Download or read book Salvador Espriu Selected Poems written by Salvador Espriu and published by Carcanet Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering how much poetry the great Catalan writer Salvador Espriu wrote, a representative selection is a tall order for any translator. Louis Rodrigues has limited his choice to a hundred poems, in order to highlight some of the more notable and original features -- features which challenge the ingenuity of the translator. Yet the conceptual rigour and precision of the ideas expressed and the haunting rhythms which are captured here are more than a shadow of the original. Espriu's mission was to make the Catalan language sing and survive the bleak years when Franco insisted that a unified Spain required a single tongue and forbade the use of the other national languages. The vigour -- intellectual and lyrical -- of Espriu's poems was and remains an inspiration and a consolation to all Catalan speakers.
Download or read book The Poetry of Salvador Espriu written by D. Gareth Walters and published by Tamesis Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two standpoints govern the approach taken to the poetry of Salvador Espriu in this extended study of his work. First, the author explores the structural implications of symmetry and numerology, in a chronological rather than thematic survey of the poetry - a procedure that involves a consideration of how each book attains its distinctive character while having common preoccupations and stylistic traits. Secondly, he examines the tension implicit in Espriu's poetry between involvement and detachment or between the civic and the lyric.
Download or read book Ariadne in the Grotesque Labyrinth written by Salvador Espriu and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the defining texts of twentieth-century Catalan fiction, written by one of its most innovative and cherished writers, Salvador Espriu's Ariadne in the Grotesque Labyrinth is a collection of thirty-four short stories in which the twists and turns of action, character, and place are as winding and sumptuous as the legendary maze of its title. Originally published in 1935 in the midst of great countrywide political and social upheaval, these stories are a mirror, a grotesque mirror, held up to Catalan and Spanish society. Infused with a deep sense of mythic power, blending social realism with lush modernist experiment, Ariadne in the Grotesque Labyrinth is a triumph of style. Perhaps best known for his poetry, Espriu's rich lyricism and highly evocative use of the Catalan language are here brought to life in the poet Rowan Ricardo Phillips's remarkable English language translation of a classic of world literature.

Download or read book T S Eliot Salvador Espriu written by Dídac Llorens Cubedo and published by Universitat de València. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro estudia detalladamente las obras de dos poetas modernos prototípicos: T. S. Eliot y Salvador Espriu. Su imaginario es comparable, puesto que se proyectaba desde su experiencia y cosmovisión personal así como desde su profundo conocimiento de la tradición literaria. Ambos revelan los paralelismos entre los contextos históricos y culturales en los que se crearon sus poemas y ejemplifican su propósito como poetas a la hora de preservar la tradición formada por sus predecesores y a la hora de suscribirse de un modo significativo a ella. El estudio de Dídac Llorens Cubedo lleva al lector a través de un viaje desde el árido desierto o la sórdida ciudad moderna hasta la paz imprecisa de un jardín ideal, desde las restricciones de lo secular hasta el todo sin trabas e intemporal imaginado por Eliot y Espriu, dos gigantes de la poesía.

Download or read book John Donne and Contemporary Poetry written by Judith Scherer Herz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of poems and essays by both poets and scholars explores how John Donne’s writing has entered into the language, the imagination, and the navigation of erotic and spiritual desires and experiences of twentieth- and twenty-first-century writers. The chapters chart a winding path from a description of the Donne and Contemporary Poetry Project at Fordham University to an encounter with the Holy Sonnets to a set of modern holy sonnets and then through the work of a poet who used Donne’s Devotions on Emergent Occasions to chart his own dying. There are further poems on sickness and recovery, an essay on Donne and disease that brings in the work of an Australian poet, and several chapters of poems with various Donnean echoes. Of the final four chapters, one places Donne in relation to another poet and one to the Psalms, followed by two chapters on Donne’s speech figures and his poetics.
