Download or read book The Waste Land written by T. S. Eliot and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Waste Land' is a long poem by T. S. Eliot. It is widely regarded as one of the most important poems of the 20th century and a central work of modernist poetry. Eliot's poem loosely follows the legend of the Holy Grail and the Fisher King combined with vignettes of contemporary British society. Eliot employs many literary and cultural allusions from the Western canon, Buddhism and the Hindu Upanishads. Because of this, critics and scholars regard the poem as obscure. The poem shifts between voices of satire and prophecy featuring abrupt and unannounced changes of speaker, location, and time and conjuring of a vast and dissonant range of cultures and literatures.

Download or read book The Waste Land Liveright Classics written by T. S. Eliot and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2013-09-16 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of T. S. Eliot’s masterpiece reappears with a major introduction by Pulitzer Prize–winner Paul Muldoon. The Waste Land is arguably the most important poem of the twentieth century. First published in the United States by Boni & Liveright in 1922, this landmark reissue of the first edition, now back with its original publisher, includes a new introduction by Paul Muldoon, showcasing the poem's searing power and strange, jarring beauty. With a modernist design that matches the original, this edition allows contemporary readers to experience the poem the way readers would have seen it for the first time. As Muldoon writes, "It's almost impossible to think of a world in which The Waste Land did not exist. So profound has its influence been not only on twentieth-century poetry but on how we’ve come to view the century as a whole, the poem itself risks being taken for granted." Famously elliptical, wildly allusive, at once transcendent and bleak, The Waste Land defined modernity after the First World War, forever transforming our understanding of ourselves, the broken world we live in, and the literature that was meant to make sense of it. In a voice that is arch, ironic, almost ebullient, and yet world-weary and tragic, T. S. Eliot mixes and remixes, drawing on a cast of ghosts to create a new literature for a new world. In the words of Edmund Wilson, "Eliot…is one of our only authentic poets…[The Waste Land is] one triumph after another."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Time to Love, we delve deeper into the tumultuous world of Klaus von Hartmann, a German economist ensnared by the Nazi regime during World War Two. When he courageously rescues a young Jewish girl from the clutches of SS officers in Munich, 1943, their lives become irrevocably intertwined. As Klaus hides and protects her during the war’s darkest days, the emotional walls he builds threaten his ability to ever truly connect with another. His internal battle with sexual repression, a trait deeply ingrained in his character, jeopardizes his prospects of a genuine romantic relationship. Yet, as the narrative unfolds, we witness Klaus’s poignant journey to recognize and embrace the profound love he feels for the woman who has become his life’s anchor. Parallel to Klaus’s story in Germany, we continue to follow the lives of the family and friends of his late younger brother, Karl (Charles), in England. As the tale progresses, the destinies of the two brothers’ families converge, setting the stage for a heartwarming reunion and hinting at the captivating conclusion awaiting readers in the final instalment of this trilogy. Note: While A Time to Love follows the events of The Measure, focusing on the elder brother of the hero from the first book, it stands alone, offering a complete and enriching experience even for those unfamiliar with its predecessor.

Download or read book Poetry written by T. S. Eliot and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2017-09-20T21:36:23Z with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry of T. S. Eliot collects all of his early work through “The Hollow Men.” Poems like “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” “Whispers of Immortality,” and “Gerontion” ponder aging and mortality, while “Sweeney Erect,” “Mr. Eliot’s Sunday Service,” and “Sweeney Among the Nightingales” sketch the temptations and agonies of the modern man in the character of Sweeney. Woven throughout with allusions to works in six foreign languages and sporting over fifty footnotes by the author, “The Waste Land” is as notorious for its bleak picture of a post-war world as it is for its density and difficulty. “The Hollow Men” ends with one of the most famous stanzas in English poetry. Eliot’s flashes of insight bring the everyday into stark relief. Whether suffering an insufferable bore, observing the lives of strangers on the streets, or juxtaposing the sacred and the profane, his sometimes autobiographical vignettes of modern life still feel current a century after they were penned. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
