Hardcover. Condizione: Good. The first collected English edition of Polish poet and essayist Zbigniew Herbert's prose, this outstanding volume consists of four books - Labryinth on the Sea, Still Life with a Bridle, The King of the Ants, and Barbarian in the Garden. Brilliant and erudite, dazzling and witty, these essays survey the geography of humanity, its achievements and its foibles. From Western civilization's past, as witnessed through the Greek and Roman landscape, to musings on the artistic that celebrate the author's discimrinating eye, poetic sensibility, and gift for irony, humor, and the absurd; from a sage retelling of myths and tales that became 20th-century philosophical parables of human behavior to thoughts on art, culture, and history inspired by jourenys in France, Italy, and the Netherlands. Notes. 708p.
