Emily Dickinson Books
Emily Dickinson stands as one of the 19th century's most original and influential poets, despite fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems being published during her lifetime. Her unique style is marked by short lines, often lacking titles, and unconventional use of slant rhyme, capitalization, and punctuation. Dickinson's introspective life mirrored the profound themes of death and immortality that frequently pervade her work. It was only after her passing that the breadth of her distinctive poetic voice, characterized by its formal invention and thematic depth, became widely recognized and celebrated.

Emily Dickinson's poems are characterized by an unmatched emotional and intellectual intensity that is cast into direct and accessible language of unusual brevity and grace. Some of her poems run for only a few lines but they survey the entire cosmos of human experience, including life and death, solitude and society, morality and nature. A good number of her 1,775 poems are devoted to the experience of love, which Dickinson expressed from the position of the lover, the beloved, and the poet who marvels how love transports and transforms us. This selection gathers Dickinson's thrillingly unique poetry about the central animating experience of our lives.
Emily Dickinson is widely considered to be one of the greatest of American poets. The aphoristic style and wit of much of her verse, its irregular rhymes, directness of expression, and startling imagery have had a profound effect on twentieth-century literature. Over a hundred of Dickinson’s best poems are collected here. These unique and gemlike lyrics are pure distillations of profound feeling and great intellect. They contain a world of imagination, observation, and precisely articulated spiritual and emotional experience.

American poet Emily Dickinson is revered around the world, and influenced many feminist artists and writers. Her work is some of the best known and most quoted or adapted: 'Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all' Emily Dickinson Dickinson received a very good education, but chose to return home to Amherst, Massachusetts, where she spent the rest of her life, writing more than a poem a day until her death. Her refusal to compromise her highly condensed expression meant that only a tiny fraction of her work was published in her lifetime. Even today, her work feels startlingly modern: 'Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell' Emily Dickinson 'The dearest ones of time, the strongest friends of the soul - BOOKS' This is a superb collection from a truly iconic poet.

Discover the joy of poetry in this simple introduction to Emily Dickinson, celebrating the power of hope perched within and the promise of sunnier days Emily Dickinson's beloved poem "Hope is the thing with feathers" takes flight in this beautifully illustrated adaptation, reminding us that hope is always there when we need it, never asking for anything in return. Originally written in 1861, this enduring poem is now accessible to the next generation.
Meet the women who wrote. They wrote against all odds. Some wrote defiantly; some wrote desperately. Some wrote while trapped within the confines of status and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in abject poverty. Some wrote trapped in a room of their father’s house, and some went in search of a room of their own. They had lovers and families. They were sometimes lonely. Many wrote anonymously or under a pseudonym for a world not yet ready for their genius and talent. We know many of their names—Austen and Alcott, Brontë and Browning, Wheatley and Woolf—though some may be less familiar. They are here, waiting to introduce themselves. They marched through the world one by one or in small sisterhoods, speaking to each other and to us over distances of place and time. Pushing back against the boundaries meant to keep us in our place, they carved enough space for themselves to write. They made space for us to follow. Here they are gathered together, an army of women who wrote and an arsenal of words to inspire us. They walk with us as we forge our own paths forward. These women wrote to change the world.

Zwischen Ekstase, Klarheit und Ironie Emily Dickinson unternahm weitere Reisen als so mancher Dichter ihrer Zeit, doch ihre Reisen führten sie in die belebte Stille ihres Gartens und in die Ruhe ihres sonnigen Zimmers, wo sie auf das Leben der amerikanischen Provinz blicken oder in der Ferne die Natur beobachten konnte. In dieser Abgeschiedenheit entstanden poetische Selbsterkundungen, zugleich ekstatisch und nüchtern, ironisch und ernsthaft. Diese Auswahl lädt dazu ein, die Poesie der wohl einflussreichsten amerikanischen Lyrikerin im Original und in deutscher Übersetzung zu entdecken. Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch

Emily Dickinsons Gedichte sind in der Abgeschiedenheit der amerikanischen Provinz entstanden: Es sind poetische Selbsterkundungen, zugleich ekstatisch und nüchtern, ironisch und ernsthaft. Der Band bietet einen repräsentativen Überblick über das Gesamtwerk der einflussreichen Lyrikerin.
Emily Dickinson fue una mujer inteligente, rebelde y culta que, en su encierro voluntario en la habitación de su casa en Amherst, construyó una de las obras más sólidas de la literatura universal. Como señala Juan Marqués en la presentación, sus poemas «además de ser escritos, en principio, exclusivamente para la inmensa minoría de sí misma, fueron, a un tiempo, complicadísimos y simples, alegres y tristes, transparentes y enigmáticos. Son poemas que acompañan y ayudan a vivir a quien los lee, que enseñan a observar mejor, que obligan a ser más compasivo».Aunque su obra es muy extensa, hemos preferido editar un libro pequeño, íntimo, dickinsoniano, para lo que ha sido fundamental la visión poética de las ilustraciones de Kike de la Rubia.Edición bilingüe.

Emily Dickinson
Gedichte. Das Umfassende, die Wahrheit und die Liebe
Die meisten ihrer Werke verfasst Emily Dickinson in den Jahren des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs. Ihre geistige Beweglichkeit und ihr weiter Horizont sind gepaart mit einer überempfindlichen Psyche, so dass sie sich als junge Frau entschließt, das väterliche Anwesen nicht mehr zu verlassen und die Gesellschaft zu meiden. Sie tritt die Flucht nach innen an, sitzt fortan »im Licht ihres eigenen Feuers« und verfasst in aller Stille ihr überragendes Werk, das hier in Auswahl und in neuer Übersetzung nach Themen geordnet präsentiert wird. Die Zeit scheint Dickinsons Werk dabei nichts anhaben zu können: »›Es trägt kein Schiff uns wie ein Buch / In ferne Kontinente‹, ist hier einmal zu lesen. Die Dichtung, in deren Sprechen und Schweigen Magda Kirndörfer uns hineinführt und deren zeigenden Gesten sie folgt – sie ist ein immer von neuem zu entdeckendes, weites Land. Und sie ist das Schwierige, das ganz einfach wird, wenn wir ihm nur geduldig folgen, aufmerksam und deutungslos.« (Heinrich Detering)
Zbiór blisko pięćdziesięciu wierszy jednej z najwybitniejszych, a zarazem najbardziej tajemniczych poetek światowej literatury. Za wybór i przekład odpowiedzialny jest śląski eseista i tłumacz Tadeusz Sławek. Dzięki jego tłumaczeniu pozornie nieskomplikowane, kunsztowne utwory XIX-wiecznej poetki zadziwiają swą nowoczesnością oraz intelektualną głębią, która ujawnia się w specyficznie ujmowanych pojęciach i błyskotliwych paradoksach. Duet Dickinson–Sławek należy do najszczęśliwszych mariaży, jakie można sobie na niepewnym gruncie tej niepowtarzalnej poezji wyobrazić.

Nejslavnější americká básnířka z konce minulého století, jejíž poezie se minula s dobou, v níž žila, a ona sama věhlas nezažila. Její básně jsou jako většina velké poezie naprosto moderní právě tím, že oslovují v čtenáři tu nejhlubší vnitřní strunu, jež není závislá na prostoru a času. Jiří Šlédr, dlouholetý milovník jejího díla, připravil zatím největší český výbor z její poezie a doplnil ho vlastní studií.

Tři ženy z přelomu devatenáctého a dvacátého století, které psaly ženám, představují různé poetiky a osudy v této sbírce básní, přeložené a doplněné krátkým doslovem Sylvy Ficové a Anny Štičkové, s ilustracemi Silvie Vavřinové. Lesbické poezie se často zdá, že současné autorky nemají žádné předchůdkyně kromě antické Sapfó. Avšak motivy sapfického typu nalezneme nejen ve starozákonní knize Rút, ale také v dílech křesťanských mystiček, jako je Hildegarda von Bingen, či u anglické dramatičky Aphry Behn a básnířky Anne Finch. Tento svazek přináší tři americké autorky: výstřední Emily Dickinson, o které se tradovalo, že byla poněkud bláznivá; vášnivou sběratelku knih Amy Lowell, jež se postavila proti Ezra Poundovi tím, že vydala antologie imagistické poezie bez jeho souhlasu; a extrovertní Gertrude Stein, která pořádala salon v Paříži, kam chodili Picasso, Fitzgerald, Hemingway a Matisse. Tato sbírka ukazuje, jak rozmanité a inspirativní byly hlasy žen, které psaly pro ženy v této fascinující éře.

Výbor 50 básní sestavený Zdeňkem Křenkem – všech padesát překladů z této běžně nedostupné bibliofilie vyšlo znova jen s několika nepatrnými změnami v novějším výboru z veršů Svůj podíl noci snést v roce 2006.
Nový výbor 135 básní geniální americké básnířky 19. století (1830 – 1886), opět v překladu Jiřího Šlédra, navazuje na rozsáhlý výbor 373 básní ve sbírce Neumím tančit po špičkách, publikovaný v r. 1999 (dotisky v létech 2001 a 2004, Argo). Díky mnohaleté vytrvalosti a nadšení jejího věrného překladatele se českému čtenáři naskýtá možnost seznámit se s „nepřeložitelnou“ poezií této autorky ve skutečně velkém záběru. Důraz tohoto nového svazku je položen na básnířčino nejproduktivnější období, zejména na rok 1862, kdy vytvořila neuvěřitelných 366 básní, o jednu více než je dnů v roce. Chronologické uspořádání básní bude stejné jako v předchozím výboru, což umožní fanouškům Emily Dickinsonové pohodlné řazení básní do jednoho celku.
Nový, vskutku básnický překlad niterně svobodných a rytmicky i rýmově vrcholně rafinovaných veršů jedné z největších světových básnířek. Vychází ze souborného vydání The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson, ed. Thomas H. Johnson, Faber and Faber, Londýn-Boston, 1984. Překlad navazuje na výbory V zahradě, Aula, Praha 1994 a Jsem Nikdo! Kdo jsi ty?, Aulos, Praha 2002 (s původními kresbami Adrieny Šimotové). Přeložila Eva Klimentová

Emily Dickinsonová (10.prosince 1830 - 15. května 1886) byla americká básnířka narozená ve městě Amherst v Massachusetts. Kromě studií a výjimečných cest prakticky neopouštěla rodné město a později v životě přestala vycházet z rodinného domu i svého pokoje. S přáteli udržovala kontakt téměř výhradně skrze korespondenci a díky své zálibě v nošení pouze bílých šatů a neochotě vytvářet společenské vazby si ve městě získala pověst výstředního blázna. Její introvertní povaha ji však vedla ke psaní poezie a její dílo - z drtivé většiny nalezené až po autorčině smrti - čítá téměř 1800 básní. Pouze minimum z nich bylo publikováno za jejího života, a to vždy upravené vydavatelem, aby se text přiblížil dobovým poetickým normám. V nezměněné podobě začalo její dílo vycházet až ve 20. století, kdy se jí také s nástupem modernistické poezie začalo díky jejímu netradičnímu stylu dostávat zaslouženého uznání.
Výbor veršů z autorčiny pozůstalosti přeložila z angličtiny a opatřila doslovem o autorce Jiřina Hauková.
Verše Emily Dickinsonové z anglických originálů vybral, přeložil a doslovem opatřil Jiří Šlédr. Výbor z veršů americké básnířky, jejíž dílo kritika nejprve neuznala za poezii vůbec a nakonec je klasifikovala jako jeden z jejích vrcholů. Hutné meditativní verše, které předběhly vývoj poezie o desítky let a které je možno číst jako básnické dílo našeho současníka. Verše, jejichž obrazy nečekaně spojují protikladné oblasti: psychologii a mystiku s prací v domácnosti, hlubokou duchovní lásku s módou a peněžnictvím, náboženství a přírodu s vědou a technikou. Poezie, která vyznává živelnou lásku k světu a k životu a která hlásá životní odvahu hraničící až s hazardérstvím.
Výbor z veršů americké básnířky sestavil, přeložil a doslov napsal Jiří Šlédr.
Výbor z veršů americké básnířky, která zachycuje v básních drobnou všední skutečnost, sleduje proměny přírody, medituje o životě a smrti a tlumočí pocity štěstí z lásky a zoufalství nad její nedosažitelností.
