Five Great Odes - Hardcover

by Paul Claudel (Author), Jonathan Geltner (Translator), Jonathan Geltner (Introduction by)

Paul Claudel's Five Great Odes constitutes one of the great twentieth-century achievements in lyric poetry. Equally earthy and prayerful, perennially and universally relevant in their ecological and sacramental vision, the Odes deserve to be celebrated alongside T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets and Rainer Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies.
