In spite of her renown in Germany :is a distinguished poet as well as a writer of fiction and essays, Marie Luisc Kaschnitz (190!-1974) is scarcely recognized in the United States. This first book-length translation into English of her work makes available a selection of poems that dale from the last two decades of her life and that articulate, in the translator's words, the slow, painful self-discoveries that come with time and suffering." Originally published in 1980.

Erzählungen

Lange Schatten

Deutsche Autorin (1901-1974). - Die einundzwanzig Erzählungen dieses Bandes spielen in Frankfurt, in London, in Rom, am Meer und in den Bergen. Die Begebenheiten die Marie Luise Kaschnitz schildert, sind scheinbar eher nebensächlich und doch führen sie den Leser in eine Dimension des Alltäglichen, zu der er nur durch die Phantasie einen Zugang findet.

Gedichte 1958-1961

Dein Schweigen, meine Stimme

This collection of short stories, some semi-autobiographical, by Marie Luise Kaschnitz (1901-74), the eminent German novelist and poet, reflects many of the themes to be found throughout her fiction, such as the dread of moral anarchy which leaves nothing in its wake, and the shaping of individual destinies by loneliness, insecurity and fear.Usually told from a woman's viewpoint, her works feature strong female characters whose inner strength enables them to overcome their fears and accept their fates with stoic determination. Kaschnitz's chief concern is the human condition, giving her work a continuing relevance; she confronts such universal issues as growing old, growing up and the loss of religious faith as well as those which have a more contemporary resonance, including the social problems of working parents and adoption.
