Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Middlesex. Penguin Books Ltd. 1971. First printing in this Penguin edition. A title in the Penguin Modern European Poets series. Soft Covers. Standard paperback size. 138 pp. Toning to the text block but clean and unmarked. Spine a little creased and light wear to the covers. Very Good. Edited, translated and with a foreword by Margaret Crosland. Cesare Pavese is often referred to as one of the most influential Italian writers of his time. Pavese moved in antifascist circles. In 1935 he was arrested and convicted for having letters from a political prisoner. After World War II, he joined the Italian Communist Party and worked on the party's newspaper, L'Unità. Depression, the failure of a brief love affair with the actress Constance Dowling, were dedicated, and political disillusionment led him to his suicide by an overdose of barbiturates in 1950. Leslie Fiedler wrote of Pavese's death ".for the Italians, his death has come to have a weight like that of Hart Crane for us, a meaning that penetrates back into his own work and functions as a symbol in the literature of an age." The circumstances of his suicide, which took place in a hotel room, mimic the last scene of Tra Donne Sole (Among Women Only), his penultimate book. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2315APR011

Famous as a novelist, he will also be remembered for his sympathetic poetry, which evokes traditional, timeless Italian life and expresses profound disquiet at the encroachment of soulless urbanization.

This series now includes selected work by the following poets, in verse translations by, among others, W. H. Auden, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Michael Hanburger, Ted Hughes, J. B. Leishman, Christopher Middleton and David Wevill: Akhmatova, Amichai, Apollinaire, Bobrowski / Bienek, Ekelof, Enzensberger, Four Greek Poets: Cavafy / Elytis / Gatsos / Seferis, Grass, Herbert, Holan, Holub, Kovner / Sachs, Montale, Pavese, Popa, Prevert, Quasimodo, Rilke, Three Czech poets: Nezval / Bartusek / Hanzlik, Ungaretti, Weores / Juhasz, Yevtushenko.'
