Paul Celan, "the most important poet in post-war Europe" and the most dazzling German-language writer in the second half of the 20th century, his works are highly praised by the literary and intellectual circles. He personally experienced the Nazi massacre of Jews, the hostility of the German-speaking world, and the difficulty of identity as a Jewish writer writing in German. He opposed pure poetry, faced suffering, and created outstanding poems based on Jewish culture and destiny, absorbing the essence of modern and contemporary literature and art, and coexisting with fear and courage.
This book contains a total of 273 poems by Celan, covering his early works and 10 poetry collections published during and after his lifetime. It is accompanied by a detailed chronology of his life. It is a Chinese translation that fully presents the features of Celan's poems.
