Joseph Brodsky 32876

Kerstgedichten. Uit het Russisch vertaald door Peter Zeeman. Met een nawoord door Kees Verheul

Bezige Bij, 2005. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 61. De Russische dichter Joseph Brodsky schreef tijdens belangrijke en ingrijpende perioden in zijn leven een kerstgedicht. Tezamen vormen deze een prachtige bundel, waarin hij de traditionele elementen van de kerstviering vermengt met zijn eigen levenservaringen. Deze bundel verschijnt aan de vooravond van zijn tiende sterfdag in januari 2006. Voor een deel spelen de gedichten een subtiel spel met de traditionele, idyllische elementen uit het kerstverhaal: het kindeke, Jozef en Maria, de kribbe, ezel en os, de Wijzen, de woestijn, de ster, kaarslicht, sneeuw. Voor het overige onderzoeken ze wat een wezenlijke inhoud van het kerstverhaal - de komst van de Heiland, verlossing, hoop - nog te betekenen heeft in ons tijdsgewricht, in een atheïstische en materialistische wereld. De uitdrukking 'voor elk wat wils' is bij uitstek van toepassing op Brodsky. En dat geldt niet alleen voor de vele verschillende onderwerpen die hij in zijn poëzie aansnijdt. Even kenmerkend voor hem is de grote diversiteit aan vormen waarin hij zijn gedachten en ideeën giet. Wie bijvoorbeeld houdt van het ambachtelijke, klassieke vers komt bij Brodsky veelvuldig aan zijn trekken. Kerstgedichten vormt de opmaat tot de uitgave van de volledige in het Nederlands vertaalde Brodsky, een uitgave die zal verschijnen in het najaar van 2oo6 onder redactie van Kees Verheul. ISBN: 9789023418832. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Joseph Brodsky 32876

A Part of Speech

Oxford University Press, 1980. Paperback. Pp: 151. Winner of the 1987 Nobel Prize for Literature. Joseph Brodsky's second major collection contains poems from the years 1965 to 1978, translated from the Russian. Despite isolation from his native Russian culture and language since becoming an involuntary exile in 1972, Brodsky has inherited the tradition of Mandelstam, Akhmatova, and Pasternak. Restrained, sometimes humorous, sometimes brilliantly epigrammatic, his poems possess the serious, unfrivolous wit of his metaphysical forebears. ISBN: 9780192119391. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Poèmes, 1961-1987

Gallimard, 1987. Paperback. Pp: 250. Poète russe et citoyen américain, Joseph Brodsky, né en 1940, Prix Nobel à quarante-sept ans, est entré dans l'histoire littéraire, il y a vingt-quatre ans, par un procès qui était celui du non-conformisme dans une société close aux normes esthétiques rigides. Condamné en mars 1964 par un tribunal de Leningrad à cinq ans de déportation pour ´parasitisme», il émigre en 1972, peu après son retour d'exil. Il se fixe aux Etats-Unis où il enseigne dans différentes universités, et adopte parfois l'anglais dans ses essais critiques et autobiographiques en prose. L'essentiel de son oeuvre - Une halte dans le désert (1970), La fin d'une belle époque et Partie du discours (1977), Nouvelles stances à Augusta (1983) et Uranie (1987) - reste profondément enraciné, malgré son caractère novateur, dans la langue et la tradition poétique russes. Son lyrisme, nourri par une vaste culture classique et de plus en plus ouvert sur l'horizon planétaire de l'homme d'aujourd'hui, reste dominé par les thèmes de l'exil, de la séparation, de la solitude. Mais cette poésie de la lucidité parfois sarcastique et du refus des illusions consolatrices est, comme toute grande poésie contemporaine, une quête obstinée du sens portée par un acte de foi toujours renouvelé dans les pouvoirs du langage.

AKHMATOVA, ANNA ANDREEVNA; LYN COFFIN (TRANSLATOR) ; JOSEPH BRODSKY (INTRODUCTION)

Poems

New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 1983. First Edition; Fourth Impression. Original Decorated Wrappers. ISBN: 0393300145. Anna Akhmatova, born Anna Andreyevna Gorenko on June 23, 1889, in Odessa, Ukraine (then part of the Russian Empire) , and died on March 5, 1966, in Domodedovo, Russia, was one of the most renowned and influential Russian poets of the 20th century. Akhmatova's poetry explores themes of love, loss, suffering, and the endurance of the human spirit in the face of political turmoil and personal tragedy. Akhmatova's early poetry was characterized by its lyricism, elegance, and classical influences. Her early collections, such as "Evening" (1912) and "Rosary" (1914) , garnered critical acclaim and established her as a prominent voice in the Russian literary scene. However, Akhmatova's life and art were profoundly impacted by the tumultuous events of the Russian Revolution, the Stalinist era, and the subsequent Soviet regime. During these times, her work faced censorship, and she experienced personal hardship, including the arrest and exile of her loved ones. Akhmatova's most notable and celebrated work is her cycle of poems called "Requiem," written between 1935 and 1940. "Requiem" reflects her personal experiences and the suffering endured by the Russian people during the Stalinist purges. The poems capture the anguish, grief, and resilience of individuals facing persecution and loss. Due to its political nature, "Requiem" was not published in its entirety until many years later. Akhmatova's poetry is characterized by its clarity, emotional depth, and profound empathy for the human condition. Her language is concise yet rich in symbolism, drawing on both personal experiences and broader historical contexts. She often employed traditional forms and meter, emphasizing the power of structure and craft in her poetry. Despite the challenges she faced, Akhmatova remained committed to her artistic vision and continued to write poetry. Her later works, such as "Poem Without a Hero" (1960) , demonstrate her ability to blend personal and historical themes, reflecting her enduring exploration of love, loss, and the complexities of existence. Anna Akhmatova's poetry has had a significant impact not only on Russian literature but also on the broader poetic tradition. Her lyrical and emotionally resonant verse, combined with her unwavering artistic integrity, solidifies her status as one of the most important and influential poets of the 20th century. ; Light wear to spine, covers & corners. ; 20.7 x 13.6 x 1.1 cms; 100 pages. Very Good with no dust jacket .

The Kenyon Review, Special Issues for a Patron

(Gambier, OH), (Kenyon College), 1979-1982. First Edition. Wraps. The first sixteen issues of the New Series of this important American literary magazine. These are special issues with loose quires laid into the covers. According to a letter from the editors dated 1990, included here, these issues were specially done for a patron who donated $100 per issue in exchange for autographed copies. A later note from an editorial assistant at the time states that the donor actually contributed much more than the stated amount per issue, more like $8000, and that only four years of signed copies were done, thus making this complete and the only known set. Nearly every contribution is SIGNED by the author, a total of more than 200 signatures, including duplicates, and including several winners of the Nobel Prize. Some of the better known authors: Samuel Beckett, Alexander Solzhenitsyn (3), Italo Calvino, Joseph Brodsky (2), Czeslaw Milosz, Harold Pinter, Derek Walcott, Claude Levi-Strauss, Woody Allen (2), James Merrill (2), George Crumb, Amy Clampitt (4), Ursula Le Guin (3), William Gass, Robert Hass, James Dickey (2), Sharon Olds, Rita Dove, W. D. Snodgrass, Joyce Carol Oates (3), Robert Bly, E. L. Doctorow, Barry Hannah, Michael Harper, David Ignatow, Mary Jo Salter, Christopher Logue, Anthony Hecht (2), Guy Davenport (2), Robert Pinsky, Harold Bloom, Tom Disch, Patricia Hampl, John Hollander, Alfred Corn, Brad Leithauser (2), etc. Two issues are missing a leaf with writings by Gunter Grass in one and Derek Walcott in the other. We suspect that these were never returned by the authors. Near Fine and quite exceptional, likely unique .
