Über diesen Titel

Críticas

'This book will help students who are making the leap across the apparently daunting gap between coping with spoken Russian or Russian prose and tackling a poetic text ... A helpful index of poetic terms and a reassuringly select list of further reading are provided to help those who are entirely new to the topic. The book is ... a 'guide to reading, interpreting, and appreciating it' ... This aim is most certainly achieved ... This book offers a concise and concentrated account of the things that poets can do with words, and readers with texts.' MLR
