Krátky popis
Published for the centenary of his birth, a gathering of lucid,
intensely lyrical poetry from one of the twentieth century’s
pre-eminent literary voicesbe courageous when reason fails you be
courageousin the final reckoning it is the only thing that
countsZbigniew Herbert was one of the best-known and
most-translated poets of post-war Poland, opposed alike to
Communism, Fascism, nationalism and the Church, yet moved,
throughout his work, by ‘a powerful sense of right and wrong
without a corresponding belief in a system’ (New York Times). His
is a poetry of compression, lucidity and profound humanity. The
universe he conjures is deeply informed not only by his own time,
but by history – by that of the Medieval Mediterranean and Central
Europe, as much as of the Classical world – and by a taste for
historical and philosophical paradox.In the early and middle works,
the figure of the trickster never seems far from view. Throughout,
Herbert asks questions about the nature and needs of sentient
beings. His desire, always, is to ‘touch the essence’: to get to
the heart of life.Selected with an introduction and afterword by J.
M. Coetzee and Alissa Valles, this outstanding gathering from the
full range of Herbert’s poetic output invites readers to experience
the beauty and profundity of a remarkable body of work.
