Collected Poems, 1920-1954
Book (italiano):
<DIV><B>A strong, idiomatic translation of Italy's greatest modern poet.</B><BR><BR><DIV>Eugenio Montale is universally recognized as having brought the great Italian lyric tradition that began with Dante into the twentieth century with unrivaled power and brilliance. Montale is a love poet whose deeply beautiful, individual work confronts the dilemmas of modern history, philosophy, and faith with courage and subtlety; he has been widely translated into English and his work has influenced two generations of American and British poets. Jonathan Galassi's versions of Montale's major works—<I>Ossi di seppia</I>, <I>Le occasioni</I>, and <I>La bufera e altro</I>—are the clearest and most convincing yet, and his extensive notes discuss in depth the sources and difficulties of this dense, allusive poetry. This book offers English-language readers uniquely informed and readable access to the work of one of the greatest of all modern poets.<BR></DIV></DIV>
