Ariel

The poems in Sylvia Plath's Ariel, including many of her best-known such as 'Lady Lazarus', 'Daddy', 'Edge' and 'Paralytic', were all written between the publication in 1960 of Plath's first book, The Colossus, and her death in 1963. 'If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hardminded . .

. They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism, great generosity . .

. the book is a major literary event.' A. Alvarez in the Observer This beautifully designed edition forms part of a series of ten titles celebrating Faber's publishing over the decades.

Poeziile din Ariel a Sylviei Plath, inclusiv multe dintre cele mai cunoscute ale sale, precum „Lady Lazarus”, „Tati”, „Edge” si „Paralytic”, au fost scrise toate intre publicarea in 1960 a primei carti a lui Plath, Colosul si moartea ei in 1963. „Daca poeziile sunt deznadajduite, razbunatoare si distructive, ele sunt in acelasi timp tandre, deschise lucrurilor si, de asemenea, neobisnuit de inteligente, sardonice, dure. Sunt opere de mare puritate artistica si, in ciuda tuturor nihilismelor, de o mare generozitate.
