Prufrock and Other Observations (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"Prufrock and Other Observations" is Eliot's first poetry collection. Comprising 12 poems and built on breath-taking imagery and allusion, each poem showcases Eliot's talent not just as a Poet but as a keen observer of the human condition. And, no poem says this better than "The Love song of J. Alfred Prufrock".

In this introspective poem, Prufrock is all of us, with fears, regrets, and inhibitions. In "Prufrock", Eliot questions mortality, the meaning of life, indecision, worries, failures, and the need to fit in. To love and have the object of our affection love us back.

What T. S. Eliot does in this poem is nothing short of therapeutic. It is one that will force you to look deep within yourself and answer the important questions.

Prufrock asks, "Do I dare, disturb the universe?"

If this a question you've often asked, perhaps after this poem you'll find the courage to answer it.

Autorenporträt

Thomas Stearns Eliot, (1888 - 1965) was a British essayist, publisher, playwright, literary and social critic and "one of the twentieth century's major poets". He moved from his native United States to England in 1914 at the age of 25, settling, working and marrying there. He eventually became a British subject in 1927 at the age of 39, renouncing his American citizenship. Eliot attracted widespread attention for his poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (1915), which was seen as a masterpiece of the Modernist movement. It was followed by some of the best-known poems in the English language, including "The Waste Land" (1922), "The Hollow Men" (1925), "Ash Wednesday" (1930), and "Four Quartets" (1943). He was also known for his seven plays, particularly "Murder in the Cathedral" (1935) and "The Cocktail Party" (1949). He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948, "for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry".
