Returning to his native tracts, he devoted himself to writing and eventually became one of the best-known authors of his time, his books appealing widely both to academics and to the general reader. His election to the Swedish Academy in 1949 was seen as a gesture towards a generation of more or less self-educated working-class writers, and he shared the 1974 Nobel Prize in Literature with novelist Eyvind Johnson. Sections of the Swedish press responded with such vehemence to the way Academicians had rewarded two of their own that Martinson vowed never to publish again, and his last years were darkened by despair and depression as his view of the world became bleaker. His books reflect his upbringing, his travels and his interest in science and social questions. His poetry has many strands but the one most often admired is that which combines close scrutiny of the small events of the natural world with an intense awareness of cosmic distances in time and space. While his prose books have reached a wide readership in several languages, Martinson's poems have appeared only sporadically in English. Robin Fulton's translations provide the first substantial selection of Harry Martinson's poetry for English-language readers. His edition has an introductory essay by Staffan Soderblom, was a Poetry Book Society Recommended Translation and won him the Bernard Shaw Prize for Swedish Translation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49733170626833,"sku":"NGR9781852248871","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50516740833553,"sku":"GOR004052230","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51056019243281,"sku":"NIN9781852248871","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52654337130769,"sku":"NLS9781852248871","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1852248874.jpg?v=1750768819"},{"product_id":"den-forlorade-jaguaren-rare-book-harry-martinson-1707318443bwc","title":"Den Forlorade Jaguaren","description":"1961.

He left school at thirteen and became a sailor and vagabond--a global nomad--at sixteen. After permanently leaving the sea in 1927, he began to transform the story of his life into art. He painted, wrote poetry, autobiography, fiction, drama and essays. Using imagery and language that was fresh and striking, readers found his books moving and appealing, and he quickly wrote himself into the hearts of Scandinavian readers. Today, Martinson is still a widely read author in Sweden and new translations of his work continue to find readers around the world. In this bilingual edition (Swedish and English), translator Lars Nordstrom introduces the reader to Martinson's early work as a poet. None of the sixty poems included here have ever been translated into English previously. Martinson's painting, a self-portrait entitled Portrait of a Stoker, graces the book's cover and inside is a sketch of Martinson by the Swedish artist, Arne Cassell.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51054832320785,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51054834811153,"sku":"NIN9781877655647","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52476493922577,"sku":"NLS9781877655647","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52696017338641,"sku":"GOR003772617","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1877655643.jpg?v=1751379113"},{"product_id":"aniara-book-harry-martinson-9787208105874","title":"Aniara","description":"《阿尼阿拉号》是瑞典诗人、小说家、剧作家哈瑞-马丁松的史诗式作品，包括103首诗歌。描写人类因地球受到放射物质毒害而无法居住，被迫乘坐飞船离开，迁移其它星球，但飞船最终失去控制，脱离原定航线，听任在渺无尽头的茫茫太空中坠落。《阿尼阿拉号》展示了对人类生存困境的深刻思考、对自然环境的重新关注，是一部里程碑式的作品。","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51062977495313,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51062980935953,"sku":"NIN9787208105874","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52429422493969,"sku":"NLS9787208105874","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B007UO39XY.jpg?v=1751096669"},{"product_id":"vagen-till-klockrike-rare-book-harry-martinson-1726553080alk","title":"Vagen till Klockrike","description":"1949.
