Three worlds : selected poems : German and English = Drei Welten

Anthologie | Lyrik

Zusammenfassung: "In 1933 the German Jewish poet Karl Wolfskehl (1869-1948), deeply disturbed by the brutal anti-Semitism rising in his native Germany, fled into exile in Switzerland and Italy ... When Italy too adopted anti-Jewish legislation Wolfskehl left Europe, seeking asylum in faraway New Zealand, where he found shelter and the peace to continue writing poetry: his Mediterranean cycle and his most important composition 'Job, or The Four Mirrors.' This selection of Wolfskehl's poetry includes poems from his beginnings around 1900, but focuses on the work from his years of exile when he emerged from the shadow of his admired poet-friend Stefan George and found his own distinctive voice"--Back cover.
