Collected here are the two speeches Elytis gave on his acceptance of the 1979 Nobel Prize for Literature, which are still strikingly relevant today. He addresses a hypertrophic and atrophic Europe in moral chaos, with as many coexisting values as languages-and to this he offers the "common language" that is found in poetry, in art, and in their base materials of sense, aesthetic, intuition. Ultimately, his is a powerful ode to beauty amid utilitarianism, and the need for poetry as "the art of approaching that which surpasses us" and "puts us at the threshold of the deepest truth".Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GRItem Height: 205mmItem Length: 130mmAuthor: Odysseus ElytisGenre: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
