Stephan Delbos Libros

Americký básník Stephan Delbos, který poprvé navštívil Prahu v roce 2003, propojuje českou a anglofonní literaturu skrze své životní zkušenosti a dílo. Pro jeho první uvedení do české literatury jsme vybrali dva podstatné básnické texty: "Walking to Břevnov" ze sbírky In Memory of Fire (2017) a "A Child’s Guide to Candor" ze sbírky Small Talk (2021). "Walking to Břevnov" zobrazuje konec milostného vztahu dvou postav, Osamělce a Cizinky, přičemž Praha hraje klíčovou roli. V "Dětském návodu na upřímnost" autor konfrontuje český a americký svět, oslovuje svého syna a reflektuje svou roli otce. V básních se prolínají obavy z aktuálních událostí s obdivem k drobným radostem každodenního života a vzpomínkami na dětství a osudy rodinných příslušníků. Básně přeložily Tereza Riedlbauchová a Radka Thea Otípková.

Prague has been the central, if unlikely, subject of some of the most important poetry of the last century. This diverse anthology gathers and translates into English 120 poems from 16 languages written between 1888 and 2010 which describe Prague or an event that took place there, and places those poems in a literary and historical context with a detailed critical introduction, a Prague poetry map and photos of the locations depicted. Intended as a poetic guidebook to the city of Prague for those who live on both sides of its borders, From a Terrace in Prague highlights the effects that literary movements, political beliefs and historic events have had on poets' descriptions of the city.
