Abstract

The purpose of the article is to present an unexplored area in the work of Henryk Bereska, an outstanding translator of Polish literature into German. The collection of children’s poems by Bereska, found in the Karl Dedecius Archive, was created exclusively for his own daughter. The article is divided into two parts. The first part illuminates the previously unknown context of Bereska’s work, while the second one features two poems selected and reprinted with the permission of his heirs, along with a commentary on their aesthetic qualities and their potential for literary initiations.
