Averno
'Brilliant poems of complex, haunting power... Averno may be Glück's masterpiece' The New York Times Book Review<BR><BR>An acclaimed collection from the Nobel prize-winning poet<BR><BR>This startlingly original reworking of the Persephone myth takes us to the icy shores of Averno, the crater lake regarded by the ancient Romans as the entrance to the underworld. Here, the consolations of rebirth and renewal are eclipsed by the immediacy of loss - by a mother's possessive grief, an abducted girl's equivocal memories, a farmer's lament for a lost harvest. This chorus offers neither comfort nor solace but deepened understanding, its sorrow textured by the poet's luminous wit. Together, the poems of Averno swell to a staggeringly powerful lamentation, through which the reader glimpses the ecstasy of the inevitable, only to find it resisted by the insistent, impersonal presence of the Earth.

Marigold und Rose
'Es ist wahr, dachte Marigold; es ist bloß nicht real.'Getragen von unendlicher Neugierde, traurig und komisch zugleich und anders als alles, was Nobelpreisträgerin Louise Glück je geschrieben hat: die erstaunliche Chronik des ersten Jahres im Leben von Zwillingsmädchen.Rose bezaubert mit ihrem Lächeln, sie ist abenteuerlustig, mutig und kommt ganz nach der Mutter. Marigold beobachtet, ist so zurückhaltend wie der Vater. Und sie will ein Buch über sich und ihre Zwillingsschwester schreiben - natürlich erst, wenn sie sprechen und lesen kann. Zwischen Badezeit und Mittagsschlaf, dem Kennenlernen mit der einen Großmutter und dem Abschiednehmen von der anderen versuchen Marigold und Rose, der Fragen in ihrem Kopf Herr zu werden. Warum ist meine Schwester so anders als ich? Ob Mutter mich lieber hat? Oder Vater? Darf ich denken, was ich denke? Und wie nur kann ich mich ohne Worte ausdrücken? Anhand dieses kleinsten Kosmos des ersten Lebensjahres beschreibt Louise Glück das, was uns zu Menschen macht, untersucht das große Geheimnis der Sprache und das der Zeit, dessen, was ist und was war und was sein wird.

A Village Life
WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE<BR><BR>A dreamlike collection from the Nobel Prize-winning poet A Village Life, Louise Glück's eleventh collection of poems, begins in the topography of a village, a Mediterranean world of no definite moment or place: All the roads in the village unite at the fountain. Avenue of Liberty, Avenue of the Acacia Trees-- The fountain rises at the center of the plaza; on sunny days, rainbows in the piss of the cherub. --from "tributaries" Around the fountain are concentric circles of figures, organized by age and in degrees of distance: fields, a river, and, like the fountain's opposite, a mountain. Human time superimposed on geologic time, all taken in at a glance, without any undue sensation of speed. Glück has been known as a lyrical and dramatic poet; since Ararat, she has shaped her austere intensities into book-length sequences. Here, for the first time, she speaks as "the type of describing, supervising intelligence found in novels rather than poetry," as Langdon Hammer has written of her long lines--expansive, fluent, and full--manifesting a calm omniscience. While Glück's manner is novelistic, she focuses not on action but on pauses and intervals, moments of suspension (rather than suspense), in a dreamlike present tense in which poetic speculation and reflection are possible.

Neue Gedichte der Literaturnobelpreisträgerin'Das Buch enthält/nur Rezepte für den Winter, wenn das Leben schwer ist. Im Frühling/kann jeder ein feines Mahl zubereiten.'Die neuesten Gedichte der Literaturnobelpreisträgerin sind schnörkellos, reduziert und lassen einen doch nicht mehr los. Sie wenden sich an ein Individuum, schwellen an zu einem Chor und weisen auf das große Ganze, das Kollektiv. Lebensgeschichten sind in ihnen verborgen, Segen und Fluch des Alterns, die Kunst, einen Bonsai zu beschneiden, der Tod der Schwester, die Labsal der wärmenden Sonne, deren Helligkeit sich an den dunklen Schatten ermessen lässt, die sie wirft.Ausstattung: Banderole: Nobelpreis für Literatur 2020

Marigold and Rose
Marigold and Rose is a magical and incandescent fiction from the Nobel laureate Louise Glück.<BR><BR>"Marigold was absorbed in her book; she had gotten as far as the V." So begins Marigold and Rose, Louise Glück's astonishing chronicle of the first year in the life of twin girls. Imagine a fairy tale that is also a multigenerational saga; a piece for two hands that is also a symphony; a poem that is also, in the spirit of Kafka's The Metamorphosis, an incandescent act of autobiography.<BR><BR>Here are the elements you'd expect to find in a story of infant twins: Father and Mother, Grandmother and Other Grandmother, bath time and naptime-but more than that, Marigold and Rose is an investigation of the great mystery of language and of time itself, of what is and what has been and what will be. "Outside the playpen there were day and night. What did they add up to? Time was what they added up to. Rain arrived, then snow." The twins learn to climb stairs, they regard each other like criminals through the bars of their cribs, they begin to speak. "It was evening. Rose was smiling placidly in the bathtub playing with the squirting elephant, which, according to Mother, represented patience, strength, loyalty and wisdom. How does she do it, Marigold thought, knowing what we know."<BR><BR>Simultaneously sad and funny, and shot through with a sense of stoic wonder, this small miracle of a book, following thirteen books of poetry and two collections of essays, is unlike anything Glück has written, while at the same time it is inevitable, transcendent.

Poems
A major career-spanning collection from the inimitable Nobel Prize-winning poet<BR><BR>For the past fifty years, Louise Glück has been a major force in modern poetry, distinguished as much for the restless intelligence, wit and intimacy of her poetic voice as for her development of a particular form: the book-length sequence of poems. This volume brings together the twelve collections Glück has published to date, offering readers the opportunity to become immersed in the artistry and vision of one of the world's greatest poets.<BR><BR>From the allegories of The Wild Iris to the myth-making of Averno; the oneiric landscapes of The House on Marshland to the questing of Faithful and Virtuous Night - each of Glück's collections looks upon the events of an ordinary life and finds within them scope for the transcendent; each wields its archetypes to puncture the illusions of the self. Across her work, elements are reiterated but endlessly transfigured - Persephone, a copper beech, a mother and father and sister, a garden, a husband and son, a horse, a dog, a field on fire, a mountain. Taken together, the effect is like a shifting landscape seen from above, at once familiar and unspeakably profound.

Wilde Iris
Ausgezeichnet mit Literaturnobelpreis 2020Die 56 Gedichte in diesem Band besingen den unüberwindlichen Gegensatz zwischen dem ewigen Kreislauf der Natur und dem individuellen menschlichen Leben, die Diskrepanz zwischen dem Garten Eden und der Conditio humana. Louise Glück interessiert dabei nicht der Sündenfall. Mit ihrer klaren, scheinbar schlichten Sprache versetzt sie sich mal in eine Pflanze, mal in einen Gärtner, mal in Gott - und erkundet so die Essenz des menschlichen Seins.Zweisprachige Ausgabe. Ins Deutsche übertragen von Ulrike Draesner.

Treue und edle Nacht
Louise Glück ist eine der wichtigsten Lyrikerinnen Amerikas und wurde 2020 mit dem Literaturnobelpreis ausgezeichnet.'Endlich umfing mich die Nacht / ich schwebte auf ihr, vielleicht in ihr / oder sie trug mich, wie ein Fluss / ein Boot trägt ...'Wir betreten die Welt dieses Buches durch eines ihrer vielen traumartigen Tore. Wir gelangen immer an denselben Ort, doch jedes Mal erscheint er anders. Wir entdecken ihn als Frau, als Mann, als Kind oder Greis. Eine einzige Geschichte in fließenden Teilen. Es ist die Geschichte eines Abenteuers, einer Begegnung mit dem Unbekannten, der mutigen Reise des treuen und edlen Ritters ins Königreich des Todes. Als Fortsetzung der Welt unserer Kinderbücher ist sie uns zutiefst vertraut. Nur beginnt das Vertraute sich zu wandeln, geheimnisvoll zu glänzen wie die Umrisse eines Traums, wie die Sterne der 'treuen und edlen Nacht'.

Marigold e Rose. Una storia
¿Marigold e Rose¿ racconta un segreto: in ognuno di noi si nasconde un libro. A scoprirlo è la piccola Marigold, che tra poco compirà un anno e conosce a malapena quattro parole. Eppure, lei già si sente così diversa dalla sua gemella Rose, con cui dialoga nel misterioso linguaggio delle emozioni. Rose non subisce il fascino dei libri, e abbraccia con entusiasmo la vita fuori dalle pagine: vuole parlare subito, toccare tutto e prendere il più possibile dall¿esistenza. Con la sua prima storia in prosa, Louise Glück ci proietta nella favola della nostra infanzia attraverso una lingua magica, capace di restituirci lo sguardo dell¿innocenza. L¿amore per i genitori, la voglia di crescere, le prime esperienze si svelano nei pensieri di due gemelle molto differenti ma inseparabili, che provano di continuo lo stupore di un istante sempre nuovo. Glück sfida i confini della parola, cercando di mostrarci come il cosmo silenzioso del primo anno di vita sia in realtà l¿intima sorgente di ogni destino. Perché, in fondo, ci vuole la forza di un bambino per scrivere quella storia nascosta che ci portiamo dentro.
