5.0 out of 5 stars
Astonishing poetry,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cuttlefish Bones (1920-1927) (Paperback)
Montale is the great Italian poet of this century, and this is his best book. English Horn is of a stunning beauty. It ends, in Italian, with the verse "Scordato strumento, cuore!". The translation is beautiful: the poetry is, definitely, not lost!

Fine translation,
By Passante (Washington DC, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cuttlefish Bones (1920-1927) (Paperback)
If you can't read Montale's stunning poetry in Italian, this is the next best thing, and for those new to Montale's work the fairly extensive notes will be very helpful. I've not read every one of the translated poems, but the ones I have read retain the poet's voice.
