《在时间荒原上》内容简介：
波兰的维尔诺，一座将巴洛克建筑移植到北方森林的奇异之城，曾是多元文化、语言与信仰交汇的十字路口，诺贝尔文学奖得主切斯瓦夫·米沃什在这里度过了少年时光。之后数十年间，这座城市历经战火与巨变，昨日世界的一切似乎都被历史的残忍行径所否定了。
在这部跨越三十年的自选集中，米沃什从维尔诺的“街道词典”开始，勾勒出一部非正式的自传。作者游走于文学、神学和哲学的边界，记录他对属于东中欧、俄罗斯，乃至西方世界共同遗产的诸多作家的解读；分享关于诗歌、时间、现实、罪恶、幸福等命题的思考；并以动人的笔触追忆故人往事——生于同一时代的人们建立起牢固的纽带，就像大海漩涡中浮现的岛屿，是20世纪宏大命运的一份证词。
可以将本书作为一部漫游指南，通向与我们的历史经验更为接近的“另一个欧洲”所塑造的文学意识：它对于历史特性有着敏锐的感知，警惕任何禁锢心灵的力量，并试图毫不妥协地说出复杂的真相，为文明走出徒劳的循环往复寻找一剂解药。

In the Wasteland of Time:
Vilno, Poland, a bizarre city of Baroque architecture transplanted into the boreal forest, was once a crossroads of diverse cultures, languages and faiths, where Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz spent his teenage years. In the decades since, the city has endured war and change, and everything in yesterday's world seems to have been denied by the brutality of history.
In this self-selected collection, which spans three decades, Milosz begins with Virno's "Street Dictionary" and Outlines an informal autobiography. Crossing the boundaries of literature, theology, and philosophy, the author records his interpretations of writers belonging to the common heritage of East and Central Europe, Russia, and even the Western world. Sharing thoughts on topics such as poetry, time, reality, sin, and happiness; And he writes movingly about the past -- the bonds forged by people born in the same era, like islands emerging from the whirlpool of the sea, a testimony to the grand destiny of the 20th century.
This book can be seen as a Hitchhiker's guide to a literary consciousness shaped by the "other Europe" that is closer to our historical experience: one that is acutely aware of the nature of history, alert to any forces that imprison the mind, and seeking to speak complex truths without compromise in order to find an antidote to civilization's futile cycles.
