Cr�ticas:

"There is only one poet capable of capturing the infinite in such a small space, and, we can now add, only one critic capable of capturing the mind-altering qualities of Stephane Mallarme's 1897 poem, "One Toss of the Dice." That a family man, a high school English teacher, and a follower of fashion could have unleashed the potential of the World Wide Web over a century ago is among the many revelations in R. Howard Bloch's astonishing book." -- Alice Kaplan, author of Dreaming in French "A vivid evocation, at moments hilarious and at others poignant, of the astonishing world that gathered around the poet Stephane Mallarme...And at the center, gathering moment as the story unfolds, is Mallarme's creation of his supremely radical poem." -- Stephen Greenblatt, author of The Swerve "This was the poem that, in the 1920s, long after Mallarme's apparently obscure death, compelled T. S. Eliot to recognize that 'every battle this French poet fought with syntax represents the effort to transmit lead into gold, ordinary language into poetry.' And the rest of Mr. Bloch's beautifully clear book explains How a Poem Made Us Modern." -- Richard Howard, author of A Progressive Education "A tour de force by a brilliant scholar dedicated to the most mysterious of poets." -- Arthur Goldhammer, translator of Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century

Rese�a del editor:

The forerunner of our digital age, a French poem about a shipwreck published in 1897, with its mind-bending possibilities of being read up and down, backwards and forwards, even sideways, launched modernism. Stephane Mallarme's "One Toss of the Dice" has for over a century tantalised everyone from physicists to composers to graphic artists. R. Howard Bloch decodes the poem still considered among the most enigmatic ever written. Creating a shimmering portrait of Belle-epoque Paris with a cast of exotic characters-Napoleon III, the Lumiere brothers, Auguste Rodin, Berthe Morisot, even an expatriate American dentist, Bloch positions Mallarme as the spiritual giant of late-nineteenth-century France. Featuring a new translation of the poem by J.D. McClatchy, One Toss of the Dice reveals how a masterpiece shaped our perceptual world.

Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: New. Illustrated. In the tradition of The Swerve comes this thrilling, detective-like work of literary history that reveals how a poem created the world we live in today.It was, improbably, the forerunner of our digital age: a French poem about a shipwreck published in 1897 that, with its mind-bending possibilities of being read up and down, backward and forward, even sideways, launched modernism. St�phane Mallarm�s "One Toss of the Dice," a daring, twenty-page epic of ruin and recovery, provided an epochal tipping point, defining the spirit of the age and anticipating radical thinkers of the twentieth century, from Albert Einstein to T. S. Eliot.Celebrating its intrinsic influence on our culture, renowned scholar R. Howard Bloch masterfully decodes the poem still considered among the most enigmatic ever written. In Blochs shimmering portrait of Belle �poque Paris, Mallarm� stands as the spiritual giant of the era, gathering around him every Tuesday a luminous cast of characters including �mile Zola, Victor Hugo, Claude Monet, Andr� Gide, Claude Debussy, Oscar Wilde, and even the future French prime minister Georges Clemenceau. A simple schoolteacher whose salons and prodigious literary talent won him the adoration of Pariss elite, Mallarm� achieved the reputation of Frances greatest living poet. He was so beloved that mourners crowded along the Seine for his funeral in 1898, many refusing to depart until late into the night, leaving Auguste Renoir to ponder, How long will it take for nature to make another such a mind?Over a century later, the allure of Mallarm�s linguistic feat continues to ignite the imaginations of the worlds greatest thinkers. Featuring a new, authoritative translation of the French poem by J. D. McClatchy, One Toss of the Dice reveals how a literary masterpiece launched the modernist movement, contributed to the rise of pop art, influenced modern Web design, and shaped the perceptual world we now inhabit. And as Alex Ross remarks in The New Yorker, "If you can crack [Mallarm�s] poems, it seems, you can crack the riddles of existence." In One Toss of the Dice, Bloch finally, and brilliantly, dissects one of literary historys greatest mysteries to reveal how a poem made us modern. 15 illustrations.
