Collected poems from one of the Twentieth Century's most influential voices. Frank O’Hara was one of the great poets of the twentieth century and, along with such widely acclaimed writers as Denise Levertov, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley, and Gary Snyder, a crucial contributor to what Donald Allen termed the New American Poetry, “which, by its vitality alone, became the dominant force in the American poetic tradition.” Frank O’Hara was born in Baltimore in 1926 and grew up in New England; from 1951 he lived and worked in New York, both for Art News and for the Museum of Modern Art, where he was an associate curator. O’Hara’s untimely death in 1966 at the age of forty was, in the words of fellow poet John Ashbery, “the biggest secret loss to American poetry since John Wheelwright was killed.”. This collection is a reissue of a volume first published by Grove Press in 1957, and it demonstrates beautifully the flawless rhythm underlying O’Hara’s conviction that to write poetry, indeed to live, “you just go on your nerve.Mostra libro

"As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect." With one of the most famous opening lines in literary history, Franz Kafka plunges the reader into the life of Gregor Samsa, a hardworking traveling salesman who becomes a monstrous vermin overnight. But the true horror of The Metamorphosis isn't the physical transformation—it is the reaction of the world around him. As Gregor becomes a burden to the family he once supported, the story unfolds into a tragic, darkly comic, and deeply unsettling exploration of isolation and the fragile nature of human worth. The Birth of the "Kafkaesque": Kafka's narrative style creates a world that is at once mundane and nightmarish. The "Kafkaesque" experience is defined by the struggle against an illogical, bureaucratic, and uncaring power—in this case, the expectations of labor and the cold pragmatism of a family under economic stress. Gregor's transformation serves as a powerful metaphor for anyone who has ever felt "othered," discarded, or trapped by their social role. A Deeply Human Tragedy: Beyond the surreal premise lies a searing look at family dynamics. Witness the transformation of Grete, Gregor's sister, from a sympathetic caretaker to the primary advocate for his removal. The Metamorphosis challenges us to ask: If we can no longer provide value to those we love, do we still deserve their love? It is a quintessential work of 20th-century literature that remains as relevant and gut-wrenching today as the day it was written. Step into the room of Gregor Samsa. Purchase "The Metamorphosis" today and experience the ultimate story of the outsider.Mostra libro
