""Antes de su muerte, Joseph Brodsky agrupó en este volumen sus últimos ensayos. Ya sea en forma de evocación autobiográfica, de carta, de comentario de texto o de discurso (incluido el de recepción del premio Nobel de Literatura), las piezas de este libro constituyen, ante todo, una invitación al diálogo. Al hilo de este diálogo rememora Brodsky sus años de infancia en una Unión Soviética invadida de fetiches occidentales, o los tiempos sórdidos de la guerra fría a través de la figura de un doble espía; repasa sín concesiones el mito del escritor exiliado o el del supuesto donjuanismo de los poetas; aborda de forma incisiva, y a menudo provocadora, cuestiones como la creatividad, la poesía, la historia, los viajes o el aburrimiento; e incluye unos inolvidables análisis de la obra y de la personalidad de Rilke, Frost, Hardy, Spender, Horacio o Marco Aurelio. Conjugando inteligencia, originalidad, lirismo y humor, estos ensayos son verdaderas piezas literarias en las que el poeta nos propone una indagación personalísima sobre los temas últimos de la existencia: el tiempo, lo infinito y lo finito, la lengua, el azar y la muerte. En palabras del propio Brodsky, contra las penalidades i la vulgaridad de la vida no existen más antídotos que la duda y el buen gusto. Del dolor y la razón consigue hacernos partícipes de tales cualidades al convertirnos en interlocutores privilegiados del autor."--Contratapa."
""Dolore e ragione" apparve a New York nel 1995, poche settimane prima della scomparsa dell'autore, offrendosi così, inevitabilmente, come opera testamentaria. Di fatto, leggendo i tre grandi saggi su Frost, Hardy e Rilke, che fanno da perno al libro, risulta difficile immaginare un grado ulteriore di tensione. Se si uniscono i saggi qui presentati a quelli su W. H. Auden e Marina Cvetaeva pubblicati in precedenza, si intravede un paesaggio della poesia moderna nuovo, ben più convincente di quelli offerti in varie scuole accademiche."
"Essays van de Russisch-Amerikaanse dichter (1940-1996) over ballingschap en cultuurhistorische en literaire thema's."
"On Grief and Reason is the second volume of Joseph Brodsky's essays, and the first to be published since he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1987. In addition to his Nobel lecture, the volume includes essays on the condition of exile, the nature of history, the art of reading, and the idea of the poet as an inveterate Don Giovanni, as well as a homage to Marcus Aurelius and an appraisal of the case of the double agent Kim Philby (the last two were selected for inclusion in the annual Best American Essays volume). The title essay is a consideration of the poetry of Robert Frost, and the book also includes a fond appreciation of Thomas Hardy, a "Letter to Horace", a close reading of Rilke's poem "Orpheus. Eurydice. Hermes", and a memoir of Stephen Spender. Among the other essays are Mr. Brodsky's open letter to Czech President Vaclav Havel and his "immodest proposal" for the future of poetry, an address he delivered while serving as U.S. Poet Laureate. In his Nobel lecture, Mr. Brodsky declared that "verse really does, in Akhmatova's words, grow from rubbish; the roots of prose are no more honorable"--But his own prose's flowering in these essays gives us thought and language at their noblest."@en
