Nathaniel Tarn's new book opens with a biographical note on the \"Poet of Poets,\" Friedrich Hölderlin, setting the scene and introducing the doomed love of the poet's life, Diotima; it ends in the Neckar River, the river of Hölderlin's birth and death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough affairs of love and polity, Tarn speaks through Hölderlin, and Hölderlin speaks through Tarn. The French Revolution—which Hölderlin supported passionately until the Reign of Terror—illuminates our war-torn, ecologically precarious age, as the failures of our age recall those past tragedies. Line after line carries Hölderlin's hope in an ideal of a poetry that can englobe all the mind's disciplines and make a universe of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461573918956,"sku":"9780811230636","price":31.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780811230636-the-h-lderliniae.jpg?v=1774971408","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-holderliniae-by-nathaniel-tarn-9780811230636","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
