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: new. Paperback. An important new selection of First World War poetry, edited by Jon Stallworthy and Jane PotterThis new selection brings together the poetry of three of the most distinctive and moving voices to emerge from the First World War.
