{"product_id":"e-cosi-via","title":"E così via (И так далее)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePublished in the United States in 1998, E così via (the Italian edition of So Forth) represents the final challenge of Nobel laureate Iosif Brodskij. This posthumous collection is a \"relocation of the poeticizable,\" featuring a \"bilingual\" verbal and musical arsenal where Brodsky tests himself against the grammar of another language through both original English texts and self-translations from Russian. The title serves as both a break and a promise, interrupting his body of work while implying the possibility of a sequel and suggesting hypothetical, imprecise paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin this clear but somber suspension, a \"poetic fable\" unfolds through imagery of centaurs, the wind, indifferent passers-by, and crumbling plaster. While his \"city of the soul,\" Saint Petersburg, still dictates the rules of his architectural verse, these poems increasingly encounter less clear landscapes. As the poet’s worldview shifts toward the void, the work achieves a new \"colloquial softness,\" marking a definitive \"last salute\" from one of the 20th century's greatest literary figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Iosif Brodskij (Иосиф Бродский)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Leningrad, Joseph Brodsky (Iosif Brodskij) was a titan of 20th-century literature whose life was defined by defiance and exile. After surviving the Siege of Leningrad, he was famously tried by Soviet authorities for \"social parasitism\" and sentenced to hard labor before being forced to emigrate in 1972. Settling in the United States, he became a \"bilingual\" master, teaching himself to write and self-translate poetry in English—an extraordinary feat that tested the boundaries of \"another grammar\" and earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout his career, including a tenure as U.S. Poet Laureate, Brodsky’s work acted as a bridge between the rigid architectural beauty of his Russian roots and a more colloquial, modern Western style. His final, posthumous collection, So Forth, represents this transition, where his \"verbal and musical arsenal\" meets the void with a newfound, meditative softness. He died in Brooklyn and is buried in Venice, leaving a legacy as one of the few poets to successfully inhabit and conquer two distinct linguistic worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adelphi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57332513800537,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/8716\/5529\/files\/9788845932311_0_0_0_0.jpg?v=1771507586","url":"https:\/\/lilicommunity.com\/products\/e-cosi-via","provider":"LiLi Community","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
