Yeats Poems

A leader of the twentieth-century Irish nationalist movement, who eventually became one of the Free States's senators, William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) is also the greatest poet that nation has yet produced. The present selection includes poetry from every period in life, dealing with all the topics closest to his heart: love, death, old age, ambition, the poet's craft, and of course the history and destiny of Ireland.

Reviews

It is unsurpassed in Hemingway's oeuvre. Every word tells and there is not a word too many

—— Anthony Burgess

A quite wonderful example of narrative art. The writing is as taut, and at the same time as lithe and cunningly played out, as the line on which the old man plays the fish

—— Guardian

The best story Hemingway has written...No page of this beautiful master-work could have been done better or differently.

—— Sunday Times

A very good and varied collection, with delightful oddities

—— The Times

Unfailingly honest

—— Sunday Times

Andric possess the rare gift in a historical novelist of creating a period-piece, full of local colour, and at the same time characters who might have been living today

—— Times Literary Supplement

Just as the bridge on the Drina brought East and West together so your work has acted as a link, combining the culture of your country with other parts of the planet

—— Göran Liljestrand, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences member
