Right from the beginning, Ted Hughes (1930-98) wrote in a way that set him apart from his contemporaries, as Simon Armitage puts it in his introduction. By the time he published his final collection, Birthday Letters in 1998, he had become a colossus on the literary landscape.
Long ago when the world was brand new, before animals or birds, the sun rose into the sky and brought the first day. To begin with, all the creatures were pretty much alike - very different from what they are now. Those that wanted to be lions practised being lions. But there were other creatures - including the whale, the elephant, the cat and the donkey - that came about in different ways!Ted Hughes' classic text is accompanied by the beautiful illustrations of Jackie Morris to bring a lyrical and witty version of the creation myths to young readers.
The streaming shape reared . . . like a sudden wall of cliff, pouring cataracts of black mud and clotted, rooty lumps of reeds. Mankind for has polluted the seas, lakes and rivers. The Iron Woman has come to take revenge. Lucy understands the Iron Woman's rage and she too wants to save the water creatures from their painful deaths. But she also wants to save her town from total destruction. She needs help. Who better to call on but Hogarth and the Iron Man . . . ? A sequel and companion volume to Ted Hughes' The Iron Man, this new, child-friendly setting will be treasured by a new generation of readers.
Fueron escritas a lo largo de un período de más de veinticinco años, las primeras poco después de la muerte de ella, y constituyen la única versión que él dio de su relación y de las dramáticas circunstancias en que ambos se vieron sumergidos y que llevarian a Plath a escribir sus mejores poemas y finalmente a la muerte. Este libro se convirtio en un best seller desde el momento de su publicacion en 1998 y gano el premio Forward de Poesia de ese mismo año.
Ted Hugues nació en 1930 en West Yorkshire (Inglaterra). Se licenció en antropología por la Universidad de Cambridge (1954), y tres años más tarde, publicó el primero de sus libros de poemas, Hawk in the Rain, que le confirmo como uno de los poetas mas importantes de su generacion, y una voz ajena a las tendencias imperantes en la poesia inglesa. Durante toda su vida, Ted Hughes hizo gala de un temperamento solitario y a veces misantropo. Vivio casi siempre en el campo, en contacto estrecho con la naturaleza que inmortalizaria en sus poemas. Su obra tiene dos vertientes: por un lado la produccion poetica propia, de la que el mismo preparo una brillante antologia en 1995 (New Selected Poems) y, por el otro, sus traducciones y adaptaciones de los clasicos, entre ellos Ovidio, Seneca, Racine y Lorca. En 1984 fue nombrado Poeta Laureado de la corte inglesa y en 1995 recopilo en una edicion de cuatro volumenes sus Animal Poems, sin duda la parte mas popular de su obra poetica. Encuadernacion: rustica.
