A stunning testament to an illustrious career, \u003ci\u003eThe Blue House\u003c\/i\u003e gathers poems and writings from Tranströmer's fourteen collections into a single book. Original Swedish sits alongside their English translations as Patty Crane translates his words into revelatory language acute in the understanding of human change and loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSubtle in politics and exact in imagery, the poems of \u003ci\u003eThe Blue House\u003c\/i\u003e range from agile haiku to cinematic prose. Social phenomena are observed in rich detail—a \"dictator's bust\" presiding over a train car of doomed passengers—and the collection is propelled by empathy and curiosity. Under Tranströmer's watchful eye, no subject is overlooked: Milij Balakirev, the Russian composer; Nils Dacke, the Swedish peasant who led a rebellion against the king; and the stranger who forgets his name by the roadside. From the personal to the political to the existential, Tranströmer's poems act as a telephoto lens, granting us reinvigorated access to the world we live in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47487573033196,"sku":"9781556596858","price":84.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6af96a8a6681abc86cd7ab4879e85ced.jpg?v=1775773756"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/tomas-transtrmer.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
