Love Poems

Erich Fried's poetry is strong and calm. For those not able to read it in German I very much recommend this collection of his poems, "Love Poems", which has both the original German and the English translation on opposing pages. (Those fluent in German, may want to have this book so that they share the poems with their English speaking friends - while enjoying the poems in their original language)Fried's work is not only deeply personal but often also very political. His language is simple and effective. Stuart Hood's translation is true to the original tone.Highly recommended.

Got here on time and in great condition

i think that that Erich fried is a brilliant writer ,thinker and formulator who concerned himself with the underlying themes of humanity or lack of humanity in the 20th century and helped other people to be aware of these themes in an effort to bring about more humanity. i should know as i knew the man because i am his son.

Great translations. Precise, mindful and beautiful. As are the poems originally.

Ein Masterpiece von Erich Fried und wurde sehr gut auf Englisch übersetzt.
