Inhaltsangabe
Born in Bucharest of peasant stock, Tudor Arghezi (1880-1967) was awarded Romania's National Poetry Prize in 1946 and the State Prize for Poetry in 1956. The translators of this volume have endeavored not only to convey the spirit of the original Romanian, but to find an English equivalent for its sound. The English verse, printed facing the Romanian, conveys the distilled, metaphorical nature of a poetry that expresses a strong sense of ancestral continuity and apocalyptic visions of the world.
Originally published in 1976.

DESCRIPTION - 'Literary critics unanimously agree that Tudor Arghezi is the greatest Romanian poet of this century and ranks among the most original European poets of our time. His poetry has been little known outside Romania, and the difficulties of translating it are tremendous. Selected Poems of Tudor Arghezi represents a splendid poetic accomplishment. Through it the English-speaking public will discover a great modern poet.' - Mircea Eliade, University of Chicago. inventory #36678. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers z36678
