Eugenio Montale Selected Poems
Pocketbok. Penguin Modern European Poets uppl. 1969.
Mycket gott skick.
Since the publication of Ossi di Seppia, his first volume of poems, in 1925, Eugenio Montale has come to be seen in Italy as 'the poet of this century. His reputation is now international.
Truth is the only star Montale has followed.
Leaning neither to the right nor the left, favour-ing neither the Catholic church nor the Communist party, he has stood on his own and kept his perception completely clear. His poetry can be difficult, even obscure: but frequently it reflects life in a strong, musical diction which has been compared to that of T. S. Eliot.
Penguin Modern European Poets is designed to present, in verse translations, the work of significant poets of this century for readers unfamiliar with the original languages. The series already includes Yevtushenko, Rilke, Apollinaire, Prévert, Quasimodo, a volume of Greek poets,
Holub, Zbigniew Herbert,
Enzensberger, Günter Grass, Vasko Popa and Anna Akhmatova.
