Lithuanian literature

Lithuanian literature reflects the country’s rich cultural history, combining pagan traditions, Christian influences, and modern themes. It features a deep connection to nature, mythology, and national identity, often expressed through poetry, folk tales, and epic poems like “The Seasons” and “The Wolf’s Bride.” Influenced by historical struggles for independence and survival, Lithuanian writers explore themes of resilience, homeland, and spirituality. Notable authors include Adam Mickiewicz and Maironis. Today, Lithuanian literature continues to blend traditional motifs with contemporary perspectives, maintaining its distinct voice within Baltic and European literary contexts.
