title: A Bookkeeper’s Honesty in Describing the World: On the Great Metaphor of Zbigniew Herbert, Recipient of a Master’s Degree in Economics
abstract: In Herbert's essays and poems we find not only a wide range of economic problems, but also a real passion with which the author describes the economic fundaments of all civilizations. In the apocrypha The Portrait in Black Flames and poem "Hakeldama," Herbert creates a great metaphor of the Final Judgment as the Great Book of accounts.
