Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - For decades the literature of Canada's experience in World War One lay ignored and was dismissed by readers, critics, and literary historians. Here, at last, is the imaginative testimony of those who served in the trenches and hospitals of the Great War. These pages chronicle the struggle to put into words the horrors, the insights, and the tribulations that ultimately shaped a nation's character. In the voices of Frank Prewett, James Hanley, W. Redvers Dent, nurse Bertha Carveth, fighter pilot Hartley Munro Thomas, and other members of a generation that gave their lives and their souls to the war, is the first anthology since 1918 of poetry, fiction, essays, songs, and illustrations that adds an important new chapter to Canada's literature. Contains a Preface, Foreword, Introduction, Afterword, Biographies, A Glossary, Selected Bibliography, and Questions for Discussion and Essays.…

Neuware - Celebrating three Russian literary greats--Alexander Pushkin, Anna Akhmatova, and Andrei Voznesensky--this collection of their writing presents new translations of a combined 44 poems and includes both Russian and English text. Nearly 20 artworks--from color monoprints to black-and-white collages, illustrations, and photographs--by Pushkin, Voznesensky, Amadeo Modigliani, Nikolai Tyrsa, and Claire Weissman Wilks are also included, opening an artistic dialogue with the poems and the reader.

Anna Akhmatova is Russia's singular female poet and perhaps the greatest in Western culture. Andrei Voznesensky was considered one of the most daring writers of the Soviet era, and before his death he was both critically and popularly acclaimed. These three master poets are brought together with masterful translations that engage their many complexities and are a must for personal or academic interests in Russian literature or poetry in general.…
