Antoni Lange (1863-1929) is a Polish writer of the Symbolism movement, known as a master of reflective poetry[1] and a real and not frequently European mind[2]. Many people call Lange a magican of lyrical form because of his mastery in using rare poetic forms and innovations[3]. He is also regarded as belonging to the Parnassianism and Decadent movement. Today he is famous for his novel Miranda.
Lange was also famous polyglot (15 languages) and translator. He translated English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Greek, Serbian, Indian, Egyptian, Japanese, Chinese, Sanskrit and ancient Oriental poets into Polish.
Lange was interested in psychology, buddhism and historiosophy. He was also one of the first spiritualists in Poland[4].
