This is the catalogue of the international exhibition "Lithuania, My Homeland... Adomas Mickiewicz and his poem Ponas Tadas". The exhibition, organised in cooperation between Lithuanian and Polish memory institutions, and its catalogue, dedicated to the centenary of the restoration of Lithuanian and Polish statehood (1918-2018), encourages reflection on the notions of statehood, identity, origin and common heritage. The exhibition and the catalogue present a manuscript of the epic poem Ponas Tadas by Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855), which has never been exhibited in Lithuania before and which is familiar to Lithuanians only from textbooks. This literary masterpiece is the most striking example of the end of the Republic of the Two Nations and the struggle for the restoration of statehood, a testimony to the historical and cultural communion of the nations that made up the Republic - Lithuanians, Poles, Poles, Belarusians, Ukrainians and Jews.
All catalogue texts (articles and catalogue descriptions) are published in three languages: Lithuanian, Polish and English.
