«La terra desolata. Testo inglese a fronte» is T. S. Eliot's modernist poem, published by Rizzoli in paperback (219 pages, bilingual edition).
The poem, originally composed in 1922, builds a desolate and fragmentary landscape through images, quotations and voices from the literary tradition. At its heart lie spiritual aridity, memory and the crisis of Western culture, assembled in a montage of dissonant registers that marked subsequent poetry.
Introduction, translation and notes by Alessandro Serpieri. Includes the text of the poem's first draft.
For readers of modern poetry, literature students and anyone seeking an annotated edition of a key modernist work.
