Worm-Eaten Time
Autor Pavel Srut Traducere de Deborah Helen Garfinkleen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mar 2016
Pavel Šrut's Worm-Eaten Time collects the seminal work of one of Czech Republic's most important living poets, in an award-winning translation by Deborah H. Garfinkle. With dark humor and surprising tenderness, Šrut's Soviet-banned masterpiece is an elegy for Šrut's fallen homeland, written in the months following the Soviet invasion. An essential addition to the canon of twentieth century banned literature, his work as a poet testifies to the power of poetry and the human spirit that can overcome the forces that would silence an individual’s will to speak the truth.

Notă biografică
Pavel Šrut (b. 1940) is an award-winning poet, essayist, writer and translator who belongs to the generation of post-war Czech writers whose voices gained prominence in the flowering of Prague Spring, voices silenced by censorship in the aftermath of the 1968 Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia. Šrut earned the Jaroslav Seifert Award in 2000 and the Czech PEN Club’s Karel Capek Prize for lifetime achievement in literature in 2012. Aside from being a poet, rock lyricist and translator, Šrut is also a celebrated writer of children’s literature. He lives in Prague, Czech Republic, where he was named Czech Writer Laureate for 2015.
