Sensitivity of Matter

The essays collected in this book were written over a period of more than a decade. They are arranged chronologically in order to create a complete sequence.

• The essay was inspired by my conversations and debates with Stachura between 1973 and 1977.
• The essays that follow were written in the search of an answer to the eternal question: "Who is man?"

The first essay in the collection, "Sensitivity of Matter", is dedicated to Edward Stachura, an exceptional Polish poet who became a national hero among young people after his suicide in 1979.
