Issue 1.
The first postwar and fourth poetry volume by Czeslaw Milosz. Contains poems written in 1932-1939 (previously printed in magazines and earlier volumes) and new works written during the war. "The volume was considered the most accurate poetic record of the experience of an entire nation in the era of wartime cataclysm [...]. `Rescue' was received as a tribute to occupied and insurgent Warsaw, the tragic struggles of the ghetto, the heroism of the fighters and the fallen."
