Kurzbeschreibung
French poet Paul Verlaine was a major representative of the symbolist movement during the latter half of the 19th century. Norman Shapiro's translations seek to display Verlaine's ability to transform into verse the essence of everyday life and make evident the reasons for his renown in France and throughout the Western world. This selection provides the reader with a cross-section of Verlaine's repertoire. Shapiro has included a number of the poet's early works, showing him at his most capricious and lyrical; many poems from his middle period, which reflect his on-again, off-again conversion to Catholicism after his tumultuous relationship with Arthur Rimbaud; and poems from his late period, when he fell prey to poverty, dissipation, and disease. These later poems, rarely anthologized, and for the most part little known, mark an important shift in Verlaine's style and exhibit the biting wit and deep sincerity that characterize this entire collection. Biographical introductions and notes help explain the circumstances that gave rise to Verlaine's work. By spanning the poet's entire life work, Shapiro presents to scholars, students, and general readers of poetry the full range of Verlaine's achievement.

Einleitungssatz
Whether, as a youth of twenty-two, Verlaine truly felt himself to have been born under the malevolent sign of Saturn, foreboding, this early in his life, of the dual nature of his conflicted personality, or whether this was only the aesthetic, self-indulgent posturing of an adulator of Baudelaire and his "flowers of evil," the fact is, his Poemes saturniens really have very little "saturnine" about them except for the volume's title and a brief self-conscious liminary poem.

When translating poetry it is important to convey the exact feeling that one recieves from reading the document in its native language. That's why this book is so great, it tackles the task of translation and pulls it off beautifully. If you are a fan of french poetry then this is just the book for you!

Too Much Poetic License
3. Juni 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
A literal translation of Verlaine from the French would be leaden. (But if you want one that approaches just that, see the Oxford Classics version .) All the same, Shapiro strays too far for me from what Verlaine wrote. These translations are often gorgeous, and sometimes a tad florid. I would have liked to see Shapiro translate more closely to the orginal while maintaining the grace he attempts, and even frequently reaches, here. (Is this possible in translations?) However beautiful, this is not Verlaine.
The notes at book's end , expaining some of the translator's decitions and choices, are quite interesting and worth reading, even though I don't always agree with his approach. ...

Not a translation of the original
27. Dezember 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I wanted a book that would provide decent, close translations of the original French, since there are too few of these out there with respect to Verlaine. As a poet, I recognize the difficulty in translating poetry, but even so, and with an incredibly limited knowledge of French, it's clear that these translations are not at all accurate, but mostly just based on the whimsical wishes of the translator, who seems to have intentionally disregarded many straightforward French words and phrases that could have easily be put into English, without damaging the poem as a whole.
I felt scammed, and would return this if it weren't for my laziness. I never expected to complain about poetry translations because the process really is an art form and one that is very difficult, but this is simply too much.
