{"product_id":"primal-vision-selected-prose-poetry-9780811200080","title":"Primal Vision: Selected Prose \u0026 Poetry","description":"Gottfried Benn (1886-1957) occupies a position in modern German literature often compared to that of T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound in English. This volume presents a comprehensive anthology of the author's finest work-poetry (with the German originals en face), short stories, a scene from one of his plays, essays and autobiographical writings, including a unique insight into the German intellectual metamorphosis before, under and after Hitler. And in a long introduction, the editor, E. B. Ashton, places Benn in the perspective of recent German history and gives an account of his life--a dramatic and moving story in its own right. By profession a physician, Benn was fascinated by the philosophical aspects of many branches of science, and over the years he wrote a number of extraordinary essays in which the poet's intuitive vision was accorded the utmost imaginative freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gottfried Benn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.97h x 5.24w x 0.86d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811200080","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710666903689,"sku":"9780811200080","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_53d912c9-8ee0-4717-abef-bf565af2a4e5.jpg?v=1719541739","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/primal-vision-selected-prose-poetry-9780811200080","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
