Shadow of Paradise Lost

Translations of Ungaretti's Complete Works, a Representative of Hermit Poetry [Editor's Recommendation]
※ Ungaretti's poetry combines the tendency towards carnal revelry in Italian culture with the cold and rational introspective style of French culture. His works have changed modern Italian poetry and announced the arrival of a unique voice in world poetry.
※In "In the Shadow of Paradise Lost", the earliest poem and the latest poem were written almost sixty years apart. We can see the changes in themes, rhetoric, rhyme, etc., but overall, a sensitive young yet old poetic heart dominates everything.
【Celebrity Recommendation】
Ungaretti is one of the few true poets of my generation.
- TS Eliot Ungaretti's poetry always conveys to me a freshness, an infinitely bright air of freedom, a very persuasive and moving voice... His words are so calm, precise, and so concise in the silent blanks.
——Jorge Guillén [Introduction]
Giuseppe Ungaretti is a major 20th-century Italian poet and one of the three great masters of the Hermit School. He meticulously chooses his words, searching for those few words unexpectedly illuminated by the light of experience, and then thrillingly weaves these scattered words into beautiful verses. His poetry embodies a highly refined and nuanced modern poetic consciousness, one can even clearly sense "melancholy leaning against the breezy railing," feeling the words, one after another, giving birth to silent flowers in the darkness.
Shadows of Paradise Lost collects 148 representative poems from different periods of Ungaretti's life. The earliest poem and the latest poem were written almost sixty years apart. Generally speaking, a sensitive young and old poetic heart dominates everything and makes those moments based on words eternal.
