Paul Celan

Utvidet, nykommentert og revidert utgave. Paul Celan er en av 1900-tallets mest sentrale forfattere. Etter holocaust unngikk han å estetisere lidelsen, og skapte en lysende, konsentrert poesi som alltid står i det fremmedes tegn: Celan så på diktene som flaskepost, en type post som sjelden når fram til et lesende menneske. Disse uforutsigelige diktene har likevel nådd hundretusener - med sin skjønnhet og sin følelsestyngde - alt satt i scene av et opprørt intellekt. Celans dikt framstår fremdeles som uovertrufne språklige nyskapninger. Øyvind Berg har gjort et omfattende utvalg av både dikt og prosa og skrevet et utfyllende etterord, samt kommetarer til diktene.

Paul Celan (192070) is one of the best-known German poets of the Holocaust; many of his poems, admired for their spare, precise diction, deal directly with its stark themes. Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann (192673) is recognized as one of postWorld War II German literature's most important novelists, poets and playwrights. It seems only appropriate that these two contemporaries and masters of language were at one time lovers, and they shared a lengthy, artful and passionate correspondence. Collected here for the first time in English are their letters written between 1948 and 1961. Their correspondence forms a moving testimony of the discourse of love in the age after Auschwitz, with all the symptomatic disturbances and crises caused by their conflicting backgrounds and their hard-to-reconcile designs for living-as a woman, as a man, as writers. In addition to the almost 200 letters, the volume includes an important exchange between Bachmann and Gisele Celan-Lestrange, who married Celan in 1951, as well as the letters between Paul Celan and Swiss writer Max Frisch, who was Bachmann's lover for four years. 'Wieland Hoban has worked with accuracy and determination to capture the nuances of style and register, which include oblique awkwardness (Celan) and self-assuredness (Bachmann), alongside infinite courage and astounding strength (Celan-Lestrange). The translation reads well, with just a slight edge of the original diction remaining to remind readers that we are witnessing a different time and place, and way of perceiving the world. . . . This is an important addition tot he work in translation of two major post-war writers.'- Times Literary Supplement'This book is highly recommended. You cannot possibly be disappointed by it, especially if you are familiar with these writers' literary output, each of which left the world a completely original, masterful, and highly influential body of work. The letters move from youthful heartbreak and poetical exuberance to the destructive later exchanges between two people who cannot trust one another although they are, until the end, drawn to each other. It's not a book you read and shelve. It's a book to read and reread, a book to treasure.'- Shigekuni. Read the lengthy, detailed and enligtening review of the book here.'Correspondence, rendered perfectly in English by Wieland Hoban, traces [Celan and Bachmann's] letters, telegrams, and book inscriptions to one another, color-coded and augmented by hundreds of footnotes. Like other volumes from Seagull Books, it's physically gorgeous, with a pleasingly compact trim size. Reading Correspondence feels like an indulgence. It also feels disorienting. The world of the letters and the world of their authors' real lives are askew in a sometimes jarring way, so that the emotional content of the letters reads almost as fiction.'- Aaron Belz, Books & Culture

Paul Celan, arguably the mid-20th century's most important German-language poet, is commonly pigeonholed as a poet of the Holocaust-a term, however, he never used. Undoing facile assumptions about Celan, Corona charts a more idiosyncratic and personal path through Celan's large oeuvre, choosing 103 poems from among the more than 900 Celan published. The bilingual selection includes work from all of Celan's periods and genres. Without ignoring the poet's well-known work of memory and memorialization, it seeks to open a space for new appreciation of Celan's love poems, as well as his poems on political events, painful reflections on his stays in mental hospitals, and quasi-burlesque verse. Susan H. Gillespie's translations are characterized by their ease of diction and their attention to the somatic and rhetorical aspects of Celan's lines-their sound, gait, tone, and gravity-as well as to their internal and external echoes. The latter, elucidated in notes to the poems, include references to other poets and to Celan's wide readings of everything from specialized dictionaries to other writers-what Roman Jakobson called their poetic etymology.

Celan's English language readers, and readers to come, will be deeply grateful for this new translation of his third book. I admire David Young's clear and respectful introduction, generous to his colleagues in Celan translation, and helpful in providing a broad context for this poetry; and I admire, especially, his faithfulness in spirit as he becomes a "water-diviner" of Celan's work. Young is a subtle, trusting reader of the ways this poet of poets took - as he had to - to create a completely new poetry. - Jean Valentine

Originally presented as a speech to the German Academy for Language and Poetry on the occasion of Celan's acceptance of the Georg Büchner Prize for literature, The Meridian is one of, if not the most important poetological statement of the second half of the twentieth century. Much more than a personal statement or occasional piece, it is a meditation on the state of poetry and art in general and a rigorous attempt to account for what poetry is, can, and must be after the Holocaust. This definitive historico-critical edition, available for the first time in English, presents not only the first drafts, but also a vast array of notes and preparatory work and a brief essay on Osip Mandelstam, all of which work to expand the field of reference of Celan's manifesto and reveal its true scope. Rich commentaries clarify Celan's notes to authors as diverse as Leibniz, Scheler, Kafka, Hofmannsthal, Husserl, Pascal, Valéry, Heidegger, and others. Listen to an interview about Celan's Meridian with translator Pierre Joris on the radio program Cross Cultural Poetics, hosted by poet and professor Leonard Schwartz at writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/XCP.php#253.

Diese Ausgabe der "Suhrkamp BasisBibliothek - Arbeitstexte für Schule und Studium" bietet nicht nur eine repräsentative Auswahl der Gedichte Paul Celans, sondern im Anhang auch die für das Verständnis seines Werks höchst aufschlussreiche Büchner-Preisrede "Der Meridian". Ergänzt wird die Edition von einem Kommentar, der alle für das Verständnis der Gedichte erforderlichen Informationen enthält: eine Zeittafel zu Leben und Werk Celans, die Entstehungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichte der Gedichtbände, Deutungsansätze, Literaturhinweise sowie detaillierte Einzelkommentare zu den hier versammelten 50 Gedichten. Die Schreibweise des Kommentars entspricht den neuen Rechtschreibregeln.

Bewegung ist das Ergebnis von Knochen, Muskeln, Bändern, Sinnesorganen und Willen. Nur wenn alle "Bauteile des Bewegungssystems" miteinander harmonieren, kann sich der Mensch auch willkürlich bewegen. Dabei arbeiten gleich mehrere Bereiche unseres Körpers hochpräzise zusammen: die Knochen und Gelenke mit den Muskeln, Sehnen und Bändern. Gesteuert wird das Ganze vom Gehirn und von anderen Teilen des Nervensystems, wie beispielsweise dem Rückenmark. Und weil keine Bewegung ohne Energieverbrauch möglich ist, arbeitet auch noch das Herz-Kreislauf-System mit und bringt den nötigen Brennstoff an den Ort des Geschehens: in Form von Sauerstoff oder Energieträgern wie Kohlenhydraten und Fetten.

A German-English Bilingual Edition. Breathturn (German: Atemwende) is the first of Paul Celan's three major poetry books before his death by suicide in 1970. This book brilliantly reveals the "Wende" or turning point of his writing. Translator Pierre Joris won the 2004 PEN Translation Award for Paul Celan's Lightduress.
