The author of the POW poem "Inventory," among one of the most famous lyrics in the German language, Eich was rivaled only by Paul Celan as the leading poet in the generation after Gottfried Benn and Bertolt Brecht. Expertly translated and introduced by Michael Hofmann, this collection gathers eighty poems, many drawn from Eich's later work and most of them translated here for the first time. The volume also includes the original German texts on facing pages. As an early member of "Gruppe 47" (from which Günter Grass and Heinrich Böll later shot to prominence), Eich (1907-72) was at the vanguard of an effort to restore German as a language for poetry after the vitriol, propaganda, and lies of the Third Reich. Short and clear, these are timeless poems in which the ominousness of fairy tales meets the delicacy and suggestiveness of Far Eastern poetry. In his late poems, he writes frequently, movingly, and often wryly of infirmity and illness. "To my mind," Hofmann writes, "there's something in Eich of Paul Klee's pictures: both are homemade, modest in scale, immediately delightful, inventive, cogent." Unjustly neglected in English, Eich finds his ideal translator here.Facing pages.German poetry20th centuryElectronic books.German poetry831/.914Eich Günter1907-1972.421695Hofmann Michael1957 Aug. 25-967926MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459026803321Angina days2198238UNINA01429nam0 22003371i 450 UON0023409220231205103516.14404-15-00950-220030730d1999 |0itac50 baengGB|||| 1||||ˆThe ‰English novel in history, 1700-1780John RichettiLondonNew YorkRoutledge1999x, 290 p.22 cm.001UON001745392001 ˆThe ‰Novel in History210 LondonNew YorkRoutledgeLetteratura e societàGran BretagnaSec. 17.UONC048390FILetteratura e storiaGran BretagnaStoriaSec. 18.UONC048562FILETTERATURA NARRATIVA INGLESESec. 18.StudiUONC038307FIMUTAMENTO SOCIALE NELLA LETTERATURAUONC052001FIUSNew YorkUONL000050GBLondonUONL003044823Letteratura narrativa inglese21RICHETTIJohn J.UONV114642155989RoutledgeUONV248939650ITSOL20251031RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00234092SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI Angl IV C 0633 SI LO 68275 5 0633 BuonoEnglish novel in history, 1700-17801232598UNIOR
