  From one of Poland's most acclaimed poets comes a new collection of poems and plays spanning almost five decades and translated for the first time. 
  Encapsulating the prolific work of the poet and playwright Zbigniew Herbert, Reconstruction of the Poet is both a celebration of a profound life of letters and a wide-ranging collection of work never published before that casts a new light on a much loved poet. Spanning 1950-1998, Reconstruction of the Poet contains three plays - The Philosophers Cave The Other Room, and Reconstruction of the Poet - and over fifty poems. This collection takes the reader through the mind of a man attempting to look at the ruins of a post-war world while seeking the living sources of European culture, with poems commemorating contemporaries fallen in wartime, erotic experience and friendship, and exploring political and metaphysical passions. 
  A rich expansion of previously published works by Herbert, Reconstruction of the Poet is also an introduction for those who might still be unfamiliar with this important poet’s work while being a fresh instigation to reflection and an enlargement of knowledge for longtime readers of Herbert.

  Hedda Gabler

  Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen is a gripping psychological drama that explores the complexities of ambition, desire, manipulation, and societal expectation. First published in 1890, this masterful work remains one of the most powerful and controversial plays in modern theatre.
  
  The story centers on Hedda Gabler, the fiercely intelligent and deeply restless daughter of a respected general. Recently married to the well-meaning but uninspiring scholar George Tesman, Hedda finds herself trapped in a life that feels painfully ordinary. Accustomed to influence, control, and admiration, she struggles with the suffocating realities of domesticity and social convention. Beneath her composed and elegant exterior lies a profound dissatisfaction—and a dangerous hunger for power over the lives of others.
  
  When Eilert Løvborg, a brilliant but troubled former admirer, reenters her life, long-buried tensions and desires resurface. Alongside the shrewd and perceptive Mrs. Elvsted and the calculating Judge Brack, a tense psychological game unfolds. Hedda's need to shape destinies, to assert control in a world that denies her meaningful agency, sets off a chain of manipulation and irreversible consequences.
  
  Ibsen's portrayal of Hedda is both unsettling and compelling. She is neither a traditional heroine nor a simple villain; rather, she is a complex, deeply human figure caught between societal constraints and her own destructive impulses. Through sharp dialogue and subtle symbolism, Ibsen examines themes of freedom, repression, morality, gender roles, and the search for purpose in a rigid society.
  
  Hedda Gabler remains a landmark of modern drama, celebrated for its psychological depth and unflinching exploration of human motives. With its haunting tension and unforgettable central character, the play continues to resonate with readers and audiences worldwide, offering a timeless reflection on power, identity, and the cost of living a life unfulfilled.

This new edition expands the collection to full book length and shows Godden at her inimitable best—deft technique and powerful emotional heft, with additional new poems reflecting on our fast- changing world with her trademark humour and resilience.
