Book Overview
Acclaiming the late Eugenio Montale (1897-1981) as "one of the most important poets of the contemporary West," the Swedish Academy awarded him the 1975 Nobel Prize for Literature. This selection, introduced by Glauco Cambon, presents sixty-nine poems chosen from Montale's first three books-- Ossi di seppia ( Cuttlefish Bones ), Le occasioni ( The Occasions ), and La bufera e altro ( The Storm and Other Things )--as rendered by sixteen translators, many of them distinguished poets in their own right.

Selected poems from Montale's first three volumes of poetry
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
In this book published by New Directions is compiled the more noteworthy poems out of Montale's first three volumes of poetry, in a facing page translation from the Italian. Although not his best work (a title I'd rather reserve for his "Satura"), the poems of this period are essential to becoming familiar with Montale's technique, which reaches its highest point in the profound "Picollo testamento (Little Testament)." The layout of this edition leaves a lot to be desired, but still provides the best introduction to this Nobel laureate's early poetry.
