About this title

Synopsis

Wilfred Owen particip� en la Gran Guerra y muri� en ella pocos d�as antes del armisticio. Este volumen que hoy presentamos recoge sus poemas m�s conocidos y que probablemente sean su contribuci�n m�s importante a la poes�a del siglo XX: sus poemas de la guerra. Escritos en un breve lapso de tiempo, entre el verano de 1917 y el oto�o de 1918, los versos reflejan el impacto extraordinario de la guerra y el consecuente cambio que �sta ocasion� en la visi�n del mundo. La intensidad de las descripciones de Owen, no s�lo de las heridas del cuerpo, sino fundamentalmente de las del alma, es realmente conmovedora, y transforma los poemas escritos en el campo de batalla en un bello alegato pacifista. Benjamin Britten insert� varios de estos poemas entre los textos lit�rgicos que conforman una de sus mayores obras: el War Requiem. Una Misa de Difuntos que reconsagr� en 1962 la derruida catedral de Coventry.

From the Back Cover

This definitive edition of Owen's poetry, based on a close study of the ms. sources in the British Museum and elsewhere, contains a selection of the poet's juvenilia and several other unpublished poems, as well as those which have appeared in the editions edited by Siegfried Sassoon and Edmund Blunden.

Store Description

We are a family run online bookshop based in Wales at the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National park and have been selling books online since October 2004. I have always had a love of books and it eventually got to the stage where my own book collection began to take over the family home! I reluctantly decided to sell a few of my own books on Amazon and was astonished at how quickly they sold. I was hooked and decided to start buying and selling books as a small part-time business from my spare bedroom. The business rapidly expanded, taking over the spare bedroom and my garage, swiftly followed by a spare bedroom in my mother's house and her garage! I acquired a small industrial unit in February 2007 and took the plunge to go full-time in March 2007, closely followed by my wife in September 2007. In October 2007 we moved in to larger premises and also took on our first members of staff to assist with the ever increasing workload. Our aim is to ensure that the people who buy our books enjoy the same service that we would hope for when purchasing a book ourselves. To that end, we endeavour to give all our books accurate descriptions, price them accordingly and dispatch swiftly and safely. All orders are dispatched within one working day, Monday to Friday. We will endeavour to answer all queries by email within 24 hours.
