The Enormous Room
"The Enormous Room" is a vivid and unconventional autobiographical account of E. E. Cummings' imprisonment in a French detention camp during World War I. After being mistakenly suspected of espionage and treason, Cummings spent several months in a one-room barracks at La Ferté-Macé. The narrative captures the raw reality of his confinement, focusing on the diverse and eccentric group of fellow prisoners he encountered-whom he refers to as the "Delectable Mountains." Through his signature poetic sensitivity and sharp social critique, Cummings transforms a harrowing ordeal into a profound exploration of human resilience and the individual's struggle against bureaucratic absurdity. The work is celebrated for its innovative prose and keen psychological insights, bridging the gap between traditional memoir and modernistic experimentation. By documenting the squalid conditions and the dehumanizing nature of institutional authority, Cummings provides a powerful perspective on the physical and psychological toll of war. "The Enormous Room" remains a landmark of 20th-century literature, offering a timeless reflection on the enduring strength of the human spirit amidst the chaos of global conflict.

The Enormous Room
In Great War-era France, E. E. Cummings is lifted, along with his friend B., from his job as an ambulance driver with the Red Cross, and deposited in a jail in La Ferté Macé as a suspected spy. There his life consists of strolls in the cour, la soupe, and his mattress in The Enormous Room, the male prisoners' communal cell. It's these prisoners whom Cummings describes in lurid detail.The Enormous Room is far from a straightforward autobiographical diary. Cummings' descriptions, peppered liberally with colloquial French, avoid time and, for the most part, place, and instead focus on the personal aspects of his internment, especially in the almost metaphysical description of the most otherworldly of his compatriots: The Delectable Mountains.During his imprisonment, Cummings' father petitioned the U.S. and French authorities for his liberty. This, and his eventual return home, are described in the book's introduction.

Is 5
"Is 5" is a seminal collection of poetry by the celebrated American writer E. E. Cummings. Published during the height of the modernist movement, this volume showcases Cummings' distinctive and revolutionary approach to language, punctuation, and typography. The title reflects the poet's interest in transcending conventional logic, suggesting that in the realm of creative expression, two plus two can indeed equal five. Within these pages, readers will find a dynamic range of themes, from bitingly sharp social satires and anti-war sentiments to some of the most tender and evocative love poems in the English language. Cummings disrupts traditional syntax to capture the spontaneity of thought and the intensity of the human experience. His playful yet profound use of lowercase letters and unconventional spacing forces a re-engagement with the written word, making "Is 5" a cornerstone of avant-garde literature. This collection remains a vital testament to the power of individuality and the limitless possibilities of poetic form, offering a unique glimpse into the artistic evolution of one of the twentieth century's most influential voices.

Him
"Him" is a groundbreaking and avant-garde work of drama by the celebrated American poet and playwright E. E. Cummings. This surrealistic play defies traditional theatrical conventions, offering a complex, non-linear exploration of identity, creativity, and the relationship between an artist and his muse. The narrative follows the titular character, Him, a playwright struggling with his craft, and Me, his lover, as they navigate a series of kaleidoscopic scenes that blend reality with dreamlike abstraction. Throughout "Him", Cummings utilizes his signature linguistic invention and structural experimentation to challenge the audience's perceptions. The work is noted for its "three-ring circus" structure, featuring a diverse array of sketches-ranging from the burlesque to the philosophical-that provide a satirical commentary on society and the human condition. As a quintessential example of modernist theater, "Him" remains a significant and provocative piece that captures the vibrant, rebellious spirit of the late 1920s. It is an essential work for those interested in the evolution of 20th-century literature and the boundaries of experimental performance.

Über Leben und Literatur
Alexandru Bulucz bilanziert in diesem Band seine Lektüren und Schriftspuren einer Dekade: Ein Dokument seiner Liebe zu Kunst und Literatur und insbesondere zum poetischen Ausdruck. Dabei kristallisieren sich thematische Schwerpunkte heraus. Der Blick des Kritikers, der in Rumänien geboren wurde, als das Land noch 'Sozialistische Republik' hieß, gleitet stets nach dem sogenannten europäischen Osten. Autorinnen und Autoren, die er bespricht oder interviewt, schreiben oder schrieben auf Polnisch, Serbisch, Slowenisch, Slowakisch, Ukrainisch, Ungarisch, Rumänisch oder Russisch. Andere wiederum auf Deutsch, haben aber rumäniendeutsche oder ostdeutsche Biografien. Nicht selten waren sie von den Totalitarismen des 20. Jahrhunderts direkt oder indirekt betroffen. Der Kritiker sucht dabei auch nach den eigenen Wurzeln, um sich die eigene rumänische Geschichte zu erschließen - und der Lyriker in ihm hält bisweilen Ausschau nach Inspiration und jenen poetologischen Positionen, die er selber vertritt. Weitere Schwerpunkte sind jüdisches Leben und Schreiben sowie die moderne Erfahrung der Migration und Integration. Und wenn die Gegenwart den Text einholt oder diesen sogar veranlasst, dann steckt sie in tiefen Krisen: in einer Pandemie oder im Krieg.Der Band enthält Texte u.¿a. zu Anneliese Botond, E. E. Cummings, Werner Hamacher, Mila Haugová, Wolfgang Hilbig, Judith Herzberg, Franz Hodjak, Eugène Ionesco, Marianna Kijanowska, Wulf Kirsten, Ryszard Krynicki, Monica Lovinescu, Agi Mishol, Rainer René Mueller, Ronya Othmann, Dana Ranga, Tomaž Šalamun, Werner Söllner, Wis¿awa Szymborska, Alexander Sinowjew und Ernest Wichner

Modernism
An engaging, approachable introduction to literary modernism Modernism represented an astonishing outbreak of cultural innovation, spanning artforms and nations. It was centred around feelings of growing alienation in an industrial world, and a desire to change how people live together in society. Art, architecture, literature, and music all underwent a radical revolution. Although it was confined to small coteries of artists and lasted no more than thirty years, its techniques were appropriated by mass culture and became familiar to millions of citizens who have never heard of Paul Klee or Gertrude Stein. It represents one of the most productive moments in art since the Renaissance, which in its scope, originality, and imaginative audacity has never been equalled. Terry Eagleton presents a compelling and entertaining guide to modernism. From Ezra Pound to Virginia Woolf, James Joyce to H.D., Eagleton explores the literature and ideas of prominent modernists, emphasising the profound impact they had on subsequent generations.
