Eastern Point. During that time he copied his early poems into a notebook purchased in the town.

The Waste Land has been called the 'World's Greatest Poem'. It is said to describe the moral decay of a world after war, to find meaning in a meaningless era. It has been labelled the most truthful poem of its time; it has been branded a masterful fake. A century after its publication in 1922, T. S. Eliot's enigmatic masterpiece remains one of the most influential works ever written, and yet one of the most mysterious. In a remarkable feat of biography, Matthew Hollis reconstructs the intellectual creation of the poem and brings the material reality of its charged times vividly to life. Presenting a mosaic of historical fragments, diaries, dynamic literary criticism and illuminating new research, he reveals the cultural and personal trauma that forged The Waste Land through the lives of its protagonists - of Ezra Pound, who edited it; of Vivien Eliot, who sustained it; and of T. S. Eliot himself, whose private torment is woven into the seams of the work. The result is an unforgettable story of lives passing in opposing directions and the astounding literary legacy they would leave behind.

Hier schnurren, maunzen tanzen die Katzen … T. S. Eliots Old Possums Katzenbuch gelangte als Musical zum Welterfolg. Seit fast 40 Jahren wird Cats ununterbrochen gespielt; es ist das erfolgreichste Musical aller Zeiten – und wird nun mit internationaler Starbesetzung verfilmt. Selbst Katzenliebhaber verfasste Eliot diese heiteren und fantsievollen Verse einst für seine Patenkinder. Doch Grimmtiger, Rem Tem Trecker, Alt Deuteronium und Pus wurden unsterblich und verzaubern Groß und Klein bis heute.

Rozsáhlý výbor z esejistiky a publicistiky Thomase Stearnse Eliota poskytne reprezentativní průřez jeho kritickými a interpretačními úvahami k evropské literatuře od Vergilia přes Shakespeara až po Dickense, Joyce, Ezru Pounda a Djunu Barnesovou, ale představí jej též jako náboženského myslitele a zahrne texty k politickému dění třicátých a čtyřicátých let. Eliot patřil mezi nejvýznamnější veřejné intelektuály 20. století, předmětem jeho uvažování a tématem jeho publikací zdaleka nebyla jen poezie, ale také role křesťanství ve společnosti, otázky moderní výchovy a státu, vztah filosofie a dobového mínění či triviální kultura. Náš rozsáhlý výbor jednak rozšíří představu o záběru Eliotových literárněkritických analýz, jednak v odpovídajícím rozsahu představí tyto ostatní oblasti jeho uvažování a poskytne též (ve výběru) dokumentární podklady pro ošemetné otázky typu Eliotova antisemitismu, vztahu k Maurrasově Action Française nebo k předválečným totalitním režimům.

Thomas Stearns Eliot, nositel Nobelovy ceny za literaturu z roku 1948, je jednou z nejvýznamnějších a nejvlivnějších osobností světové literatury 20. století. Proslul jako rafinovaný básník, dramatik a kritik. Praktická příručka o kočkách se však z celkového obrazu jeho díla výrazně vymyká (dokonce tak, že se o ní mnohé literárněhistorické prameny v přehledech ani nezmiňují). Narušuje totiž dost drasticky jeho celkové důstojně seriózní vyznění, náležíc nesporně k dílkům příležitostným, jednoznačně oddechovým. O životaschopnosti Eliotova kočičího námětu ovšem svědčí samozřejmě muzikál Cats, Eliotovými Kočkami inspirovaný. V historii Broadwaye je to druhý nejdéle uváděný muzikál (po Fantomu opery). Sbírka vychází česky v úplnosti poprvé a je čtvrtým svazkem edice NOS.

Die Überzeugung, dass Unterschiede zwischen Männern und Frauen angeboren sind, wird von Neurobiologin Lise Eliot widerlegt. Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zeigen, dass es vor und kurz nach der Geburt nur minimale Unterschiede zwischen den Gehirnen von Mädchen und Jungen gibt. Erst während der kindlichen Entwicklung bis zur Pubertät führen äußere Einflüsse wie Eltern, Lehrer und gesellschaftliche Konventionen zu den markanten Abweichungen, die den gängigen Geschlechterstereotypen zugrunde liegen. Eliot räumt mit dem Schubladendenken auf: Jungen sind nicht per se besser in Mathematik, sondern in bestimmten Formen räumlichen Denkens. Mädchen sind nicht von Natur aus einfühlsamer, sondern dürfen ihre Gefühle einfach mehr zeigen. In einer komplexen und wettbewerbsorientierten Welt sollten wir alte Rollenmustern nicht verhaftet bleiben, da beide Geschlechter über neue Fähigkeiten verfügen. Eliot plädiert eindringlich dafür, verquere Geschlechterkonventionen zu überwinden. Mit zahlreichen konkreten Beispielen und Ratschlägen verdeutlicht sie, dass unsere Gesellschaft und jeder Einzelne es sich zur Aufgabe machen sollten, allen Kindern – unabhängig vom Geschlecht – zu helfen, ihr volles Potenzial zu entfalten.

T. S. Eliot was not only one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century—he was also one of the most acute writers on his craft. In On Poetry and Poets, which was first published in 1957, Eliot explores the different forms and purposes of poetry in essays such as "The Three Voices of Poetry," "Poetry and Drama," and "What Is Minor Poetry?" as well as the works of individual poets, including Virgil, Milton, Byron, Goethe, and Yeats. As he writes in "The Music of Poetry," "We must expect a time to come when poetry will have again to be recalled to speech. The same problems arise, and always in new forms; and poetry has always before it . . . an ‘endless adventure.'"

»Verschiedene Kritiker haben mir die Ehre angetan, das Gedicht als Kritik an der Gegenwart zu interpretieren, und haben sogar eine gehörige Portion Gesellschaftskritik hineingelesen. Für mich war es nur das Ventil für einen privaten und ganz belanglosen Grant gegen das Leben; es ist lediglich ein Stück rhythmischer Quengelei.« So wehrt ein Autor, ebenso verständlich wie unangemessen und vergebens, den Ruhm ab, mit dem er für eben dieses Gedicht, The Waste Land, überhäuft worden ist. The Waste Land (erschienen 1922) ist das Langgedicht des 20. Jahrhunderts, jedenfalls das mit der größten Wirkung in der westlichen Welt. Ein Blick in Norbert Hummelts schwungvoll rhythmische, „direkte“ Neuübertragung und das Original macht ohne weiteres verständlich, warum. Der puritanischen Traditionslinie der amerikanischen Literatur – über Emerson, Thoreau, Dickinson und Whitman – folgend, bezieht Eliots bewußt fragmentarisch gehaltenes Krisengedicht den Leser geradezu szenisch mit ein. Es läßt ihn mitarbeiten, innehalten, überlegen: Selbsterforschung - des Lesers mehr als des Sprechenden - ist gefragt. Auch dies hat Das öde Land über all die Jahre hinweg lebendig gehalten.

Alfred Prufrock", "Gerontion", "Ash Wednesday", and other poems from Mr. Eliot's early and middle work.

Als Forschungs-Neurowissenschaftlerin widmete Lise Eliot ihre Karriere dem menschlichen Gehirn. Ihre Neugierde wuchs während ihrer ersten Schwangerschaft, was sie dazu brachte, die Gehirnentwicklung zu erforschen, insbesondere die Bildung des Babygehirns und die Entstehung von Sinneswahrnehmungen sowie kognitiven Fähigkeiten. Sie wollte verstehen, wie genetische Veranlagungen und Umwelteinflüsse die Entwicklung ihres Kindes beeinflussen. Kann man die kognitiven Fähigkeiten eines Babys fördern, um intelligentere und glücklichere Individuen zu schaffen? Dieses fesselnde Werk beschreibt die Gehirnentwicklung von der Empfängnis bis zu den entscheidenden ersten fünf Jahren und untersucht wesentliche Faktoren, die diesen Prozess beeinflussen. Dazu gehören die Entwicklung von Sinneswahrnehmungen, motorischen Fähigkeiten, sozialen und emotionalen Verhaltensweisen sowie kognitiven Funktionen wie Aufmerksamkeit, Sprache, Gedächtnis, Logik und Intelligenz. Wichtige Themen sind der Aufbau des Babygehirns, pränatale Einflüsse, die Auswirkungen des Geburtsprozesses, effektive Stimulation für kognitives Wachstum, Geschlechtsunterschiede in der Gehirnentwicklung sowie der Einfluss von Ernährung und Stress.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) was the dominant force in twentieth-century British and American poetry. With poems such as "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, " he introduced an edgy, disenchanted, utterly contemporary version of French Symbolism to the English-speaking world. With his masterpiece "The Waste Land, " he almost single-handedly ushered an entire poetic culture into the modern world. And with his enormously influential essays he set the canonical standards to which writers and critics of poetry have adhered throughout our era.

A concordance that uses as copy-text the Faber and Faber edition of The Complete Poems and Plays of T.S. Eliot , published in England in 1969 (pity there is no US edition of comparable authority). The concordance is essentially in Key Word in Context form, with each word being treated as a headword and printed centered in a line with its preceding and following context. Within the limitations of the line length, as much left and right context as possible is printed. Provisional though it may be in the slowly developing field of Eliot textual studies (and limited in many ways by comparison with electronic texts), this printed concordance conveys its own special insights, and is far from outmoded.

Each year Eliot's presence reasserts itself at a deeper level, to an audience that is surprised to find itself more chastened, more astonished, more humble.'

In The masterly cadences of T. S. Eliot's verse, the twentieth century found its definitive poetic voice, an indelible "image of its accelerated grimace," in the words of Eliot's friend and mentor, Ezra Pound. This Volume is a rich collection of much of Eliot's greatest work. The title poem, The Waste Land (1922), ranks among the most influential poetic works of the century.

Presents a collection of the best known poems by Nobel Prize winning author T.S. Eliot.

Djuna Barnes (1892–1982) gehört zu den größten amerikanischen Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Nightwood ist ihr wichtigstes Buch, ein Klassiker der Moderne par excellence. Der Roman, erschienen 1936, wird neu, mit einem Nachwort von Jeanette Winterston, vorgelegt. Nachtgewächs, der Roman der Liebe einer Frau zu einer anderen Frau – einer Leidenschaft, die unstillbares Verlangen in der einen und tiefe Einsamkeit in der andern weckt –, wäre nicht geschrieben worden, wenn die Liebe zu der Bildhauerin Thelma Wood die Autorin nicht bis in die tiefste Verzweiflung geführt hätte.

Eliot brings cats to life as they dance, purr, and chatter delightfully. Eliot originally wrote these cat poems for his godchildren.

“Tenho observado com crescente ansiedade a trajetória da palavra cultura nos últimos anos. Pode nos parecer natural e significativo que, durante um período de destruição sem paralelo, essa palavra viesse a ter uma importante função no vocabulário jornalístico. Seu papel é dividido com a palavra civilização. Neste ensaio, não busquei de modo algum determinar a fronteira entre os signifi cados dessas duas palavras, pois cheguei à conclusão de que qualquer tentativa nesse sentido somente poderia resultar em uma distinção artificial, peculiar à obra, distinção essa que o leitor teria dificuldade em reter e que, após fechar o livro, provavelmente o abandonaria com uma sensação de alívio. Com efeito, usamos assaz frequentemente uma palavra em um contexto no qual a outra quadraria igualmente bem; há outros contextos em que uma palavra obviamente é adequada e a outra não; e não creio que isso deva causar embaraço. Existem obstáculos inevitáveis o suficiente nessa discussão sem que se ergam outros desnecessários.” — T. S. Eliot
