Book excerpt: First Published in 1997. 'Geographically speaking 'Oxopetra' is a promontory on the island of Astypalaea. It is the 'other rock'. For me, it is the farthest point of the land in the sea, the farthest point of our era in another era, and the farthest point of my life in death... Odysseus Elytis.' Odysseus Elytis was born in Crete in 1911 and published the first of his poems in 1935. He was influenced by French Surrealism and travelled widely, and in post-war years lived in France with many other leading poets and artists of his generation. In 1979 he was awarded the Nobel Prize of Literature. The Oxopetra Elegies is a recent collection and is considered by many Greek critics to contain some of the finest and most important poems he has ever written. The Greek Poetry Archive features monographs on key modern Greek poets, from the nineteenth century to the present, and a bilingual collection of their poetry translated into English.

Download or read book Greek Modernism and Beyond written by Dimitris Tziovas and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 1997-06-26 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it is one of the most dynamic and controversial areas of Greek culture, Greek modernism has received little scholarly attention as a literary and cultural phenomenon. A wide variety of competing, often clashing discourses and approaches characterize the study of Greek modernism. In this landmark volume, scholars from three continents provide a framework in which developments in prose, poetry, and drama can be studied together. The contributors seek to redefine the contours of Greek modernism, to reassess its impact on Greek culture, to explore the fringes of the movement. Special attention is paid to the role of the avant-garde in Greece and the emergence of postmodern trends in Greek culture. Greek Modernism and Beyond is valuable reading for students and scholars of Greek and European literature.

Download or read book The Axion Esti written by Odysseus Elytis and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Axion Esti is probably the most widely read volume of verse to have appeared in Greece since World War II and remains a classic today. Those who follow the music of Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis have been especially drawn to Odysseus Elytis's work, his prose is widely considered a mirror to the revolutionary music of Theodorakis. The "autobiographical" elements are constantly colored by allusion to the history of Greece, thus, the poems express a contemporary consciousness fully resonant with those echoes of the past that have served most to shape the modern Greek experience.

Download or read book Mediterranean Modernisms written by Marinos Pourgouris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engaging with the work of Nobel Prize-winning poet Odysseus Elytis within the framework of international modernism, Marinos Pourgouris places the poet's work in the context of other modernist and surrealist writers in Europe. At the same time, Pourgouris puts forward a redefinition of European Modernism that makes the Mediterranean, and Greece in particular, the discursive contact zone and incorporates neglected elements such as national identity and geography. Beginning with an examination of Greek Modernism, Pourgouris's study places Elytis in conversation with Albert Camus; analyzes the influence of Charles Baudelaire, Gaston Bachelard, and Sigmund Freud on Elytis's theory of analogies; traces the symbol of the sun in Elytis's poetry by way of the philosophies of Heraclitus and Plotinus; examines the influence of Le Corbusier on Elytis's theory of architectural poetics; and takes up the subject of Elytis's application of his theory of Solar Metaphysics to poetic form in the context of works by Freud, C. G. Jung, and Michel Foucault. Informed by extensive research in the United States and Europe, Pourgouris's study makes a compelling contribution to the comparative study of Greek modernism, the Mediterranean, and the work of Odysseus Elytis.

Download or read book La Vita Nuova written by Dante Dante Alighieri and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Vita Nuova (1292–94) has many aspects. Dante’s libello, or “little book,” is most obviously a book about love. In a sequence of thirty-one poems, the author recounts his love of Beatrice from his first sight of her (when he was nine and she eight), through unrequited love and chance encounters, to his profound grief sixteen years later at her sudden and unexpected death. Linked with Dante’s verse are commentaries on the individual poems—their form and meaning—as well as the events and feelings from which they originate. Through these commentaries the poet comes to see romantic love as the first step in a spiritual journey that leads to salvation and the capacity for divine love. He aims to reside with Beatrice among the stars. David Slavitt gives us a readable and appealing translation of one of the early, defining masterpieces of European literature, animating its verse and prose with a fluid, lively, and engaging idiom and rhythm. His translation makes this first major book of Dante’s stand out as a powerful work of art in its own regard, independent of its “junior” status to La Commedia. In an Introduction, Seth Lerer considers Dante as a poet of civic life. “Beatrice,” he reminds us, “lives as much on city streets and open congregations as she does in bedroom fantasies and dreams.”
