Collected Poems I, 1944-1949 (Green Integer) (German Edition) - Softcover
Synopsis
With S. Y. Agnon, Nelly Sachs won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1966 for her great poetic achievement. Born in Germany, Sachs was forced to flee the country to Sweden during World War II, and spent her time there writing some of the most powerful Holocaust poetry of the 20th century. This book, the first of three planned by Green Integer, contains her poetic writing from 1957 to 1959, including most of the poems of her two great collections, And No One Knows How to Go On and Flight and Metamorphosis. With the publication of this book, Green Integer is also celebrating its Nobel Prize winners, which include Knut Hamsun, Henri Bergson, and Jarsolav Seifert.

About the Author
Nelly Sachs was born in Berlin in 1891, and her early work, rooted in the German romantic tradition, underwent a transformation as the Nazis rose to power. When she fled to Sweden in 1940, as she has attested, language was all she had left. She was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1966.
