Writing - and often experimenting - in verse of great technical proficiency and range. Sándor Weöres uses primitive (and even invented) mythology to remind us of the far-off roots of our civilization. Nature and Hungarian folk-lore are very prominent in the prolific, passionate verses of Ferenc Juhász, a poet at odds with his time, who has nevertheless contributed to it some of its finest work.' ***'Penguin Modern European Poets is designed to present, in verse translations, the work of significant poets of this century for readers unfamiliar with the original languages. The series already includes Yevtushenko, Rilke, Apollinaire, Prévert, Quasimodo, a volume of Greek poets, Miroslav Holub, Zbigniew Herbert, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Günter Grass, Vasko Popa, Anna Akhmatova, and Eugenio Montale.' (Quotes taken from the back cover) ***A first printing of the true first edition, published as a paperback original, in its original card covers, in very nice condition. An uncommon title in the series. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
