A new edition of Sylvia Plath's Pulitzer Prize-winning Collected Poems, edited and with an introduction by Ted Hughes

Die Amerikanerin Sylvia Plath (1932 - 1963), die beste, aufregendste und mageblich rcksichtsloseste Dichterin ihrer Generation (John Updike), hat mit ihrem einzigen Roman, der im Jahr ihres Selbstmordes erschien, ein Jahrhundertbuch geschrieben, das auch heute nichts von seiner beklemmenden Faszination verloren hat.

Sylvia Plath's strange, dark tale of independence over infanticide, written not long after she herself home, grapples withmortality in motion.
