Censored Poems

Více o knize

"Marin Sorescu" (1936-1996) was so popular during the Ceausescu years that his readings had to be held in football stadiums and his books sold thousands of copies. While his witty, ironic parables were not directly critical of the regime, Romanians could read other meanings into them. All this time he was also writing "secret poems, " those he didn't dare publish. This volume is a selection from two books published after 1989, including borderline poems censored by the authorities as well as the riskier poems censored by the author. The book includes 10 line drawings by the author.
