Лучшие книги Тумаса Транстрёмера

Тумас Транстремер, крупнейший шведский поэт, лауреат Нобелевской премии 2011 года, родился в Стокгольме в 1931 году. В книге "Стихи и проза" представлено все, что написано поэтом на сегодняшний день. В поэзии Транстремера множество "мгновенных " реальностей, словно бы выхваченных из жизни. При этом фрагменты увиденного мира не связаны друг с другом напрямую, а будто бы совершенно случайным образом накладываются сверху на синтаксис. Так что образы, усвоенные автором и через него допущенные в действительность стиха, получают характер "картинки поверх картинки", характер аппликации. Они "сплющены", плоскостны - и вместе с тем зримы и ярки. Но эта плоскостность - ничто иное, как ось нового измерения. Автор прекрасно владеет как свободным стихом, так и метрическим, нередко прибегая также и к "твердым формам". Многие стихотворения публикуются на русском языке впервые.

В книге представлены 10 из 11 опубликованных поэтом сборников, начиная с самого пepвого ("17 стихотворений", 1954). Причем последний ("Траурная гондола", 1996) вошел полностью, а предпоследний ("Живым и мертвым", 1989) - почти полностью. Большинство стихотворений публикуется на русском языке впервые.

Written a few years after Transtromer suffered a stroke that left him unable to speak, Memories Look at Me is Tomas Tranströmer’s lyrical autobiography about growing up in Sweden. His story opens with a streak of light, a comet that becomes a brilliant metaphor for “my life” as he tries to penetrate the earliest, formative memories of his past. This childhood life unfolds itself slowly in eight glistening chapters that gradually reveal the most secret of treasures: how Tranströmer discovered poetry.

Пры гэтым ён дасканала бачыў традыцыі, якімі наўпрост прасякнутая сучаснасць.

A short selection of haunting, meditative poems from the winner of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Literature

Tomas Tranströmer can be clearly recognized not just as Sweden's most important poet, but as a writer of international stature whose work speaks to us now with undiminished clarity and resonance. Long celebrated as a master of the arresting, suggestive image, Tranströmer is a poet of the liminal: drawn again and again to thresholds of light and of water, the boundaries between man and nature, wakefulness and dream. A deeply spiritual but secular writer, his skepticism about humanity is continually challenged by the implacable renewing power of the natural world. His poems are epiphanies rooted in experience: spare, luminous meditations that his extraordinary images split open—exposing something sudden, mysterious, and unforgettable.

The contemporary Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer has a prestigious worldwide reputation; many expect that he will someday win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Robert Bly, a longtime friend and confidant of Tranströmer's, as well as one of his first translators, has carefully chosen and translated the finest of Tranströmer's poems to create this cherished and invaluable collection.

With this new volume of poetry, Tomas Transtromer once again demonstrates his gift for capturing and grounding the elusive, luminous details of our modern world. As its title suggests, For the Living and the Dead works to bridge the space between those real and unreal elements of life, suggesting that a surprising, redemptive cohesion can exist within a universe of opposing forces.

Transtromer has referred to his poems as "meeting places," with "their intent to make a sudden connection between aspects of reality that conventional languages and outlooks ordinarily keep apart. Large and small details of the landscape meet, divided cultures and people flow together in a work of art. . ." People and objects alike are given a certain weightiness, their presence filled with a potential carefully measured by the poet's eye and quietly attested to by his language. In "Vermeer," "The airy sky has taken its place leaning against the wall. /It is like a prayer to what is empty./ And what is empty turns its face to us/ and whispers/ 'I am not empty, I am open.'"

This volume combines Transtromer's recent poetry with a prose memoir of his childhood in Sweden, written in the same careful, unsentimental voice for which he is so beloved. Through this memoir the author reveals himself as a curious, sensitive child, interested in archeology and insects, terrified of school and his authoritarian teachers.

Characterized by the insight and integrity we have come to expect from his work, For the Living and the Dead confirms Tomas Transtromer as one of the most significant living poets writing in any language.
