"The original edition, published in 1950, won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry. This new, revised and expanded, edition contains, in addition to the introduction, an index of titles, an index of first lines, and 113 poems not included in the earlier volume."--Jacket

Carl Sandburg's poetry captures the vibrant essence of early 20th-century America, reflecting the lives of everyday people such as factory workers, hobos, and political figures. His unique style blends free verse with journalistic observation, challenging the conventions of his time. Drawing from his diverse experiences as a soldier, socialist, and reporter, Sandburg's work is characterized by its emotional depth and social commentary, offering a raw and dynamic portrayal of the Midwest and its inhabitants.

This gorgeous new edition of the first, and some say the only, genuinely American fairy tales contains a full-color, full-page plate for each of the twenty-four stories.

This second volume of unique fairy tales includes stories originally published in 1923. Each reflects the warmth of a midwestern childhood, a zest for life, and a love of the American language that has never been equaled.

More than 500 photographs of people from all over the world illustrate those moments and feelings in life that all men share. Reissue.

"One may read and appreciate the book for its scholarship and the cultural insights it offers on the pre-World War One era, but I suspect that most readers will delight in the emerging and appealing love story of Carl and Lillian. In our rather nihilistic age, "The Poet and the Dream Girl" acts as a kind of moral and philosophical tonic, making one believe again in all the possibilities for art, love, and social reform so passionately and beautifully espoused in these pages." - Dan Guillory, "Illinois Books. "

"Originally published in six volumes, Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln was called "the greatest historical biography of our generation". Sandburg distilled this work into one volume that became the definitive life of Lincoln." --Descripción del editor.

"What Sandburg knew and said was what America knew from the beginning and said from the beginning and has not yet, no matter what is believed of her, forgotten how to say," wrote Archibald MacLeish about Carl Sandburg - that most American of poets - and his connection to the American psyche.

Ertepelsko je pohádková vybájená země, ve které je povoleno vše, co jen fantazii vypravěče a dětí může napadnout. Je plná rozpustilostí, ale i toho, co v sobě skrývá každá pohádka: na konci spousty příběhů je ukryta nějaká životní moudrost, která se třeba může zdát neupotřebitelná v našem světě, ale pro život v Ertepelsku je naprosto nezbytná. -- zdroj: www.antik-klariani.cz --

Definice poezie nejsou nic nového, už to napadlo asi leckoho, taky například amerického básníka Carl Sandburga někdy ve čtyřicátých nebo padesátých letech minulého století. Pokoušel jsem se ty jeho kdysi přeložit, s tím tématem si dost užil, ale zkusit napsat vlastní definice mě nenapadlo. Asi o čtyři roky později, v roce 2021, jsem překlad pro nakladatelství Archa upravoval, dělal k němu přes čtyřicet kreseb, zase jsem si to téma dost užil, a zase mě nenapadlo zkusit napsat vlastní definice. To mě napadlo teprve o dva roky později, bez kontextu, bez souvislosti, když jsem u benzínové pumpy strkal pistoli do hrdla nádrže.

Sbírka veršů whitmanovského ražení je dílem význačného soudobého básníka Spojených států, který v letech první světové války objevil pro americkou poezii věk průmyslové techniky. Jeho básně, proniknuté obdivem k přírodě, jsou protestem proti zbožnění stroje a honbě za penězi, zároveň však pokusem obnovit, na vyšší stupeň přivést narušenou, degradovanou osobnost pracujícího člověka, ukázat radostné možnosti pospolitého života. Doslov Antonín Přidal.

Charakteristickou formou volného nerýmovaného verše oslavuje autor, představitel moderní americké poezie, zázraky průmyslové civilizace. Opájí se ruchem velkoměsta, hřmotem továren i krásou mrakodrapů. Citlivě reaguje na sociální nesrovnalosti a vyslovuje svůj zásadní odpor k válce a jejímstrůjcům. Sbírka vznikla těsně po první světové válce.
