Benjamin Fondane's Ulysses

Viac o knihe

Set against the backdrop of 20th-century Europe, the book explores the life and work of Benjamin Fondane, a Romanian émigré who became a notable figure in Paris's literary scene. His long poem "Ulysses," initially published in 1933, reflects his evolving thoughts during the turmoil of World War II and the Nazi occupation. The revised edition showcases Fondane's unique perspective and artistic resilience as he navigated the challenges of his time, culminating in his tragic deportation to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944.
