Последние издания книг Теда Хьюза

«Ворон» Теда Хьюза (1930–1998) – это большой эпический цикл из шестидесяти семи стихотворений, своего рода фрагментов мифа, развернутого от первотворения до современности. В центре мифа, созданного Хьюзом, – герой-трикстер, пернатое существо, именуемое Вороном. Ворон путешествует в пространстве и времени, участвует в сотворении мира и человека, соревнуется с Богом, становится свидетелем сражений и катастроф, переворотов души и сознания, взлетов и угасания религий, великих открытий и великих ошибок. Тед Хьюз стремился в этих стихах к пугающей простоте, страшной ясности и точности языка, безжалостной откровенности. Они написаны в 1966–1969 годах, после самоубийства его жены, американской поэтессы Сильвии Плат.

The Iron Man came to the top of the cliff.
Where had he come from? Nobody knows.
How was he made? Nobody knows.

The streaming shape reared . . . like a sudden wall of cliff, pouring cataracts of black mud and clotted, rooty lumps of reeds.
Mankind for has polluted the seas, lakes and rivers. The Iron Woman has come to take revenge.
A sequel and companion volume to Ted Hughes' The Iron Man, this new, child-friendly setting will be treasured by a new generation of readers.

A very ordinary boy. Nobody noticed him, he was just like everyone else.
But Fred knew he was different.
He just didn't know quite how different.
And when he did....
Well, what then?

This multi-award winning collection, the first from Ted Hughes, has at its heart the mixture of beauty and violence in the natural world. Dedicated to Sylvia Plath, Hawk in the Rain is a stunning collection of poems on the themes of competition and the struggle for survival. Hughes would go on to become Britain's Poet Laureate in 1984 until his death in 1998.

Including many of Hughes' best-known poems, such as 'The Jaguar', 'The Thought-Fox' and 'Wind' - now stapes of British poetry anthologies - Hawk in the Rain is the foundation of Hughes' reputation as one of the twentieth-century's greatest poets.

Part modern fairy tale, part science fiction myth, The Iron Man describes the unexpected arrival in England of a mysterious giant "metal man" who wreaks havoc on the countryside by attacking the neighbouring farms and eating all their machinery.

This children's classic, with its message of peace and hope, is known and loved all over the UK and is part of an exciting collaboration between Walker Books and Faber and Faber.

Un gigante di ferro apparve un giorno in cima a una scogliera. Nessuno sapeva da dove venisse né dove sarebbe andato. Il vento cantava tra le sue dita di ferro, mentre lui esplorava con i suoi grandi occhi luminosi il mare che non aveva mai visto. Erano molte le cose da scoprire, lì sulla Terra, e l'Uomo di Ferro fu felice di trovare una discarica di metalli in cui fare scorpacciate di rottami e un piccolo, intrepido amico da difendere. Perché dallo spazio stava per arrivare un pericoloso drago-angelo-pipistrello... Età di lettura: da 9 anni.

The correspondence between the British poet Ted Hughes and literary critic Keith Sagar lasted from 1969 until Hughes's death in 1998. During that time Hughes wrote 146 letters to Sagar, which show a unique dialogue between a writer and a critic. In the letters Hughes describes his creative process candidly and in great depth, offering exceptional insight into the poet at work. Their relationship, however, extended to many areas beyond literature, and the letters also cover such topics as Hughes's travels, hunting, religion, education, and his fraught relationship with Sylvia Plath. Never published before in their entirety, this collection provides a significant new perspective on Hughes's life and work

"In a series of chapters built round poems by a number of writers including himself . . . [Ted Hughes] explores, colourfully and intensively, themes such as 'Capturing Animals', 'Wind and Weather' and 'Writing about People'. The purpose throughout is to lead on, via a discussion of the poems (which he does with riveting skill) to some direct encouragement to the children to think and write for themselves. He makes the whole venture seem enjoyable, and somehow urgent . . . ' Times Literary Supplement

Mankind must put a stop to the dreadful destruction by the Iron Man and set a trap for him, but he cannot be kept down. Then, when a terrible monster from outer space threatens to lay waste to the planet, it is the Iron Man who finds a way to save the world.

This collection brings together over 2.50 poems Ted Hughes wrote throughout his life for children. They are arranged by volume, beginning with those for younger readers and progressing to the more sophisticated poems of "Under the North Star", "What Is the Truth?", and "Season Songs". Animals - both real and fantastic - are often the subject, and at every turn Hughes reveals his famously incisive, unsentimental approach to writing about the natural world. Acclaimed illustrator Raymond Briggs accentuates the humor and themes at work (and play) in this volume with nearly zoo endearing drawings, while at the same time respecting the need for…

From the astonishing debut Hawk in the Rain (1957) to Birthday Letters (1998), Ted Hughes was one of postwar literature's truly prodigious poets. This remarkable volume gathers all of his work, from his earliest poems (published only in journals) through the ground-breaking volumes Crow (1970), Gaudete(1977), and Tales from Ovid (1997). It includes poems Hughes composed for fine-press printers, poems he wrote as England's Poet Laureate, and those children's poems that he meant for adults as well. This omnium-gatherum of Hughes's work is animated throughout by a voice that, as Seamus Heaney remarked, was simply "longer and deeper and rougher" than those of his contemporaries.

Here are 28 whimsical, lyrical, and robust animal poems from one of the twentieth century's most celebrated poets. The mole, the cat, the squirrel, the donkey, and others make memorable appearances, accompanied by striking duotone artwork. Acutely observed, accessible, and surprising, this is perfect for children learning to love poetry.

Crow was Ted Hughes's fourth book of poems for adults and a pivotal moment in his writing career. In it, he found both a structure and a persona that gave his vision a new power and coherence. A deep engagement with history, mythology and the natural world combine to forge a work of impressive and unsettling force.

'English poetry has found a new hero and nobody will be able to read or write verse now without the black shape of Crow falling across the page.' Peter Porter
