This book exceeds the linguistical capacity of appraisal. The intro- well constructed, cleanly written- has tranfixed an elusive Sartre that resides under the appearence of Sartre. The translation is utterly perfected to echo the nuances of Sartre's analytical style. Through Sartre's analysis, one becomes aware of the meaning of the poet. From the floating pen of Mallarme, to the analytical precision of Sartre, to the beautifly rendered translation of Sturm, including an introduction that surpasses the fragile, uninformative, existence of intro's, and stands alone as a well-composed critical essay, the english reader has been granted a gift. Without reading this, you're Sartrean perspective wobbles hopelessly on one leg. Highly recommended.
