Book excerpt: Despite the fact that Eugenio Montale produced only five volumes of poetry in his first fifty years as a writer, when the Swedish Academy awarded the Italian poet and critic the 1975 Nobel Prize for Literature they called him "one of the most important poets of the contemporary West," according to a Publishers Weekly report.

Book Synopsis Montale in English by : Eugenio Montale
Download or read book Montale in English written by Eugenio Montale and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable gathering of poets who have taken on the complexities of Montale's poetry in that always "impossible" task of carrying the music and meaning of verse from one language to another. Editor Harry Thomas's analysis of different translations of "Verso Vienna" is nothing short of stunning: it gives us a window onto the infinite challenges, choices, and intuitions that make up the task of the translator. The versions of poems that span Montale's entire production, rendered into English by well-known and lesser-known English, Scottish, American, Australian, and Italian poets turned translators, provide genuine access to one of the great voices of modernism, while giving us a renewed sense of the beauties of the English language. An admirable volume to be savored over and over by all lovers of poetry. --Rebecca West.

Download or read book Montale: Poems written by Eugenio Montale and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful hardcover Pocket Poets selection of the works of Nobel Prize-winning Italian poet Eugenio Montale, one of the giants of twentieth-century poetry. Eugenio Montale (1896–1981) is not only Italy’s greatest modern poet but a towering figure in twentieth-century literature. His incandescently beautiful body of work is deeply rooted in the venerable lyric tradition that began with Dante, but he brilliantly reinvents that tradition for our time, probing the depths of love, death, faith, and philosophy in the bracing light of modern history. Dynamic innovation and a coiled, fierce energy fuel the poet’s quest for liberation from the self. Marked by musicality and rhythmic variety, Montale’s poems manage to be buoyant with allusion and metaphor while also densely studded with things—with concrete, elemental images that keep his complex and restless musings firmly tethered to the world. Montale’s reputation is international and enduring; his widely translated work has profoundly influenced generations of poets around the world. This volume contains selections from all his greatest works, rendered into English by the accomplished poet and translator Jonathan Galassi. It serves as both an essential introduction to an important poet and a true pleasure for lovers of contemporary

Book Synopsis Montale, the Modernist by : Giuseppe Gazzola
Download or read book Montale, the Modernist written by Giuseppe Gazzola and published by Ad Ilissum. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Montale, the Modernist explores the historical contingencies and the scientific and philosophical ideas that influenced the composition of Montale's poetry, offering new readings of, among others, 'Non chiederci la parola', 'Arsenio', 'L'alluvione' and 'Dialogo'. Framing Montale alongside such figures as Eliot, Pound, Svevo, Larbaud and Joyce, the book explores the celebrated peculiarities of his poems as modernist innovations, allowing a comprehensive understanding of Montale's role in the lyrical canon of the twentieth century. To recognize Montale's role as a preeminent modernist author also challenges our understanding of modernism itself, not just because it underscores the relationship and the philosophical proximity between Catholic and literary modernism, but because it reorients literary modernism as a truly pan-European movement, originating and distancing itself from the modes of Symbolism after the historic shock of World War I. Considering the arc of Montale's long poetic trajectory, this book traces his evolution from Symbolist to modernist (in 'Ossi di seppia'), high modernist (Le occasioni, La bufera e altro), and finally to a postmodern thinker in the late works (Satura, Diario del '71 e del '72).

Book excerpt: Eugenio Montale's epoch-making first book, Cuttlefish Bones (1925), has been hailed as one of the truly important works of poetry in the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis Messing About in Boats by : Michael Hofmann
Download or read book Messing About in Boats written by Michael Hofmann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by the eminent poet Michael Hofmann, this approachable and companionable book offers readings of four poems on the subject of boats. Based on Michael Hofmann's Clarendon lectures, this volume offers readings of four poems in German, French, Italian, and English, by Rainer Maria Rilke, Arthur Rimbaud, Eugenio Montale, and Karen Solie. All four poems are on the subject of boats: 'Emigrant Ship', the 'Bateau Ivre', 'Boats on the Marne', and 'The World'. The volume suggests an affinity between boats and poems, offers a partial lineage of boats in poems, and pursues four variant destinies: the boat that stays in port, the boat that gives itself to the world, the boat that is washed away down the river, and the one that goes manically and hubristically on forever. The volume retains the style of lectures and has an improvisational character, with the same fire and detail as the things it is about. It is written with a sense of fun, of revelation, and in a spirit of respect and attention.
Book Synopsis Eugenio Montale, the Fascist Storm and the Jewish Sunflower by : David Michael Hertz
Download or read book Eugenio Montale, the Fascist Storm and the Jewish Sunflower written by David Michael Hertz and published by Toronto Italian Studies. This book was released on 2015-07-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eugenio Montale, the Fascist Storm, and the Jewish Sunflower uncovers one of the great hidden sagas of modern literature. During Italy's fascist period, Eugenio Montale - winner of the 1975 Nobel Prize in Literature and one of the greatest modern poets in any language - fell in love with Irma Brandeis, a glamorous and beautiful Dante scholar and an American Jew. While their romance would fall apart, it would have literary repercussions that extended throughout the poet's career: Montale's works abound with secret codes that speak to a lost lover and muse. This study is the first to completely unlock the cryptic thematic link that connects many of Montale's most important poems, which, taken together, form the most significant hidden poetic cycle of modernism. David Michael Hertz explores the intersecting poetic myth and background biography, with precision made possible through recently published archival materials. Bringing the reader into an intense experience of great poetry while telling an engaging story, Hertz vividly shows that close reading in conjunction with biographical and historical materials can be an unforgettable and rewarding experience.

Download or read book Late Montale written by Eugenio Montale and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late Montale is a generous selection of the poems that the Nobel laureate Eugenio Montale wrote in the last decade of his life, including many drawn from notebooks he entrusted to his housekeeper, which appear here in English for the first time. In new translations by the American poet George Bradley that carry over all the wit and lucidity of the originals, each poem takes on a fresh immediacy. Together, they form an ideal introduction for readers unfamiliar with these late works, and for readers who have long admired them, a sparkling reminder of their subtle art of disillusion and surprise.
Download or read book Muse written by Jonathan Galassi and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the publisher of Farrar, Straus and Giroux: a first novel, at once hilarious and tender, about the decades-long rivalry between two publishing lions, and the iconic, alluring writer who has obsessed them both. Paul Dukach is heir apparent at Purcell & Stern, one of the last independent publishing houses in New York, whose shabby offices on Union Square belie the treasures on its list. Working with his boss, the flamboyant Homer Stern, Paul learns the ins and outs of the book trade—how to work an agent over lunch; how to swim with the literary sharks at the Frankfurt Book Fair; and, most important, how to nurse the fragile egos of the dazzling, volatile authors he adores. But Paul’s deepest admiration has always been reserved for one writer: poet Ida Perkins, whose audacious verse and notorious private life have shaped America’s contemporary literary landscape, and whose longtime publisher—also her cousin and erstwhile lover—happens to be Homer’s biggest rival. And when Paul at last has the chance to meet Ida at her Venetian palazzo, she entrusts him with her greatest secret—one that will change all of their lives forever. Studded with juicy details only a quintessential insider could know, written with both satiric verve and openhearted nostalgia, Muse is a brilliant, haunting book about the beguiling interplay between life and art, and the eternal romance of literature.
Download or read book It Depends written by Eugenio Montale and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 1980 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book appeared in Italy during the Nobel laureate's eighty-second year. The sardonic force of his shrewd observations of the contemporary scene remains unblunted even as the poet has become more involved with everyday, more private, more self-revealing. Here it gains even greater prominence as the poet attempts to find catchholds and constancies in an unstable world, finally to accede to 'precariousness the muse of our time.'

Download or read book Cultural Amnesia written by Clive James and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2008-09-04 with total page 875 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book can be heard the merest edge of an enormous conversation. As they never were in life, we can imagine the speakers all gathered in some vast room, wearing name tags in case they don’t recognize each other (although some recognize each other all too well, and avoid contact). My heroes and heroines are here. An almanac combining a comprehensive survey of modern culture with an annotated index of who-was-who and what-was-what, Cultural Amnesia is Clive James’s unique take on the places and the faces that shaped the twentieth-century. From Anna Akhmatova to Stefan Zweig, via Charles de Gaulle, Hitler, Thomas Mann and Wittgenstein, this varied and unfailingly absorbing book is both story and history, both public memoir and personal record – and provides an essential field-guide to the vast movements of taste, intellect, politics and delusion that helped to prepare the times we live in now.
