Much of his early poetry describes the Cinque Terre on the Ligurian coast, where he spent summers throughout his youth. He lived in Florence form 1927 until 1948, when he moved to Milan to join the staff of Il Corriere della Sera, Italy's leading newspaper. Montale's work was read by many as symbols of resistance to Fascism; eventually, he was widely acknowledged as the greatest Italian poet since Leopardi. He was also a voluminous writer of prose (stories & cultural, literary & music criticism) & a talented amateur painter. Montale was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1975. He died in Milan in 1981. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "There have been eloquent version of Montale in English, but they did not catch his agonistic, complex relation to his predecessors: Foscolo, Leopardi, D'Annunzio. Montale culminates what Dante & Petrarch began, & Galassi subtly conveys the fulfillment of Italian poetic tradition." -Harold Bloom "This body of Montale's incomparable poetry has lasting importance for the English-reading world, thanks to the translator's inspired ear, erudition, & artistry. If, as Yeats says, all skill is joyful, Jonathan Galassi must be a happy man." -Shirley Hazzard * SHIPPING: Mnemosyne custom wraps, labels & packages this splendid volume w/ our greatest care for secure prompt FREE shipment via USPS Media Mail within the United States & to international destinations at our posted rates.
