Marin Sorescu, a prominent Romanian poet and playwright, is celebrated for his plainspoken, down-to-earth style infused with sly humor. He responds to life's hardships not with grand rhetoric, but with what translator Michael Hamburger described as "ironic verse fables." Sorescu deftly navigated the political landscape by avoiding both sycophantic praise and outright dissidence, allowing irony to subtly convey his observations. While some of his plays faced controversy and were withdrawn, his poetry and theater have garnered a vast audience in Romania and internationally, owing to a universal conversational tone and a perspective marked by rueful jocularity and a quietly hopeful cynicism.






This collection is Marin Sorescu's farewell to life - a book of wryly quizzical poems composed from his sickbed over five weeks as he waited for death to take him, his testament not just to human mortality and pain but to resistance and creative transformation.
"Marin Sorescu" (1936-1996) was so popular during the Ceausescu years that his readings had to be held in football stadiums and his books sold thousands of copies. While his witty, ironic parables were not directly critical of the regime, Romanians could read other meanings into them. All this time he was also writing "secret poems, " those he didn't dare publish. This volume is a selection from two books published after 1989, including borderline poems censored by the authorities as well as the riskier poems censored by the author. The book includes 10 line drawings by the author.
Marin Sorescu, ein bedeutender rumänischer Lyriker, konnte während Ceaușescus Regime viele Gedichte nicht veröffentlichen, da sie als "interpretierbar" galten. Auch nach der Diktatur bleiben die Herausforderungen bestehen, während die Komik seiner Werke den Zensoren Schwierigkeiten bereitet.
