Selected PoemsViking, 1999 - Всего страниц: 477 When Viking published "Borges's Collected Fictions" last September, the book received nationwide acclaim. Richard Bernstein in "The New York Times" hailed the publication as "an event, and cause for celebration." The celebration continues this April with the next installment in Viking's projected three-volume set of the "Collected Work ": a new selection of Borges's finest poems edited by Alexander Coleman. "Selected Poems" brings together some two hundred poems--the largest collection of Borges's poetry ever assembled in English, including many never previously translated. The selection draws from a lifetime's work--from Borges's earliest work in the 20s, his debut "Fervor de Buenos Aires" (1923), to his final poetic work, "Los Conjurados" (1985). Throughout the volume, the brilliance of the Spanish originals is matched with luminous English versions rendered by a remarkable cast of translators, among them W. S. Merwin, John Updike, Robert Fitzgerald, Mark Strand and Alastair Reid. "--In Borges's case I do not consider it rash to acclaim him as the most important thing to happen to imaginative writing in the Spanish language in modern times and as one of the most memorable artists of our age."-- Mario Vargas Llosa |
