Soft Cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Text in English. 118 pp. "Born in 1931, a member of the post-WWII 'modernist' generation of Finland's poets, Rekola works her language on the edges of whereof we can, and whereof we cannot speak; the I of her poem is unassuming, yet inviting- see what happens when you read these words as if you (or you, or you) had written them. As British poet Herbert Lomas has noted,'in spite of an impression of distance, there is also an extreme impression of closeness' Perhaps reminiscent, at first glance, of Sappho's 'fragments', certain classical Chinese poets' works and Imagist (and post-Imagist) poems in English, Mirkka Rekola's poems may be said to incorporate elements of all of the above, but their attention - and ours, as soon as we're willing to share it - focuses elsewhere, on the 'elsewhere' within ourselves and all phenomenal manifestations, be they quotidian or singular: call it spirit.".

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Text in English. 195 pp. Mika Waltari the Finn is the first general work on the background, life and works of the world-famous Finnish author (1908-1979). Waltari's novels have been translated into more than 40 languages, several screen adaptations of them have been filmed all over the world and generation after generation continue to see a voice for their own times in Waltari's work Mika Waltari was Born and lived his life in Finland, in the North of Europe but he had a thirst for distant places. This was equally evident in his historical novels - particularly in The Egyptian in his contemporary fiction - ever since his debut work The Grand Illusion and in his travelogues. The author Marketa Hejkalova reflects on Waltari's life and life's work on Finnish history, particularly in terms of the post-Second World War political atmosphere. Comparative analysis of the works sheds light on Waltari's growth as an author and the changes in his thinking.
