The intellectual confession and pinnacle of essay writing by Czesław Miłosz (1911–2004). The theme of "The Land of Ulro" is the crisis of imagination in modern humanity and civilization.

In search of a way out of this crisis, Miłosz turns to the works of thinkers, poets, and mystics such as Swedenborg, William Blake, Goethe, Mickiewicz, Dostoevsky, Gombrowicz, Simone Weil, and Oscar Miłosz.
