The full range of his poetry--from classical rhymed alexandrines to "cubist" modernism, and from feverish, even visionary, depression to airy good humor--offers a challenge no translator has accepted until now.<br>Here, for the first time in English translation, is the complete poetry of a legendary twentieth-century French writer. Cendrars, born Frederick Louis Sauser in 1887, invented his life as well as his art. His adventures took him to Russia during the revolution of 1905 (where he traveled on the Trans-Siberian Railway), to New York in 1911, to the trenches of World War I (where he lost his right arm), to Brazil in the 1920s, to Hollywood in the 1930s, and back and forth across Europe.<br>With Guillaume Apollinaire and Max Jacob he was a pioneer of modernist literature, working alongside artist friends such as Chagall, Delaunay, Modigliani, and Léger, composers Eric Satie and Darius Milhaud, and filmmaker Abel Gance. The range of Cendrars's poetry--from classical rhymed alexandrines to "cubist" modernism, and from feverish, even visionary, depression to airy good humor--offers a challenge no translator has accepted until now. 757537 1992 Complete Poems total:42|5:27|4:9|3:4|2:2|1:0| 42 187 71 2 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 5 0 false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1993 Wed Aug 01 08:56:04 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 08:58:58 -0700 2007 more...]]> 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 5 0 false Sat Sep 15 09:02:08 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 15 15:46:01 -0700 2007 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 0 0 false Sat Dec 05 13:34:49 -0800 2009 Sat Dec 05 13:34:49 -0800 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 4 0 false Fri Oct 23 23:53:44 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 23:53:44 -0700 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 0 0 false Sat Aug 15 16:27:24 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 16:27:24 -0700 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 5 0 false Sat Jul 11 21:10:08 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 11 21:10:08 -0700 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 5 0 false Mon Jun 08 19:06:53 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 19:06:53 -0700 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 0 0 false Sun May 24 13:07:26 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 13:07:26 -0700 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 4 0 false Wed May 06 11:54:20 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 11:54:20 -0700 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 0 0 false Sat Apr 25 16:55:15 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 16:55:15 -0700 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 5 0 false Sat Apr 11 02:08:13 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 11 02:08:13 -0700 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 0 0 false Thu Apr 02 00:02:33 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 00:02:38 -0700 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 5 0 false Sat Mar 07 08:35:30 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 08:35:30 -0800 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 4 0 false Wed Feb 25 06:36:29 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 06:36:29 -0800 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 0 0 false Thu Feb 12 15:21:36 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 26 20:44:49 -0700 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 0 0 false Wed Jan 28 11:46:11 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 11:46:11 -0800 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 0 0 false Thu Jan 22 22:46:03 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 02:02:11 -0800 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 4 0 false Sat Jan 10 15:44:25 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 15:44:25 -0800 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 5 0 false Sat Jan 10 14:25:42 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 14:25:42 -0800 2009 356062 0520065808 9780520065802 42 2 4.45 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174051956m/356062.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356062.Complete_Poems 5 0 false Wed Dec 24 23:53:46 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 24 23:53:46 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=356062
