Presentation of the prose of Vytautas MacernisIn this extraordinary period, it is extremely important to reveal and present to the public a little-known side of Macernis's work - a prose work that is special and unique. Through it, Macernis raises key philosophical and existential questions, invites us to return to fundamental eternal values. Human existence is characterized by constant internal questions and searches for meaning, when there is a lot of uncertainty, loneliness, inner confusion, anxiety, when there is a special longing for sincere, warm communication and deep real things. Macernis speaks and spreads Faith and Hope, Light and Truth (what each of us deep in our hearts longs for) through his works. These works of his prose seem to "bring the rising of the sun" (when we find ourselves in existential darkness), as if reminding us of awareness, of choosing what is most important in life - "But you can not give up and leave a person who never lets the sun out of his eyes and heart.""Human existence is characterized by constant internal questions and searches for meaning, when there is a lot of uncertainty, loneliness, inner confusion, anxiety, when there is a special longing for sincere, warm communication and deep, real things.

"V. Macernis is a creator and philosopher of intellectual poetry that raises existential questions. He is often called the genius of Lithuania. "All his work is permeated with the true and natural breath of a young genius" (A. Nyka-Niliūnas). Having died extremely young (23 years old), V. Macernis managed to leave a creative legacy of immeasurable depth, special maturity and artistic value. The poet wrote that "life is high moments during which a person unfolds in the fullness of the universe. They alone make human life truly valuable. And my greatest desire is to teach everyone to crave those high moments!”V. Mačernis is known as the pioneer of new Lithuanian poetry, one of the most significant poets of his generation. He is described and presented as a unique poet who composed wonderful poems. But very few people know that V. Macernis also wrote... prose! Which is also unique, talking about core philosophical existential matters, inviting us to return to the fundamental eternal values, to the preservation of humanity, no matter what happens.
