Questa nuova selezione riunisce la poesia di tre delle voci più distintive e toccanti emerse dalla prima guerra mondiale. Ecco la passione controllata e le ricche metafore dei celebri versi di Wilfred Owen come ''Anthem for Doomed Youth'' e ''Strange Meeting'', insieme a molte delle sue opere meno note. Le poesie elegiache di Ivor Gurney, tra cui ''Requiem'' e ''The Silent One'', riflettono il suo amore per la lingua, la musica e il paesaggio, mentre le opere viscerali di Isaac Rosenberg, come ''Break of Day in the Trenches'', sono piene di immagini crude ma anche, come in ''Louse Hunting'', di vitalità e umorismo. Ogni poeta riflette le esperienze disparate dei soldati comuni in guerra e tenta di catturare l'umanità dell'uomo nelle circostanze più disumane.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. This new selection brings together the poetry of three of the most distinctive and moving voices to emerge from the First World War. Here are the controlled passion and rich metaphors of Wilfred Owen's celebrated verses such as 'Anthem for Doomed Youth' and 'Strange Meeting', along with many of his lesser-known works. The elegiac poems of Ivor Gurney, including 'Requiem' and 'The Silent One', reflect his love of language, music and landscape, while the visceral works of Isaac Rosenberg, such as 'Break of Day in the Trenches', are filled with stark imagery but also, as in 'Louse Hunting', with vitality and humour. Each poet reflects the disparate experiences of ordinary soldiers in war, and attempts to capture man's humanity in the most inhumane of circumstances. Codice articolo CIN0141182075G
