Montale is a love poet whose deeply beautiful, individual work confronts the dilemmas of modern history, philosophy, and faith with courage and subtlety; he has been widely translated into English and his work has influenced two generations of American and British poets. Jonathan Galassi's versions of Montale's major works--\u003ci\u003eOssi di seppia\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLe occasioni\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLa bufera e altro\u003c\/i\u003e--are the clearest and most convincing yet, and his extensive notes discuss in depth the sources and difficulties of this dense, allusive poetry. This book offers English-language readers uniquely informed and readable access to the work of one of the greatest of all modern poets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEugenio Montale\u003c\/b\u003e (1896-1981) received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1975. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJonathan Galassi \u003c\/b\u003ehas also translated Montale's \u003ci\u003eThe Second Life of Art: Selected Essays \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eOtherwise: Last and First Poems.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50523557036306,"sku":"9780374533281","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_4913524f-b31e-4fb4-9f05-e3b1f34bb906.jpg?v=1731152023","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/collected-poems-1920-1954-revised-bilingual-edition-9780374533281","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
