Nobody's Ezekiel
ISBN: 9781937679545 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. "Christopher Middleton's rare genius for exact observation and metaphysical wit has given us for over half a century now poems of such brilliant craftsmanship and exacting sensibility that a few critics only have dared to assess their magic. He is an incomparable stylist, a wry ironist, a philosopher of words. The only category in which he fits justly is that of poet."
--Guy Davenport "A magnificent collection . . . from syntactical organization and vocabulary to the span of his intellectual sympathies his voice is unique." -The Guardian (of Collected Later Poems) "Christopher Middleton's rare genius for exact observation and metaphysical wit has given us for over half a century now poems of such brilliant craft...

Collected Later Poems
ISBN: 9781847771520 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 439 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. August Kleinzahler says, 'Christopher Middleton is, and remains, a shocking man. One hardly knows where to begin - ' There are few risks Middleton will not take in his poems. For six decades and more he has uncovered new dimensions in language. The last decade has been one of continuous discovery and extension. His English is an open medium, responding to Arabic, German, Spanish, French and other media. And English is eloquent in its nonsense as much as in its sense. His poems do not linger in the dank alleyways of self: he is always a maker and a shaper, of things that become durable...

"Christopher Middleton's rare genius for exact observation and metaphysical wit has given us for over half a century now poems of such brilliant craftsmanship and exacting sensibility that a few critics only have dared to assess their magic.

The Quest for Christa T.
ISBN: 9780374515348 / Angielski / Miękka / 1979 / 185 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When The Quest for Christa T. was first published in East Germany ten years ago, there was an immediate storm: bookshops in East Berlin were given instructions to sell it only to well-known customers professionally involved in literary matters; at the annual meeting of East German Writers Conference, Mrs Wolf's new book was condemmed. Yet the novel has nothing eplicity to do with politics.

Six blind beggars in 16th century Flanders--a ragged, profane, and irascible crew--find themselves waking to yet another grim day in the dark. Today, however, something is different.

Loose Cannons : Selected Prose
ISBN: 9780826355195 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. "These thirty-three prose inventions of Christopher Middleton constitute the fourth pillar of an extraordinary literary oeuvre, the other three being his poetry, translations, and literary essays. Whatever one chooses to call these often astonishing miniatures, they are certainly Middleton's wildest, most accessible, and most entertaining work, and they count as some of his very finest writing."-- August Kleinzahler, Foreword These uncategorizable writings by a distinguished poet and translator are lively, erudite, and creative. Like his poetry, Middleton's prose pieces are alive with...

Speaking to the Rose : Writings, 1912-1932
ISBN: 9780803298330 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Swiss writer of whom Hermann Hesse famously declared, If he had a hundred thousand readers, the world would be a better place, Robert Walser (1878 1956) is only now finding an audience among English-speaking readers commensurate with his merits if not with his self-image. After a wandering, precarious life during which he produced poems, essays, stories, and novels, Walser entered an insane asylum, saying, I am not here to write, but to be mad. Many of the unpublished works he left were in fact written in an idiosyncratically abbreviated script that was for years dismissed as an...

Palavers, and a Nocturnal Journal
ISBN: 9780907562511 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Christopher Middleton, long a resident of the USA, is one of Britain's finest poets. He was writing (not for publication) his 'Nocturnal Journal' during the two years prior to his retirement from the University of Texas at Austin, where he had taught German and Comparative Literature since 1966.
