Salvatore Quasimodo (1901-1968) was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1959 for `his lyrical poetry which with classical fire expresses the tragic experience of life in our time'. Jack Bevan's remarkable translation of Quasimodo's entire poetic oeuvre fills a great gap in our knowledge of twentieth-century European poetry. `The poetry is textured like shot silk, yet the elegance and syntactical lucidity with which Jack Bevan has worked to bring these poems to English readers enables them to stand as poems in their own right', as Peter Scupham wrote of Jack Bevan's translation of Quasimodo's last poems, `Debit and Credit'.

Quasimodo's strong and passionate poetry continues to testify to the human (and inhuman) realities which have created our modern world: as the Italian critic Giuliano Dego wrote, `To bear witness to man's history in all the urgency of a particular time and place, and to teach the lesson of courage, this has been Quasimodo's poetic task.' ...

Product Description
Salvatore Quasimodo, the Sicilian poet who won the Nobel Prize in 1959 "for his poetry which with classical fire expresses the tragic experience of life in our time", died in 1968. `Debit and Credit' contains the twenty-two new poems from his last book, `Dare e avere' (1965), together with eleven complementary poems selected by Jack Bevan from his earlier books. These poems show Quasimodo at his best as he explores the complex emotions associated with memories of particular events and places, in lyric verse of grave and passionate eloquence. None of the poems have previously appeared in book form in England. ... Read more
