"Na ploskogore" - pervaja izdannaja na russkom jazyke kniga prozy Andrea Dzandzotto (1921-2011), poeta i pisatelja rodom iz italjanskoj oblasti Veneto. Nesmotrja na to chto poezija Dzandzotto perevedena na russkij, khotja i v dovolno skromnom obeme, mozhno schitat ego poka neizvestnym dlja nas avtorom. Vprochem, sam ob etom ne podozrevaja, chitatel navernjaka soprikasalsja s tvorchestvom Dzandzotto, poskolku tot uchastvoval v rabote nad filmami Federiko Fellini "Gorod zhenschin", "Kazanova" i "Korabl plyvet". Na samom dele pered nami odin iz krupnejshikh italjanskikh poetov XX veka, otlichavshijsja entsiklopedicheskimi znanijami i ljubovju k derzkim jazykovym eksperimentam, v tom chisle obraschavshijsja k rodnomu dialektu, avtor intellektualnykh i pri etom podlinno liricheskikh stikhotvorenij. "Na ploskogore" - sobranie rannej prozy Dzandzotto, odna iz ego vazhnejshikh knig, po kotoroj mozhno nabljudat v tom chisle za stanovleniem Dzandzotto-poeta. Pered nami melankholichnaja proza vospominanij, razmyshlenija na temu odinochestva i sobstvennoj inakovosti, trepetnyj rasskaz o rodnykh mestakh, ob okruzhajuschikh ljudjakh i o prednaznachennoj sudbe.PerevodchikAnna Jampolskaja

Långdikten Blickarna händelserna och senhal, som ursprungligen publicerades 1969 i en privatutgåva, tillhör tveklöst Andrea Zanzottos mest radikala verk och befinner sig - med poetens egna ord - "på gränsen mellan en diskurs som kan följa en viss logisk tråd och rent nonsens". Trots sitt ringa omfång intar boken en central plats i Zanzottos verk, såsom en extrem punkt i ett redan ytterst särpräglat och gränsöverskridande författarskap. Med avstamp i månlandningen och den psykoanalytiska Rorschachtestet skriver Zanzotto fram en språklig erfarenhet kännetecknad av på samma gång lekens hänförelse och en komplex väv av betydelseskikt.

This marvelously astute translation of Andrea Zanzotto's poetry brings one of Italy's greatest contemporary poets to English for the first time in over twenty years. The main body of this volume is a unique film poem that grew out of Zanzotto's collaboration with Federico Fellini on the film Casanova. The poem's beauty is enhanced by its presentation in the original Veneto dialect, along with contemporary Italian and English. With reference to Finnegans Wake and utilizing Fellini-inspired myth, the tri-lingual play of the poetry is rich in layers, rich in meanings. Including drawings by Fellini and illustrations by Murer, this volume also contains poems dedicated to Montale, Pasolini, and Charlie Chaplin--and the first English translation of Zanzotto's poetry on the tragedy of Bosnia-- all together in an unusual and beautiful format.Supported by the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts, Collegeof Arts and Letters, University of Notre Dame
