last 50 years or so.

In his day he was so ahead of his time, so original in his poetic vision, that he remained incomprehensible and strange to many.

But now Cyprian Norwid has taken on a new significance.

We now invited you to listen to this special feature on his life and work.
