The Inventors: And Other Poems (The French List),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
One of the foremost poets of the French Resistance, Ren Char has been hailed by Donald Revell as the conscience of modern French poetry. Translated by Mark Hutchinson, The Inventors is a companion volume to Chars critically acclaimed Hypnos. It gathers more than forty poems that represent a crosssection of Chars mature work, spanning from 1936 to 1988. All three genres of Chars work are represented here: verse poems, prose poems, and the abrupt, lapidary propositions for which he is best known. These maxima sententia combine the terseness of La Rochefoucauld with the probing and sometimes riddling character of the fragments of Heraclitus.The Inventors includes a brief introduction to Chars life and work, as well as a series of notes on the backstories of the works, which explain allusions that may not be immediately familiar to the Englishspeaking reader. These new translations stay true to the originals, while at the same time conveying much of the music and beauty of the French poems.Praise for Ren CharChar, I believe, is a poet who will tower over twentiethcentury French poetry.George Steiner
