About Book

【Highlights】
One of the greatest modernist lyric poets, and the greatest German poet since Rilke, drinks in the void, crosses the river of silence, and forges poetry like drops of blood. This translation by renowned poet and translator Huang Canran presents a poet whose "language comes from the kingdom of death." [Brief Introduction]
Paul Celan is the most influential German-language poet of the second half of the 20th century. Celan's parents perished in Nazi concentration camps, and he himself endured hardships, writing from exile burdened by the weight of these memories. Deeply influenced by French Surrealism, Celan's poetry is imbued with bizarre imagery, his themes imbued with deep and intense emotion, and his rhythms are woven through difficult language and intricate structures. Through poetry, he opened up the possibility for all literature to speak out in the face of profound loss.
This book contains 178 classic poems of Celan selected by Huang Canran, presenting the appearance of Celan's poetry in different periods.
