Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Writing from a mass grave to his living wife, a poet who was murdered by Nazis in 1944 reports on what happened to him, and the role of poetry and beauty when confronted with evil.In Kaddish, Romanian poet Radu Vancu assumes the identity of the murdered Hungarian Jewish poet Miklos Radnoti, taking as his starting point the notebook that was found with Radnotis body when it was exhumed in 1946. Vancu imagines Radnoti addressing his wife in these poems remembering their time together, but also conversing and joking with the dead around him (including his close friend, the violinist Miklosz Lorsi, who was executed just a few days before him), and invoking such historical figures as Dante, Shelley, Borges, Freud, Schumann, and Oppenheimer. Vancu's imagined mass grave is a place of bones, torture, and blood, but it also becomes the ground from which poetry emerges in its most stunning and powerful capacity: to find beauty despite the horror and to be able to resurrect the dead. The book is bilingual (Romanian and English) on facing pages. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. The first English translation of a Romanian poet's celebrated and devastating 2012 collection.In 1997, when he was nineteen, Radu Vancu discovered the body of his father, who had hanged himself in the family home. In the dark years that followed, Vancu turned to literature and self-medication. By 2009, after a decade of "Schopenhauer and vodka" and the publication of seven influential volumes of poetry and essays, Vancu was married, newly sober, and expecting his first child. With these themes in mind-bereavement, love, fatherhood, and poetry-he began writing Frânghia înflorita, or The Rope in Bloom, a poem of Dantesque ambition and scope. Through twenty-four cantos interwoven with prose vignettes, Vancu revisits the scene of the suicide and speaks with the lost soul of his father, who guides and advises him. Each canto begins with the same lines: What your dead one, what the best-beloved of your dead loved ones says to youwhen you have the heart to dream of him: Vancu's verse depicts a nightmare underworld, at once terrible and banal, containing both rivers of blood and family movie nights. Prose vignettes punctuating the book narrate tender years in the early life of a new family. Here, the poet appears in everyday moments, watching cartoons with his son and seeing his wife off to work. Together, the cantos and prose accumulate into a charged collection, where the loss of a father looms over the joy of becoming one.This volume is the first full-length English translation of Vancu's work, marking a long-overdue introduction of the poet to anglophone audiences.…

paperback. Condizione: Neu. 568 Seiten Poate frumusetea salva ceva dintr-o lume care se prabuseste? Poate iubirea opri lumea din autodistrugere? Poate literatura impiedica realitatea sa se sinucida? Sunt intrebarile care, nu intocmai astfel formulate, coaguleaza in jurul lor vietile celor doi indragostiti din roman, Mega si R. Fundalul pe care iubirea lor se desfasoara e Sibiul de la sfarsitul anilor 90 si inceputul anilor 2000 o metonimie pentru splendoarea violenta si mizerabila a Romaniei de la finalul tranzitiei, intrata intr-o spirala intunecata a autodistrugerii. Ca in lumile deopotriva muribunde si hiperkinetice ale lui Bolaño, singurul principiu de coerenta al realului e literatura. Prin urmare, in ea isi cauta Mega si R. (si tot grupul lor straniu de fanatici ai literaturii) salvarea din aceasta Romanie a schemelor Ponzi, a coruptiei generalizate, a Securitatii metastazate. Transparenta e, prin urmare, in egala masura o poveste de dragoste si un eseu despre salvarea prin frumusete.

paperback. Condizione: Neu. 440 Seiten Supravietuirea prin poezie. Cititul ca al saselea simt, cel fara de care nu ai cum sa percepi si sa pricepi plenitudinea vietii. O uriasa intelegere a omenescului disperat. Cate un zambet repede ascuns. Si mai ales, mai ales admiratia, mereu la panda, mereu in cautarea unei prazi, atat in carti, cat si in viata. Pe urmele scriitorului, cititorul va traversa paginile de insemnari ca pe "un vis in care bati cu pumnii launtrici". Citatul este dintr-un poet foarte drag autorului, a carui amintire se pastreaza in jurnal. Tot din poezie e preluat acel & pus in locul lui si, ca semn de recunoastere si de supunere fata de un posibil dublu poetic. Pentru ca ascund sub multele straturi culturale o trauma asumata, paginile acestea construiesc puternice ziduri de aparare a frumusetii si bunatatii. Jurnalul lui Radu Vancu (16 februarie 2020 - 25 iunie 2024) este o mare imbratisare data vietii. - Ioana Parvulescu ISBN 9786303440484 Der Spezialist für Bücher aus Siebenbürgen, dem Banat und Rumänien.
