À propos de ce produit
Product Information
Heir to Mallarmé and the symbolists, and godfather to the modernists, Paul Valéry stands with Rilke and Eliot as a bridge between the tradition of the nineteenth century and the novelty of the twentieth. His reputation as a poet rests on three slim volumes published within only ten years. These poems, though, are inseparable from another, much vaster intellectual and artistic enterprise: his notebooks. The Idea of Perfection shows both sides of Paul Valéry: the craftsman of sublimely refined verse and the fervent investigator of the limits of human intellect and expression. This edition intersperses his major collections of poetry-Album of Early Verse, The Young Fate, and Charms-with incisive passages from the notebooks and closes with his final work, the moving prose poem The Angel. Masterfully translated by Nathaniel Rudavsky-Brody, The Idea of Perfection breathes new life into poems that are among the most beautiful in the French language and the most influential of the twentieth century.

Reviews
"Amazing modernist work . . . Rudavsky-Brody's translations . . . are patient, thoughtful and often imaginative." --Michael Wood, London Review of Books "Taken together, the prose and verse configure Valéry as a writer and thinker tipped into the new century, which picked up speed with Futurism and Dada . . . Valéry was a poet who came close to neoclassical perfection, as well as a modern thinker who understood how elusive perfection would always remain." --Allan Graubard, Los Angeles Review of Books "Nathaniel Rudavsky-Brody's new selection of Valéry's poems is welcome indeed. His translations are fresher than any previous English versions . . . The beauty and power of [Valéry's] best writing is undeniable, and the human dilemmas his work addresses--mortality, embodiment, the longing for perfection--remain with us." --Mark Scroggins, Hyperallergic "[Rudavsky-Brody] has made newly available, in assiduously balanced and nuanced translations, all the significant poems of this now overlooked titan of French letters, and along with them, rousing extracts from Valéry's extraordinary, posthumously published notebooks . . . Valéry's literary legacy may be like the Roman mosaic recently discovered beneath an Italian vineyard, culturally defining but not presently alive. But the relation of his Notebooks to his published work is more like that of the vineyard's root system to its vines: they underpin and allow--they create, in fact--everything of which Valéry's reputation consists." --Claire Messud, The New York Review of Books "FSG's handsome bilingual edition of Paul Valéry . . . intersperses the major poems with passages from the notebooks - a smart way of staging Valéry's dissatisfaction with received form, while drawing attention to his repetitive, heartbreaking obsession with lost futures." --Hannah Sullivan, The Times Literary Supplement "Rudavsky-Brody's version of Valéry brings the work closer to our age and thus, to our ears. [It] manages to hold on to the incantatory sense of the French." --Sean Nam, The Dublin Review of Books "A gratifying affirmation of Valéry's central place in 20th-century literature . . . occasionally [Rudavsky-Brody's] lines are more striking than their French originals." --Adrian Nathan West, The Washington Examiner "The passages from the notebooks were a revelation . . . A fascinating introduction to a major poet in his selection of work." -Edmund Prestwich, The Manchester Review, "Amazing modernist work . . . Rudavsky-Brody's translations . . . are patient, thoughtful and often imaginative." --Michael Wood, London Review of Books "Taken together, the prose and verse configure Valéry as a writer and thinker tipped into the new century, which picked up speed with Futurism and Dada . . .
