Review # 1 was written on 2019-11-05 00:00:00 Pam Lindsey Le témoignage d'un prisonnier de la 2e guerre mondiale qui a passé plusieurs années dans la misère des camps de prisonniers allemands. Un récit sans concession, brut, froid et désabusé. Le narrateur a échappé à la mort, aux camps de concentration, à la gloire de la résistance aussi ; il est un oublié de l'Histoire, bien que sa souffrance et la blessure de ces années de captivité et d'humiliation soient palpables.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-01-07 00:00:00 HYKEEM JOHNSON It's impossible to judge poetry in translation, and I'm not a great poetry reader, but there's plenty of prose to enjoy in this fine collection of Valery. I think it might have been better if they had included the dialogue Eupalinos, or The Architect (probably my favorite thing written by Valery), but at least they had Dance and the Soul.
