{"product_id":"books-on-poets-and-others-by-octavio-paz","title":"On Poets and Others","description":"The Nobel Prize-winning poet and man of letters Octavio Paz was also a brilliant reader of other writers, and this book selects his best critical essays from over three decades. In the sixteen pieces collected here, Paz discusses a wide range of poets and writers, both American and international, from Robert Frost and Walt Whitman to William Carlos Williams; from Fyodor Dostoevsky to Luis Bunuel to Alexander Solzhenitsyn; and from Charles Baudelaire to Jean-Paul Sartre, Andre Breton, and Henri Michaux. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePaz writes, I believe that a writer's attitude to language should be that of a lover: fidelity and, at the same time, a lack of respect for the beloved object. Veneration and transgression. When this original thinker meets these writers, each essay is an adventure of the mind.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671655145745,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780856353031.jpg?v=1781516853","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-on-poets-and-others-by-octavio-paz","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
