|  Produktbeschreibung (21392531): Rejected for publication in Poland because its portrayal of the Nazis was ´´too sympathetic´´, Music of Another World presents us with a disturbing description of a phenomenon about which little has been written: the presence of music among the crematoria of Auschwitz.Compassionate yet detached, ironic yet pitilessly honest, Szymon Laks, who became kapellmeister of the Auschwitz orchestra, recounts the inconceivable spectacle of SS guards growing teary-eyed at the sound of familiar melodies and in the next moment giving themselves up to the furies of extermination. Music led to the salvation of some; for others it led the way to the gas chambers. That Laks and others were capable of making music at Auschwitz is almost beyond belief. Yet they did so with meager resources and full knowledge of what it would mean if they did not. Music of Another World is a testament not only to the human spirit but also to the music itself, the beauty of which Laks and others honored even as the lives of so many were destroyed. He writes: Since for a long time I was a member of the orchestra at Auschwitz II and during a certain period its conductor, I regard it as my obligation to relate and in some way to commemorate this strange chapter in the history of music, a chapter that will probably not be written by any professional historian of this branch of art. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 10.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (21640040): When this selection of Charles Simic´s work first appeared, it was hailed as ´´easily the best volume of poetry published in 1985....[Simic] is one of the wisest poets of his generation, and one of the best´´.* For this new edition of his selected poems, Simic has added twenty-eight poems and extensively revised others, making this the most complete collection available of his early work.In the spare, haunting vision of these poems, the familiar takes on a disturbing, often sinister, presence. A fork ´´resembles a bird´s foot/Worn around the cannibal´s neck´´ and a bird´s chirp is ´´Like a match flickering / In a new grave´´. Life´s horrors -- violence, hunger, poverty, illness -- lurk unnervingly in the background. And yet, despite the horror, a sense of wonder pervades these poems, transforming the ordinary world into a mysterious place of unknowable forces. Classic displays of the economy and grace of Simic´s work, these poems occupy an established place in American poetry. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 12.95 bestellen! |
