시인 교황 요한 바오로 2세의 작품세계 연구

A Study of Pope John Paul II's poet : focused on his recent work 『Roman Triptych』

문학도를 꿈꾸며 명문 야기엘론스키 대학교 폴란드어문학부를 졸업했고 정식으로 등단하여 두 권의 시집까지 출판했던 카롤 보이티와(Karol Wojtyła)는1978년이탈리아출신이아닌교황으로는네덜란드하드리아노 6세이후456년만에처음으로, 그리고슬라브인으로서는최초로교황의자리에올랐다. 이후교황요한 바오로2세는회칙과메시지, 담화문, 잠언, 설교문, 명상록 등의 집필과 출간에 힘써 왔다. 젊은 시절 그토록 염원했던 시인의 꿈은 고이 접어두고, 성직자로서의 본연의 임무에 충실하기 위해 작가카롤보이티와가아니라교황으로서독자들에게다가갔던것이다. 교황이 된이후 집필한 글을 책으로 따져보면 그 분량이 약 150권에 달한다고 한다. 그런 그가 25년 만에 첫 시집 『로마에서 온 세 폭의 성화』를 냈다. 물론 기존에 발표했던 시와 희곡들이 여러 언어로 번역・출판된 적은 있으나 새롭게시를 써서 작품집을 출간한 것은 교황이 된후처음 있는일이다. 교황요한 바오로 2세로서 집필한 최초의 시라는 점에서 이 작품은 전 세계의 뜨거운관심과주목을받고있다. 본논문은최근작『로마에서온세폭의성화』를 중심으로 그 동안 ‘교황’이라는 이유로 평가가 제대로 이루어지지 않았던 시인 카롤 보이티와의 작품 세계에 대해서 진지하게 고찰해보고자 한다.

Karol Wojtyla, Polish, wanted to be a poet in his youth. He studied polish literature in Jagiellonian University. After that he went on the platform formally and published two collections of poems and several pieces of plays. In 1978, he was appointed as the Pope for the first time as a Slavs and after 465 years Hollander St. Hadrianus Ⅵ, non-Italian Pope, was appointed. After that, Pope John Paul Ⅱ put much effort into publishing encyclical. message, conversation, aphorism, preaching statement, meditation and etc. Giving up the his desperate dream of being a poet as a youth, he approached to the readers as the Pope not the writer. When counting the writings he has completed after being appointed as the Pope, the amount of it comes up to about 150 volumes of books. He, now, has published his first collection of poems, 『Roman Triptych 』, for the first time in 25 years. This collection of poems, simultaneously published in Italy and Poland, recorded sales over 300,000 copies in Poland alone and is being the talk of the world. Of course, poems and plays we previously wrote has been translated and published into various languages but this is the first time for him to publish the collection of poems with new poems after he was appointed as the Pope. In that this is the first poem he wrote as the Pope John Paul Ⅱ, it is getting huge interest and attention all around the world. In this research, I will sincerely look over the studies in work of poet Karol Wojtyła who has not been evaluated roperly just because he was the Pope, giving emphasis on the piece of work titled 『Roman Triptych』. 『Roman Triptych』 contains three poems by Pope John Paul II, the first ones written and published during his pontificate. The Holy Father chooses three stunningly powerful images from nature, art, and Scripture as the framework for this 『Roman Triptych』, a mountain stream, the Sistine Chapel, and the story of Abraham and Isaac. Throughout the trio of poems, he reflects on God as the origin and end point of human life and all creation. He also ponders the beginning and end of his own reign as pope.
