Bøger af Peter Huchel

With Brecht, Benn, Bobrowski and Celan, Peter Huchel is one of a handful of essential post-war poets in the German language. A precise observer of natural phenomena, Huchel is above all a realist whose metaphors take us deep into the social and historical landscape, into zones of devastation and despair, the zero-hour of isolation.

Peter Huchel (1903-1981) wrote amidst the political turmoil of twentieth-century Germany before the country's re-unification. His poetry has its roots in Brandenburg, where the formative years of his childhood were spent. This work covers one of Germany's finest poets.
