Wislawa Szymborska

Monologue Of A Dog (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A Szymborska poem is always charming, wonderfully charming, charming as a small child singing, charming as a great pop-song lyric. But her poems are also, to use an old word, 'deep,' mysteriously so, about the very nature of existence. Adam Gopnick, the New Yorker

From the Nobel Prize winner, a classic collection of witty and contemplative poems, featuring a foreword by Billy Collins

In Monologue of a Dog, Wislawa Szymborska writes with her signature mix of intellect and humor about everything from love unremembered to keys lost in the grass, finding in the smallest moments a path to the vast questions of existence. What begins as a passing thought ends, in her hands, as an x-ray of the human condition.

This bilingual edition, with translations from the incomparable Clare Kavanagh, serves as a perfect introduction for new readers and an essential companion for devoted fans.
