Bøker av Tomas Transtromer

"A collection of poetry and prose by Tomas Transtrèomer, translated by Patty Crane"--

Tomas Tranströmer's poems are thick with the feel of life lived in a specific place: the dark, overpowering Swedish winters, the long thaws and brief paradisal summers in the Stockholm archipelago. He conveys a sense of what it is like to be a private citizen in the second half of the twentieth century.

Tomas Transtr¿mer was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1931, and spent his career as a psychologist. His poetry has been translated into more than fifty languages. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2011, and numerous other honours from around the world during his lifetime. He died on March 26, 2015.

Tomas Transtroemer (1931-2015) was Sweden's most important poet of the past fifty years. This book contains all the poems he published. Robin Fulton's translation is the most authoritative and comprehensive edition of his poetry published anywhere.
