Reviews
"A volume offers poems by one of Czechoslovakia's literary treasures. In this new translation of a Czech classic, English speakers get a taste of one of Europe's most underappreciated verse writers. Nezval was born in Moravia in 1900 and matriculated as a philosophy student, but his early experience with the Prague literary scene converted him to poetry and launched a remarkably prolific career. As Karen von Kunes writes in the foreword, one of the central hopes of Nezval's school was the creation of a new "art of everyday life" that was "accessible" to the "simple man." Kostovski's translation preserves the clarity and simplicity of Nezval's verse. The poet's brief "Place du Tertre" is a good example: "My love, perhaps we both shall meet / When finally the world succeeds / To sit together chair to chair / On that one Parisian square." Yet this seemingly straightforward quatrain yields more nuance the longer readers look. Best of all is the gnomic second line, which could logically attach either to the first--in which case the lovers will meet when the world "succeeds"--or the third, whereby the world prevails in sitting "together chair to chair." That the meaning of this second rendering is mysterious is in keeping with another of Nezval's influences: French surrealism. The poet knew luminaries like Breton and Eluard, and some of their enigmatic qualities seep into Nezval's verse. Breton and Eluard, of course, are both from France, another of their Czech contemporary's loves. Though this collection ostensibly describes a trip across Europe, the lion's share is given to Paris. Nezval writes of his arrival there: "You were Medusa when I dreamed about you / Now here I stand, a vagrant in prime / And the smallest bit that you're able to give / Lulls me to sleep like a drinking man's wine." Yet if the City of Light is this intoxicating, so is Nezval's verse, and readers will hope to get more in English soon. It's a shame he's been hidden for so long. A vibrant collection that introduces an Eastern European master to the West." - Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis
Farewell and a Handkerchief-Poems from the Road is a collection that reflects on the month-long travels of Czech poet Vítezslav Nezval through Vienna, Paris, southern France, and Italy. During this journey, on May 9, 1933, Nezval had a chance encounter with two of the surrealist movement's most influential poets-André Breton and Paul Éluard-while sitting at the Cardinal Café on the Grands Boulevards in Paris, a meeting that proved transformative. After returning home, Nezval helped found the Czech Surrealist Group, along with Karel Teige, Jindrich Stýrský, and Toyen. It became the only official group of its kind outside of France., Farewell and a Handkerchief--Poems from the Road is a collection that reflects on the month-long travels of Czech poet Vítezslav Nezval through Vienna, Paris, southern France, and Italy.

- o***l (310)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernière annéeAchat vérifiéThe item was described to a Tee. Very good communication. Shipping was just a little slow. The box the set of books comes in was damaged (bent corners) due to packaging. Not a deal breaker because the grand kids will not store in that box; might be if it were to be given as a present. The three books in the box arrived in prefect shape. I WOULD purchase from greatbookprices1 again in the future. ThanksConstruction Site Board Books Set, Hardcover by Rinker, Sherri Duskey; Lichte...

- i***y (711)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifié2 volumes of Pogo comic strips, new and in perfect condition. Price was good, but shipping cost ($30 for two books) seems like a lot for how long it took to get delivered (23 days from Illinois to Spain). Also, seller communication was not great. First two times I wrote, their response did not address question. Third response explained at length about the private courier service they use and how it should take 1-10 business days to deliver. Maybe they should consider a different courier service.
- r***_ (108)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifié*Same as the other review* Purchased two box sets from this seller with one being advertised as "like new" but was delivered as if it was actually new. Shipping time was a little slow, takes about 10 days to ship out and it takes a while to get through the system. But the packing was great and I'm still overall happy with my purchase.
