{"product_id":"selected-poems-and-prose-gottfried-benn-9781847771506","title":"Selected Poems and Prose","description":"These selections from the esteemed career of Gottfried Benn--one of the most significant German poets of the 20th century--showcase his early, shockingly graphic depictions of human suffering and degradation, as well as the isolation and fragmentation of the human being adrift in a nihilistic world found in his later work. Translator David Paisey presents two selections, of verse and prose respectively, from Benn's large \u003ci\u003eoeuvre\u003c\/i\u003e, which are ordered chronologically to enable readers to perceive the developments of Benn's art and thought. In an important biographical introduction, Paisey tackles the difficult question of Benn's compliance with the Nazi regime and its impact on his life and work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gottfried Benn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847771505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847771506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Gottfried Benn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978705993983,"sku":"9781847771506","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b96b1aa-8929-457a-950d-3751f31e354e.jpg?v=1683242708","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-poems-and-prose-gottfried-benn-9781847771506","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
