If one were to entrust the organisation of public life to the devil, he could not invent a more clever device.' Here Simon Leys translates for the first time into English an essay by the remarkable Simone Weil - philosopher, activist, mystic - which makes a case for the corrupting effect of political parties on political life, and calls for their abolition. This is a dazzling account of the perils of political conformity, written with brilliant clarity and wit. It is combined with an essay by the Nobel Prize-winner Czeslaw Milosz on the importance of Simore Weil.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1376949</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1376949</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Weil, Simone, 1909-1943]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1376949037</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Striving Towards Being]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1629273</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1629273</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Merton, Thomas, 1915-1968]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 1997 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1629273037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Letters of Thomas Merton and Czeslaw Milosz</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Captive Mind]]></title><description><![CDATA[The best known prose work by the winner of the 1980 Nobel Prize for Literature examines the moral and intellectual conflicts faced by men and women living under totalitarianism of the left or right.

Yet its difficulty and sheer variety leaves many readers puzzled or overwhelmed. The critic, scholar, and poet Stephen Burt sets out to help. Beginning in the early 1980s, where critical consensus ends, Burt canvasses American poetry of the past four decades, from the headline making urgency of Claudia Rankine's Citizen to the stark pathos of Louise Glück, the limitless energy of J. F. Herrera, and the erotic provocations of D. A. Powell. The Poem Is You: Sixty Contemporary American Poems and How to Read Them is a guide to the diverse magnificences of American poetry today. It presents a wide range of poems selected by Burt for this volume, each accompanied by an original essay explaining how a given poem works, why it matters, and how the poem speaks to other parts of art and culture. Included here are some classroom classics (by Ashbery, Komunyakaa, Hass), less famous poems by very famous poets (Glück, Kay Ryan), prizewinning poets near the start of their careers (such as Brandon Som), and others who are not--or not yet--well known. The Poem Is You will appeal to poets, teachers, and students, but it is intended especially for readers who want to learn more about contemporary American poetry but who have not known where or how to start. It describes what American poets have fashioned for one another, and what they can give us today.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C965716</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C965716</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Burt, Stephanie, 1971-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/965716037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>60 Contemporary American Poems and How to Read Them</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item></channel></rss>
