Selected Poems of Tudor Arghezi
Born in Bucharest of peasant stock, Tudor Arghezi (1880-1967) was awarded Romania's National Poetry Prize in 1946 and the State Prize for Poetry in 1956. The translators of this volume have endeavored not only to convey the spirit of the original Romanian, but to find an English equivalent for its sound. The English verse, printed facing the Romanian, conveys the distilled, metaphorical nature of a poetry that expresses a strong sense of ancestra…
The Collected Poems of Lucio Piccolo
"In Piccolo's poems we meet a Sicily latent in the country of the tourist guides and the history books, but it was Piccolo far more than, say, his cousin Lampedusa, who was destined to draw out the latencies, read the signatures, crack the code....These brilliant translations will serve to introduce a whole new sensibility to Anglo-American readers."— Anthony Burgess "Faithfulness, a loving adherence, a communion with and an entering into the spi…

I Tell You Now
A rich diversity of attitude, experience, and literary style can be seen in I Tell You Now. For these Native American writers, being caught between two cultures has sharpened the struggle for self-identity and a sense of self-worth. They describe their bittersweet memories of childhood and family life, their fight against prejudice and poverty, their triumph over personal problems, their role models and schooling, their reverence for the land and…

Middlemarch
is a treasure-house of details, but it is an indifferent whole. Henry James could not see the one quality which all of George Eliot's critics today are agreed on: the amazing unification of meaning and sensibility in Middlemarch. James, however, had already decided in Partial Portraits that George Eliot's bent was peculiarly intellectual, and when he came to write his review of the novel for The Galaxy, he did not meet the new novel as a new expe…
