Produktbeschreibung

"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.

Autorenporträt

Marin Sorescu (1936-96) was a cheerfully melancholic comic genius, and one of the most original voices in Romanian literature. His mischievous poetry and satirical plays earned him great popularity during the Communist era. While his witty, ironic parables were not directly critical of the regime, Romanians used to a culture of double-speak could read other meanings in his playful mockery of the human condition. But later - like a hapless character from one of his absurdist dramas - the peasant-born people's poet was made Minister of Culture, in Ion Iliescu's post-Ceaucescu government.
