Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This selection of German poems by the Austrian writer Paula von Preradovic is thefirst English language translation of her poetry collection Dalmatinische Sonette.Well known in Austria for writing the country's national anthem, "Land of theMountains, Land by the River," these sonnets celebrate and reflect a melancholicnostalgia for Kroenland Dalmatien, a territory that the Austro-Hungarian Empirelost in 1918 alongside its other Adriatic possessions.Preradovic's father had served as an officer in the Austrian navy in Pula whilethe eastern Adriatic was part of Vienna's maritime outlet. Prolonged residence inthis azure environment gave the author ample inspiration for an original opus thataccurately captured Dalmatia's multifarious essence.Diving beyond the Adriatic's sea's cliches, the poems recall the permanentfeatures of the raw environment, a resplendent historical heritage and a (forlorn)longing for the eternal. Through these sonnets, the translators unveil amongstother things the barren islands, the Karst landscape and odes to the lighthouse andthe olive tree.A preface to the translation is included by the descendants of the author, togetherwith a historical introduction to Dalmatia by the project initiator as well as aninsight into the translation process. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
