Marcelijus Martinaitis Books

Marcelijus Teodoras Martinaitis stands as one of the most significant Lithuanian poets of the 20th century. His work delves into the collision of an old, archaic rural worldview with the modern world and its subsequent collapse. This profound theme is vividly expressed in his most renowned work, which celebrates enduring rural traditions. Beyond his poetry, Martinaitis was an active participant in the Sąjūdis movement and an academic devoted to Lithuanian literature.
