The Waste Land / Бесплодная земля pic Год выпуска: 2006 Автор: T.S. Eliot / Томас Стернз Элиот Исполнитель: Michael Scott Жанр: поэма Издательство: ThoughtAudio.com Язык: Английский Тип: аудиокнига Аудио кодек: MP3 Битрейт аудио: 57 кбит/сек Описание: The Waste Land is a highly influential and controversial 433-line modernist poem written by T. S. Eliot. It is perhaps the most famous and most written-about long poem of the 20th century, detailing the journey of the human soul searching for redemption, the decline of civilization and the impossibility of recovering meaning in life. Despite the alleged obscurity of the poem—its shifts between satire and prophecy, its abrupt and unannounced changes of speaker, location and time, its elegiac but intimidating summoning up of a vast and dissonant range of cultures and literatures—the poem has nonetheless become a familiar touchstone of modern literature. В 1922 г. Элиот опубликовал поэму «Бесплодная земля» («The Waste Land»), которую его друг и наставник Эзра Паунд назвал «самой длинной поэмой, когда-либо написанной на английском языке». Она представляет собой нечто вроде завещания отчаявшегося и разуверившегося во всем человека и строится как череда мысленных картин или грез, сменяющих друг друга в сознании главного персонажа (Тиресия) и пронизанных смутным желанием обрести внутренний мир. Поэма заканчивается призывом к смирению, который герой обращает к самому себе. Литературные и мифологические аллюзии укрупняют эпизоды поэмы и придают им ироничное звучание. Поэма была воспринята как приговор послевоенной европейской культуре и выражение разочарования в расхожих общественных идеалах. Доп. информация: TS ELIOT http://i9.fastpic.ru/big/2010/0814/74/2e964d84922cfde6a28c66f6c0b16574.jpg Thomas Stearns Eliot was one of the most distinguished literary figures of the 20th century, winning the 1948 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry". Although born in Missouri and attending Harvard, he lived most of his life in England. Eliot, while on a three month leave in the coastal resort of Margate for a period of convalescence possibly showed an early version of the poem to Ezra Pound. A year later Eliot had produced a 19-page version of the poem and Pound then made detailed editorial comments and significant cuts to the manuscript. Eliot dedicated the poem to Pound, referring to him as "il miglior fabbro", Italian for "the better craftsman."

The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) The Waste Land is a highly influential 433-line modernist poem by T. S. Eliot. It is perhaps the most famous and most written-about long poem of the 20th century, dealing with the decline of civilization and the impossibility of recovering meaning in life. Despite the alleged obscurity of the poem—its shifts between satire and prophecy, its abrupt and unannounced changes of speaker, location and time, its elegiac but intimidating summoning up of a vast and dissonant range of cultures and literatures—the poem has nonetheless become a familiar touchstone of modern literature. Among its famous phrases are “April is the cruelest month” (its first line); “I will show you fear in a handful of dust”; and “Shantih shantih shantih” (its last line). The title is sometimes mistakenly written as “The Wasteland”. (Summary from wikipedia.org)
