Poems - Louise Gluck - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A major career-spanning collection from the inimitable Nobel Prize-winning poet For the past fifty years, Louise Glück has been a major force in modern poetry, distinguished as much for the restless intelligence, wit and intimacy of her poetic voice as for her development of a particular form: the book-length sequence of poems. This volume brings together the twelve collections Glück has published to date, offering readers the opportunity to become immersed in the artistry and vision of one of the world''s greatest poets.From the allegories of The Wild Iris to the myth-making of Averno ; the oneiric landscapes of The House on Marshland to the questing of Faithful and Virtuous Night - each of Glück''s collections looks upon the events of an ordinary life and finds within them scope for the transcendent; each wields its archetypes to puncture the illusions of the self. Across her work, elements are reiterated but endlessly transfigured - Persephone, a copper beech, a mother and father and sister, a garden, a husband and son, a horse, a dog, a field on fire, a mountain. Taken together, the effect is like a shifting landscape seen from above, at once familiar and unspeakably profound.

Nausea - Jean Paul Sartre - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Jean-Paul Sartre''s first published novel, Nausea is both an extended essay on existentialist ideals, and a profound fictional exploration of a man struggling to restore a sense of meaning to his life. This Penguin Modern Classics edition is translated from the French by Robert Baldick with an introduction by James Wood. Nausea is both the story of the troubled life of an introspective historian, Antoine Roquentin, and an exposition of one of the most influential and significant philosophical attitudes of modern times - existentialism. The book chronicles his struggle with the realisation that he is an entirely free agent in a world devoid of meaning; a world in which he must find his own purpose and then take total responsibility for his choices. A seminal work of contemporary literary philosophy, Nausea evokes and examines the dizzying angst that can come from simply trying to live.Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) was an iconoclastic French philosopher, novelist, playwright and, widely regarded as the central figure in post-war European culture and political thinking. Sartre famously refused the Nobel Prize for literature in 1964 on the grounds that ''a writer should not allow himself to be turned into an institution''. His most well-known works, all of which are published by Penguin, include The Age of Reason , Nausea and Iron in the Soul .If you enjoyed Nausea , you might like Albert Camus'' The Outsider , also available in Penguin Modern Classics.''One of the very few successful members of the genre "Philosophical Novel" ... a young man''s tour de force ''Iris Murdoch
