Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Waste Land was first published in 1922, in the aftermath of a world war and global pandemic. It has been translated into some 35 languages. Berkshire Publishing Group's centenary edition includes, in addition to the title poem, a number of Eliot's best-known early poems, including "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," "Portrait of a Lady," "Preludes," "Rhapsody on a Windy Night," "The Boston Evening Transcript," "La Figlia che Piange," and "The Hollow Men." The design is based on both the original Hogarth Press edition, produced by Leonard and Virginia Woolf, and the American Boni & Liveright design. In his foreword, internationally acclaimed novelist and translator Qiu Xiaolong explains how he came, as a student in China, to love Eliot's poetry and what it has meant, and means today, to readers around the world. There is also an afterword by Berkshire's CEO Karen Christensen, who worked for Valerie Eliot, the poet's second wife, as a young editor. The centenary edition is available in paperback and hardcover, ePub and PDF ebook, and in a collector's limited edition.
