{"product_id":"light-within-the-shade","title":"Light Within the Shade","description":"The   pure verbal energy characterizing Hungarian poetry may be regarded as one of the most striking components of Hungarian culture. More   than 800 years ago, under the inspiration of classical and medieval Latin   poetry, Hungarian poets began to craft a rich chain of poetic designs, much of it in response to the country’s cataclysmic history. With precision,   depth, and great intensity, these verses give accounts of their authors’ vision   of themselves as participants in history and their most personal experience   in the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLight within the Shade\u003c\/i\u003e includes 135 of the most important   Hungarian poems ranging from the fourteenth to the twenty-first century.   Organized in chronological order, the poems are followed by an essay by Ozsváth providing the historical, biographical, and cultural background of the   poets and the poetry. The book concludes with Turner’s essay on the special thematic and literary qualities of Hungarian poetry, as well as notes   on translation practices. This essential volume exposes English-speaking   readers to Hungarian poetry’s artistic achievement in history and culture,   its evolutionary development as a tradition, and its significance within   the context of world literature.","brand":"Syracuse University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56709129699672,"sku":"9780815611462","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/light-within-the-shade","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
