Footprints : Poems Selected and Translated by Anthony Mortimer (Dual-Language Edition) - Conrad Ferdinand Meyer no discountOnly edition in printThe most important Swiss poet of the nineteenth century, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer is regarded as a crucial figure in the transition of German language poetry from the Romanticism of Heine, Novalis and Eichendorff to the Symbolism of Rilke and Stefan George. In poems that took years and sometimes decades to reach a final version, he worked within a limited set of themes and images high mountains, gloomy lakes, sinister boats,
and a soaring two-story library
seen through wholly new eyes
and colour changes
At the heart of this volume that buzzes with chatter
Ethereal in its weaving of the real and the mythical
Yet when it came to rounding the tip of Cornwall
heartbreaking and hopeful
A celebration is cut short when a concerned father crashes Detective Inspector Lindsay Boxer's party
In this enchanting overview of modern physics
her schoolteachers and the friends and neighbours all around her transformed into potential informants
Bull Terrier
the birth and fate of the Universe
