A new printing of Ferlinghetti's classic. The title of this vibrant collection of poems is taken from Henry Miller's Into the Night Life, and expresses the way Ferlinghetti felt about these poems when he wrote them during a short period in the 1950s -- as if they were, taken together, a kind of circus of the soul.

His plain language and esstentially simple purp...(展开全部)

Erich Auerbach wrote his classic work Mimesis, a history of narrative from Homer to Proust, based largely on his memory of past reading. Having left his physical library behind when he fled to Istanbul to escape the Nazis, he was forced to rely on the invisible library of his mind. Each of us has such a library—if not as extensive as Auerbach’s—even if we are unaware of it. In ...(展开全部)
