Lucebert: The Collected Poems, Volume 1
When Lucebert burst onto the literary scene in the early fifties, he soon became a sensation. An energetic and prolific Dutch writer and artist, he wrote and published almost 700 poems and generated literally thousands of paintings and drawings in his productive working lifetime, which was to span some fifty years. This is his Collected Poems: Volume 1.

Films without Images
One of the last works by the great Swiss-French writer Blaise Cendrars, Films without Images is composed of three historical radio plays. Although Cendrars has long been championed as a novelist and poet, his reputation as a dramatist has not been well established, despite the fact that these works reached hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of listeners. Never before published in English!

HWAET!
Major modern and contemporary poets are collected as Old English translations in this unusual bilingual volume called HWAET!. With great humor and skill, Peter Glassgold shares with the reader a literary world where "petals on a wet, black bough" become "Blostmabladu on watum, blacum boge" and plums in the icebox taste "swa swete and swa cealde."

Envy
Yuri Olyesha is one of the major 20th century Soviet authors, best known for his fiction, Envy, first published in 1927. Its three comic characters--Nikolay Kavalerov and the brothers Ivan and Andrey Babichev--blunder through the Communist system somewhat like figures out of Gogol or even Samuel Beckett, creating chaos in their wake.

The Sea
The Sea, which is translated here for the first time since 1861, is a work that is part scientific popularization, part history, part travelogue, part prose poem and part autobiography. Written by Jules Michelet, who Gustave Flaubert dubbed the only French Romantic, this gripping and fantastical description of the primordial sea later impacted such divergent contemporary imaginings of the sea as Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea and Lautréamont's Chant de Maldoror.

The UntameablesF. T. Marinetti "How could one define The Untameables? Adventure novel? Symbolic poetry? Science fiction? Fable? Philosophical-social vision? None of these categories fits. It's a free-word book. Nude crude synthesizing. Simultaneous polychromatic polyhumourous. Vast violent dynamic." So F. T. Marinetti -- the founder, theoretician, and ringleader of Italian Futurism -- describes his fiction. Complete book details.
