Ted Hughes Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

The author's second collection of poems which prints some of his most revered work including Pike, Hawk Roosting, and November.

Ted Hughes, anglický básnik, jeden z najlepších zo svojej generácie. Základné východisko tohto výberu tvoria jeho Listy k narodeninám (Birthday Letters), adresované Sylvii Plathovej, americkej poetke, s ktorou ho spájalo nielen sedemročné manželstvo, ale aj dcéra Frieda a syn Nicholas. Zbierka sa okamžite po vydaní stala bestsellerom, bola ovenčená významnými cenami a mnohí kritici ju považujú za vrchol autorovho diela. V tom istom roku, keď vyšli Birthday Letters, vyšla aj bibliofília Teda Hughesa Výkriky a šepoty (Howls & Whispers), rovnako adresovaná Sylvii Plathovej, ktorú možno čítať ako súčasť väčšieho projektu Listov k narodeninám. Napokon slovenský výber obsahuje ešte jeden básnický text, ktorý sa volá Posledný list (Last Letter) a hovorí o posledných dvoch dňoch a noci, počas ktorej Plathová zomrela. Výber zostavil a preložil Peter Trizna. Doslov napísal Ján Gavura.

Tri divadelné hry plné napätia, komiky a zmyslu pre spravodlivosť napísal známy anglický básnik Ted Hughes pre detské školské predstavenia. Dôvtip, invenčnosť a pocit, že v deťoch treba rozvíjať zmysel pre čarovné aj skutočné vnímanie sveta, sa preniesli aj do rozprávkových hier, a tak sa Sean, blázon, Diabol a mačky, Kráska a Zviera či Traja Králi stali zdrojom potešenia a poučenia pre veľkých i malých čitateľov. Knihu preložila Miroslava Gavurová a ilustrovala Miroslava Rudášová.

Knihu Plnou parou vpred, Timmy! nakreslil v polovici päťdesiatych rokov minulého storočia Jim Downer a verše k obrázkom napísal slávny anglický básnik Ted Hughes. Kniha sa dlhý čas považovala za stratenú, ale roku 2008 sa ju podarilo objaviť v Hughesovej pozostalosti a vydať. Timmy bol parník a vlečná loď, jagal sa ako gong, plavil sa po rieke, spod kolies hrala mu muzika. Zdravý bol, rybička, silnejší než Kráľ Kong, mal nový náter a drevo bez jediného červíka. Takto sa začína podmanivý príbeh Timmyho, zabudnutého riečneho parníka, ktorý sa jedného dňa sa rozhodne utiecť zo zátoky a preskúmať šíre moria. Timmy má srdce na správnom mieste a chce pomáhať, no dlho akoby o jeho pomoc nikto nestál. Až kým mu osud do ceste nepriveje nádhernú plachetnicu, ktorú treba zachrániť z pazúrov hroznej búrky.

Timmy der Schlepper fühlt sich von moderner Technik überholt und sucht auf hoher See nach einer neuen Chance, die ihm schließlich die Liebe bringt. Die Geschichte stammt von Jim Downer, während Ted Hughes ursprünglich Verse dazu plante. Diese Ausgabe enthält ein Faksimile der Originalausgabe sowie eine deutsche Übersetzung von Uwe-Michael Gutzschhahn.

In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet of the past. By their choice of poems and by the personal and critical reactions they express in their prefaces, the editors offer insights into their own work as well as providing an accessible and passionate introduction to some of the greatest poets in our literature.Ted Hughes (1930-98) was born in Yorkshire. His first book, The Hawk in the Rain, was published in 1957. His last collection, Birthday Letters, was published in 1998 and won the Whitbread Book of the Year, the Forward Prize and the T. S. Eliot Prize. He was appointed Poet Laureate in 1984 and appointed to the Order of Merit in 1998.

"In a series of chapters built round poems by a number of writers including himself . . . [Ted Hughes] explores, colourfully and intensively, themes such as 'Capturing Animals', 'Wind and Weather' and 'Writing about People'. The purpose throughout is to lead on, via a discussion of the poems (which he does with riveting skill) to some direct encouragement to the children to think and write for themselves. He makes the whole venture seem enjoyable, and somehow urgent . . . ' Times Literary Supplement

This anniversary edition celebrates fifty years since the original publication of Crow (1970) - the vital, shape-shifting collectionby Ted Hughes. They are the bones of poems - made of mere lines: rude, surreal, gleeful, desolate poems - which for all their bleakness transmit a flash of hope.

This book gathers all of Ted Hughes's work, from his earliest poems (published only in journals) through the ground-breaking volumes Crow (1970), Gaudete(1977), and Tales from Ovid (1997). It includes poems Hughes composed for fine-press printers, poems he wrote as England's Poet Laureate, and those children's poems that he meant for adults as well

Ted Hughes has created some of the most enchanting poetry for children in recent times. This collection brings together four decades of his children's poems, from "Meet My Folks!" (1961) to "The Mermaid's Purse," featuring two hundred original illustrations by Raymond Briggs. The edition is thoughtfully organized by reading age, starting with poems for younger readers and progressing to those for young adults. This anthology is a treasure for both children and adults, showcasing Hughes's unique ability to write prolifically for younger audiences. Beautifully illustrated throughout by the acclaimed Raymond Briggs, this collection is the first to arrange all of Hughes's children's poems according to age. It serves as an essential poetry anthology for children of all ages and makes a perfect gift. The poems explore whimsical themes, such as a frosty octopus in mittens and a grandmother with an underwater family, while also celebrating the wonders of nature and the imaginative lives of children. Hughes's work captures the essence of childhood, blending humor and depth, making it a delightful read for anyone who appreciates the magic of poetry.

In The Mermaid's Purse, Ted Hughes explores the ocean. From starfish and seagulls to mermaids and monsters, 28 poems capture the beauty, drama, and mystery of the sea and the seashore. Here is the ghostly cormorant: "Drowned fishermen come back/As famished cormorants/With bare and freezing webby toes/Instead of boots and pants." The strange and comical flounder: "The flounder sees/Through crooked eyes./Through crooked lips/The flounder cries." And the mermaid herself: "Call her a fish,/Call her a girl./Call her the pearl/Of an oyster fresh/On its pearly dish."By turns lyrical, whimsical, and robust, The Mermaid's Purse showcases the distinctive voice and appreciation of the natural world that made Ted Hughes among the most respected of late-20th-century poets. Made doubly accessible by Flora McDonnell's distinctive black-and-white art, this sea-themed collection will delight children and be welcomed by educators.

Erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung: die lange erwarteten Tagebücher der amerikanischen Kultautorin Sylvia Plath, brillant übertragen von Alissa Walser. […] Sylvia Plath nannte ihre Tagebücher einmal: "eine Litanei der Träume, der Weisungen und der Imperative". In diesen, die Jahre 1950 - 1962 umfassenden Eintragungen, eröffnet sich ein intimer Blick auf ihre komplexe Persönlichkeit, ein unverstellter Zugang zu dem künstlerischen Werk dieser außergewöhnlichen Autorin, ihrem schwierigen Leben und ihrer Ehe mit Ted Hughes. (Quelle: http://cms.frankfurter-verlagsanstalt...)

Nach 35 Jahren bricht der englische Dichter Ted Hughes sein Schweigen über die immer wieder von privaten und künstlerischen Krisen überschattete Ehe mit Sylvia Plath. 88 Gedichte, entstanden in den letzten 25 Jahren, folgen chronologisch den Stationen des gemeinsamen Lebens. Hughes' "poetisches Testament einer verlorenen Liebe" gilt in England und Amerika als literarische Sensation.

What has happened to the lost art of memorising poems? Why do we no longer feel that it is necessary to know the most enduring, beautiful poems in the English language 'by heart'? In his introduction Ted Hughes explains how we can overcome the problem by using a memory system that becomes easier the more frequently it is practised. The collected 101 poems are both personal favourites and particularly well-suited to the method Hughes demonstrates. Spanning four centuries, ranging from Shakespeare and Keats through to Thomas Hardy and Seamus Heaney, By Heart offers the reader a 'mental gymnasium' in which the memory can be exercised and trained in the most pleasurable way. Some poems will be more of a challenge than others, but all will be treasured once they have become part of the memory bank. This edition is part of a series of anthologies edited by poets such as Don Paterson and Simon Armitage and features an attractive new design to complement an anthology of classic poems.

When Michael Hofmann and James Lasdun's ground-breaking anthology After Ovid (also Faber) was published in 1995, Hughes's three contributions to the collective effort were nominated by most critics as outstanding.

Ted Hughes wrote a series of creation stories for children from the early 1960s until 1995, which appear here in one volume. They are mesmerising tales about the creatures around us - how they came to be the shape they are and why they behave as they do.

A collection of prose pieces by the Poet Laureate, on literary matters and on writers as diverse as Emily Dickinson, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Walter de la Mare, T.S. Eliot, Wilfred Owen and Sylvia Plath. Hughes also expresses concerns about education, the environment, and the arts in general.

This delightful collection of stories involves understanding those qualities needed to tackle the nasty character and difficult obstacles in life - both young and old, be this in the jungle or farmyard, town or country. Many of these stories are particulary relevant to our own lives, and prove that smart-thinking and kindness to fellow living creatures are more important than muscle or power.Traditional stories appear beside modern ones, illustrating the fact that nature hasn't changed over the years; in the end good must prevail, however difficult it may seem. The many colorful illustrations that accompany the text to these enduring stories will ensure a special place in any child's collection. It is a book to be cherished along with childhood memories.

V dávnych časoch, keď ešte svet voňal novotou a nebolo v ňom zvierat ani vtákov, slnko vystúpilo na oblohu a prinieslo prvý deň. Zo zeme vyhupli kvety a užasnuto hľadeli vôkol seba. Potom sa zo všetkých strán, spod listov a spoza skál začali vynárať zvieratá. V tých dňoch boli farby oveľa krajšie, oveľa jasnejšie ako dnes. A vo vzduchu to iskrilo, lebo ešte sa nepoužíval. Nemyslite si však, že všetko šlo tak ľahko. Predovšetkým sa zvieratá navzájom dosť podobali. Netušili, čo z nich bude. Jedny sa chceli stať stehlíkmi, druhé levmi, tretie zas čímsi iným. Tie, ktoré sa chceli stať levmi, nacvičovali levstvo - a postupne sa naozaj začali meniť na levy. Rovnako tie, ktoré sa chceli stať stehlíkmi, nacvičovali stehlíkovstvo a pomaly sa zmenili na stehlíky. A tak ďalej. Boli však zvieratá, ktoré sa zrodili inak....

This enthralling tour de force of literary criticism, unprecedented in Shakespeare studies for its scope and daring, is nothing less than an attempt to show the Complete Works - dramatic and poetic - as a single, tightly integrated, evolving organism.

Full of the power and fantastic imagination of his famous book The Iron Man, this sequel from the late Poet Laureate is a passionate and brilliant cry against the relentless pollution of the Earth's waterways through the dumping of industrial waste.

In this collection of tales from the Poet Laureate, Ted Hughes, God appears as an artist who is sometimes surprised by his creatures. He puts an awful lot of care into fashioning the birds, whereas he simply pulls Newt out of the ground. The author's other books for children include The Iron Man.

Wolfwatching was the fourteenth collection published by Ted Hughes, England's former Poet Laureate. In it, we encounter several poems that feature his typically striking yet somber exactitude, a style of perception and depiction always unclouded by sentiment. Other poems find Hughes returning to the Yorkshire landscape of his childhood, recounting the tragic effects of World War I, or revisiting the dire plight of that region's coal miners and textile workers. Wolfwatching is an unflinching book about the struggles of this world, struggles both physical and spiritual, both in and out of nature.

This collection of Ted Hughes's animal poems for younger readers is accompanied by illustrations from Flora McDonnell.

Výbor ze tří básnických sbírek jednoho z nejvýznačnějších anglických básníků 20. století: Wodwo (1967) — Vrán: Z Vránova života a písní (1970) — Jeskynní ptáci (1975).

"Ted Hughes ist ein Titan unter den Lyrikern Englands." Jan Wagner – Grund genug, die Gedichte neu zu übersetzen und in einem umfassenden Auswahlband zusammenzustellen. In den Adern des großen englischen Lyrikers Ted Hughes muss ein Anteil Blut jenes sagenhaften Wodwo geflossen sein, dem er eins seiner Gedichte gewidmet hat, dem wilden Mann aus den Yorkshirer Wäldern. Denn ungezähmt, das sind seine Gedichte und auf so physische Art lebendig und erdverbunden, dass sie zu pochen scheinen – wie mühelos erschaffen in einem Akt purer poetischer Energie. In einer Auswahl, die ein „Best-of“ sowie noch nie übersetzte Gedichte versammelt, kann dieser großartige Dichter noch einmal neu entdeckt werden. Die Übersetzung von Jan Wagner offenbart den ganzen sprachlichen Reichtum, den grimmigen Humor und die Lust am Klang.

First published in 1984, this book of prose-linked animal poems won both the Guardian Children's Fiction Award and the Signal Poetry Award. This new, illustated edition remains 'a very beautiful book: God and his son go to visit mankind and ask a few simple questions . . . the poems are pure enchantment' (The School Librarian).

The Rattle Bag is an anthology of poetry (mostly in English but occasionally in translation) for general readers and students of all ages and backgrounds. These poems have been selected by the simple yet telling criteria that they are the personal favorites of the editors, themselves two of contemporary literature's leading poets.Moreover, Heaney and Hughes have elected to list their favorites not by theme or by author but simply by title (or by first line, when no title is given). As they explain in their "We hope that our decision to impose an arbitrary alphabetical order allows the contents [of this book] to discover themselves as we ourselves gradually discovered them--each poem full of its singular appeal, transmitting its own signals, taking its chances in a big, voluble world."With undisputed masterpieces and rare discoveries, with both classics and surprises galore, The Rattle Bag includes the work of such key poets as William Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Lewis Carroll, Dylan Thomas, Wallace Stevens, Elizabeth Bishop, and Sylvia Plath among its hundreds of poems. A helpful Glossary as well as an Index of Poets and Works are offered at the conclusion of this hefty, unorthodox, diverse, inspired, and inspiring collection of poetry.

'Crow' was Ted Hughes's fourth book of poems for adults and a pivotal moment in his writing career. In it, he found both a structure and a persona that gave his vision a new power and coherence.
