Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The most beautiful and powerful of Milosz's poems from across his writing lifeThis selection brings together the most beautiful and powerful of Czeslaw Milosz's poems, spanning his writing life. In verses such as 'Cafe' he considers the upheaval, revolutions and two world wars that he had witnessed, while 'My Faithful Mother Tongue' reflects the loyalty he felt to his native Polish language. He also remembers his schooldays in 'The World', and in 'Bypassing Rue Descartes' recalls the Paris streets of his student years, displaying both tenderness and tough-minded fury towards those who shaped his experiences. Writing not about abstract emotions, but about the horrors and beauty that he directly observed, Milosz opens our eyes to the joy-bringing potential of the poetry to which he gave his life.Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature Brings together author's poems, spanning his writing life. This book features verses such as 'Cafe' that he considers the upheaval, revolutions and two world wars that he had witnessed, while 'My Faithful Mother Tongue' reflects the loyalty he felt to his native Polish language.

Original Wraps. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket, as Issued. Alan Spain (Cover design) (illustrator). First Edition in English. Penguin Modern European Poets series - Penguin Catalogue No. D84. ***First printing of the first UK edition in English, published as a paperback original (PBO) in 1968. Translated from the Polish by Czeslaw Milosz, Peter Dale Scott, with an introduction by A. Alvarez. Cover design by Alan Spain. ***Very good in colour illustrated thin card covers, with the printed price of 4/6 on the back cover. The covers have some light edge wear and rubbing commensurate with age and handling, but no significant creases or tears. There is some light foxing to the covers, both inside and out, but the spine is unfaded and clean with no reading creases. Spine tight. Covers still quite bright. Internally also very good with no ownership details or annotations. As mentioned, there is some light foxing to the inside covers and also the first and last couple of pages. Paper stock lightly tanned but pages clean. No creases or tears. ***180mm x 108mm. 140 pages including a List of Translations, plus a two-page advert for Penguin Modern European Poets at the back of the book. ***'No country has suffered more of the brutalities of Communism and Fascism then Poland. Yet Zbigniew Herbert, the most classical of its poets, is neither nationalist nor Catholic. He speaks for no party. Avant=garde in manner, but controlled, precise, and honest in thought, he stands aside from the chaos all around him, ironically bent on survival. His is the voice of sanity.' ***'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, and Miroslav Holub.' (Quotes taken from the back cover) ***A first printing of the true first edition, published as a paperback original, in the original card covers, in very good condition. One of the scarcer titles in the series, with the bonus of being part-translated by fellow Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 159 pages. Published in 2001. Retrospective collection of poems. One of the greatest poetry books of our time. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Wislawa Szymborska's "Miracle Fair" in a felicitous English translation. A new selection of Szymborska's poems in English: Fresh and vital translations by Joanna Trzeciak that amount to a different approach, meticulously culled from her body of work in the Polish original. Part of the reason Szymborska's work resonates with readers is that it demands to be read ALOUD: Its "metaphorical intonation" is a "vocalise" (to paraphrase the great American poet Richard Howard), and these new translations are a "counter-voice" to the elegant translations of Stanislaw Baranczak and Clare Canavagh. Among other nuances of translation, Trzeciak uses rhyme whenever she thinks it could work, as in Szymborska's love poems, where it does. The Introductory Essay by fellow Pole and fellow Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milosz is "must" reading. "Presents the full range of Wislawa Szymborska's major themes: The ironies of love, the wonders of nature's beauty, and the illusory character of art. Szymborska's voice emerges as that of a gentle subversive, self-deprecating in its wit yet graced with a genius for coaxing the extraordinary out of the ordinary" (Peter Davison). According to Szymborska, all poets are in a perpetual dialogue with the initial as well as the lasting epiphany, "I don't know" (the original title of her Nobel Prize Speech is "I Don't Know"). "Deep currents run / as strange as the echoes of old truths in prayer / There are no questions more urgent / than the naive ones" (Wislawa Szymborska). Wislawa Szymborska died on February 1, 2012, one of the most beloved literary figures of our time. An absolute "must-have" title for Wislawa Szymborska collectors. This copy comes with a 4.0 X 5.5 inch Nobel Prize Souvenir Card that bears Wislawa Szymborska's facsimile signature in black ink-pen on recto. This title is a late-modern classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy (with Nobel Prize Souvenir) of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare set thus. Joanna Trzeciak won The Heldt Prize for Translation for "Miracle Fair" in 2001. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1996. One of the greatest poet/writers of the 20th century. A fine set.
