Marie Under: Selected Poetry

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (31956 ratings)

Description:Marie Under, a poet of extraordinary genius, sensitivity, and versatility, and of superb poetic virtuosity in terms of her complete mastery of prosodic forms, wrote in Estonian—a language closely related to Finnish and spoken by about a million people in Estonia, and perhaps another hundred thousand in the emigration. Despite the fact that she was nominated for the Nobel Prize in literature several times during her lifetime, Under’s poetry has remained almost unknown beyond the boundaries of those who are able to read her native language. The few versions of small selections from her work that were made many years ago in English and German attempted to imitate the formal structure (primarily rhyme schemes) of the originals, but for the most part the results were verses that may be said to have been inspired by the ideas present in the Estonian texts, rather than translations that were intended to convey in another language everything the poet herself wanted to express.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
