Paperback. Condition: New. Now in paperback, René Char's Hypnos is both a remarkable work of literature and a document of unique significance in the history of the French Resistance. Hailed by the poet Paul Eluard as an "absolute masterpiece" upon its first appearance in 1946, René Char's Hypnos is both a remarkable work of literature and a document of unique significance in the history of the French Resistance. Based on a journal Char kept during his time in the Maquis, it ranges in style from abrupt and sometimes enigmatic reflections, in which the poet seeks to establish compass bearings in the darkness of Occupied France, to narrative descriptions that throw into vivid relief the dramatic and often tragic nature of the issues he had to confront as the head of his Resistance network. A tribute to the individual men and women who fought at his side, this volume is also a meditation on the white magic of poetry and a celebration of the power of beauty to combat terror and transform our lives. Translated into German by Paul Celan and into Italian by Vittorio Sereni, the book has never been carried over into English with the attention to style and detail that it deserves. Published in full here for the first time, this long-awaited new translation does justice at last to the incandescence and pathos of the original French.…

Condition: New. pp. 112.

Paperback. Condition: New. René Char (1907-88) is one of the most important modern French poets. Admired by Heidegger for the profundity of his poetic philosophy, he was also a hero of the French Resistance and in the 1960s a militant anti-nuclear protester. Associated with the Surrealist movement for several years and a close friend of many painters - notably Braque, Giacometti and Picasso - he wrote poetry which miraculously, often challengingly, confronts the major 20th century moral, political and artistic concerns with a simplicity of vision and expression that owes much to the poet-philosophers of ancient Greece.Les Matinaux (1947-49) is perhaps his greatest collection. Published after the War, it looks forward to a better and freer world, whilst also bearing the marks of a deep-seated hatred of all fascisms. It includes some of the most beautiful love poems ever written in French. Michael Worton's translations convey the essence of Char's poetry (which says difficult things in a simple, traditional way), and his introduction suggests why Char is one of the vital voices of our age.…

Times Literary SupplementSome of [Chars] most incisive writing about poetry [. . .] A superb new translation [. . .] Hutchinsons locution suggests a candid manager with no time to waste on ceremony. On the SeawallA fresh authoritative English translation [. . .] Chars insightful reflections offer a point-of-view thats as intimate as that within which he was living, engaged with the life-and-death consequences of the operation at hand [. . .] The poets work is maintenance of the record by which the rest of us may take stock of our lives. Chars words are abundantly informed by the actions he undertook. The merits of reading them remain as worthwhile today as ever. The RumpusHutchinsons translation of Hypnos is a thing of rare intelligence and beauty. It is as if we were truly hearing Char for the first time in English. Richard Sieburth, New York UniversityGreat books deserve translations in excess of what they actually require, and Hutchinsons version is wonderfully lucid and supple. It was my favorite book of poetry in 2015. Sam Sacks, Open Letters Monthly Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
