About Book


Breathing Crystals is a major poetry collection from Celan's later years, which he even claimed to be his best work. Gadamer conducted a close reading of it, using a hermeneutical perspective to analyze the narrator and listener in Celan's poetry, exploring the question of "what is you and what is me," and pondering the theme of "who is this." He then read through the twenty-one poems one by one, recreating the mystery and beauty of Celan's masterpiece, as well as the potential deeper meanings behind it.

Great philosophers talk about great poets with all their heart and soul, which is something you can only encounter by chance.
Interpreting poetry through thought, approaching poetry from a philosophical perspective. A classic work on interpreting poetry.
In this classic booklet, you can not only appreciate the poetry and thoughts contained therein, but also feel the bright and clear sky when two kinds of wisdom meet.

Gadamer, the master of phenomenology and hermeneutics, provides a detailed interpretation of Celan's best poetry collection, which is Heidegger's favorite work of Gadamer.

This is the second book in the “Poetry Class” series of Paper Creations.
This is the fourth work created by designer Chijing for Paper Creation. The text of the exposition is engraved within 21 of Celan's original poems—the original poems are engraved on both the inner and outer covers, with shimmering white, shimmering silver, and deep black, presenting the extreme light and dark, luminous sadness and subtlety of Celan's poems.
