Apollinaire Guillaume
Alcools: Poems (Wesleyan Poetry Series)
 List Price: Price: $15.22 You Save: $2.73 (15%) DescriptionAlcools, first published in 1913 and one of the few indispensable books of twentieth- century poetry, provides a key to the century's history and consciousness. Champion of "cubism", Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918) fashions in verse the sonic equivalent of what Picasso accomplishes in his cubist works: simultaneity. Apollinaire has been so influential that without him there would have been no New York School of poetry and no Beat Movement. This new translation reveals his complex, beautiful, and wholly contemporary poetry. Printed with the original French on facing pages, this is the only version of this seminal work of French Modernism currently available in the United States.
Calligrammes: Poems of Peace and War (1913-1916), A Bilingual Edition
 List Price: Price: $24.87 You Save: $5.08 (17%) DescriptionA fully annotated, bilingual edition, Calligrammes is a key work not only in Apollinaire's own development but in the evolution of modern French poetry. Apollinaire--Roman by birth, Polish by name (Wilhelm-Apollinaris de Kostrowitski), Parisian by choice--died at thirty-eight in 1918. Nevertheless, he became one of the leading figures in twentieth-century poetry, a transitional figure whose work at once echoes the Symbolists and anticipates the work of the Surrealists.
Amorous Exploits Of A Young Rakehell
 List Price: Price: $11.42 You Save: $8.53 (43%) DescriptionApollinaire's account of a 15-year-old budding libertine's summer on the farm, where he congresses with maids, servants, passersby, an aunt and finally a sister, while outside the manor peasants go for creatures of the four-legged variety, is a classic unparalleled in its content, brevity and wit.
Alcools (Dodo Press)
 List Price: Price: $7.83 You Save: $5.16 (40%) DescriptionGuillaume Apollinaire, pseudonyme de Wilhelm Albert Wlodzimierz Apollinary de Waz-Kostrowicki (1880-1918), est un des principaux poètes français du début du XXe siècle, auteur notamment du Pont Mirabeau. Il pratique le calligramme (terme de son invention désignant ses poèmes écrits en forme de dessins et non de forme classiques en vers et strophes). Il est le chantre de toutes les avant-gardes artistiques, notamment le cubisme, poète et théoricien de L’Esprit Nouveau, et précurseur du surréalisme dont il a forgé le nom. Entre 1902 et 1907, il travaille pour divers organismes boursiers et commence à publier contes et poèmes dans des revues. Autres titles de cet auteur sont: L’Hérésiarque et Cie (1910), Alcools (1913) et Les Trois Don Juan (1914).
The Eleven Thousand Rods
 List Price: Price: $8.31 You Save: $5.64 (40%) DescriptionDebauched aristocrat Mony Vibescu and a circle of his fellow sybarites blaze a trail of uncontrollable lust, bloody cruelty and depravity across the streets of Europe in Apollinaire's classic erotic novel. Written in 1906 after Apollinaire's researches at the Enfer section of the Bibliotheque Nationale in which he encountered the suppressed works of De Sade, Restif de la Bretonne and Andrea de Nerciat, The Eleven Thousand Rods is a startling modern response to these 'old masters' of erotica. This is the full, uncensored edition.Apollinaire Guillaume News
