His Duino Elegies is considered on of the greatest long poems of the twentieth century. Yet translations from his native German have always presented challenges: the elusiveness of Rilke's imagery, the playful way he both distorts and subverts his own language, and the depth and complexity of his poetry make it difficult for translators to preserve the beauty and meaning of the original text. In his stunning bilingual selection that includes the entire Duino Elegies as well as a number of... German poet Rainer Maria Rilke(1875-1926) enjoys ever-increasing popularity.

The first part of this collection presents Dario's most significant poems in a bilingual format and organized thematically in the way...

I see the devil's head, people, I see his whole body . . . he longs for innocence, as we do. Here the poet juggles many tones, languages, and countries.

And memory comes back to remind us of the laws and experiences of... This newest collection of poems from Toma alamun is exuberant, ambitious, and full of surprises.

Selected Poems
ISBN: 9780156806466 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although he is best known in the United States for his theater works, Bertolt Brecht is considered one of the greatest of modern German poets. He is supreme among modern poets in any language for his simple, direct, powerful style, which combines poetic sensibility and social consciousness. After a period of expressionistic writing in the 1920's Brecht reacted against the tradition of romantic individualism and set out to strip poetry of ornamentation and sentimentality. He wrote poems that were spare, functional, shaped to teach a lesson -- poems intended to be understood by ordinary people....

Baudelaire and Le Spleen de Paris
ISBN: 9780198158394 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The collection of prose poems known as Le Spleen de Paris is an important, puzzling, and yet relatively neglected area of Baudelaire's work. This is the first study in English that is exclusively concerned with these texts. Approaching the poems chronologically, Hiddleston focuses primarily on the position of the artist and his attitude towards his art, the often enigmatic and contradictory moral message the poems purpose to convey and, above all, the relationship between prose and poetry in this hybrid and, by the poet's own admission, "dangerous" genre.
