Produktform: Buch / Einband - fest (Hardcover)

Benjamin Fondane was a poet, literary critic, and philosopher who produced most of his literary works in Paris in the 1930s.

Fondane also believed in the magic of poetic creativity and its incredible force as it goes beyond logic and beyond the self, and he declined the importance of aesthetics in favor of the tragic verse.
