  • by Ezra Pound & H D
    £15.99

    Fin al tormento es el diario personal que llevó la poeta Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) durante una parte del año 1958, cuando su amigo y mentor Ezra Pound fue liberado del manicomio de St. Elizabeth, y regresó a Italia. Alentada por varios conocidos comunes, y por las noticias que le llegaban desde Estados Unidos, H.D., hospitalizada en Suiza, sintió la necesidad de poner por escrito los recuerdos de su relación con Pound, desde el noviazgo adolescente que se remontaba a 1905, hasta la posterior amistad y colaboración poética. Los recuerdos íntimos contados en este libro, que sostienen la certeza de dos vidas poéticas irrevocablemente entremezcladas, tienen su complemento ideal en una serie de veinticinco poemas que forman el primero de los libros conocidos de Pound: El Libro de Hilda. El manuscrito de estos poemas, dedicado y encuadernado por el propio autor, fue entregado a la destinataria antes de partir a Europa, en 1908. Se consideró perdido durante el bombardeo de Londres en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y reapareció en los años setenta. Esta es la primera traducción al español de ambos textos. (Ernesto Hernández Busto)

  • by Remy de Gourmont & Ezra Pound
    £13.99

    The Natural Philosophy of Love is an exploration of the prodigious sexual mores of Nature’s creations. Translated with a postscript by Ezra Pound, Remy de Gourmont’s “essay on sexual instinct” surveys the entire animal kingdom, describing the hermaphroditism of oysters, the cannibalistic amours of spiders, and many more curious natural phenomena. Blending zoology, poetry, and philosophy, the author’s subversive erudition casts a dubious glance at anthropocentric morality, finding “there is no lewdness which has not its normal type in nature.”

  • - A Memoir
    by Ezra Pound
    £12.49

    Ezra Pound's book on the French sculptor Henri Gaudier-Brzeska was first published in 1916. An enlarged edition, including thirty pages of illustrations (sculpture and drawings) as well as Pound's later pieces on Gaudier, was brought out in 1970, and is now re-issued as an ND Paperbook. The memoir is valuable both for the history of modern art and for what it shows us of Pound himself, his ability to recognize genius in others and then to publicize it effectively. Would there today be a Salle Gaudier-Brzeska in the Musée de L'Art Moderne in Paris if Pound had not championed him? Gaudier's talent was impressive and his Vorticist aesthetic important as theory, but he was killed in World War I at the age of twenty-three, leaving only a small body of work. Pound knew Gaudier in London, where the young artist had come with his companion, the Polish-born Sophie Brzeska. whose name he added to his own. They were living in poverty when Pound bought Gaudier the stone from which the famous "hieratic head" of the poet was made. Pound arranged exhibitions and for the publication of Gaudier's manifestoes in Blast and The Egoist. And he wrote and sent packages to him in the trenches, where Gaudier--a sculptor to the last--carved a madonna and child from the butt of a captured German rifle, just two days before he died.

  • - The Great Digest, The Unwobbling Pivot, The Analects
    by Ezra Pound
    £11.49

    The study of Chinese culture was a dominant concern in Ezra Pound's life and work. His great Canto XIII is about Kung (Confucius), Cantos LII-LXI deal with Chinese history, and in the later Cantos key motifs are often given in Chinese quotations with the characters set into the English text. His introduction to Oriental literature was chiefly through Ernest Fenollosa whose translations and notes were given him by the scholars widow in London about 1913. From these notebooks came, in time, the superb poems entitled Cathay and Pound's edition of Fenollosa's Chinese Written Character as a Medium for Poetry. But it was Confucius' ethical and political teachings--that most influenced Pound. And now, for the first time, his versions, with commentary, of three basic texts that he translated have been assembled in one volume: The Great Digest (Ta Hsio), first published in 1928; The Unwobbling Pivot (Chung Yung), 1947; and The Analects (Lun-yü), 1950. For the first two, the Chinese characters from the ancient "Stone Classics" are printed en face in our edition, with a note by Achilles Fang. Pound never wanted to be a literal translator. What he could do, as no other could, is to identify the essence, pick out "what matters now," and phrase it so pungently, so beautifully, that it will stick in the head and start new thinking.
