Keats et Leopardi: Quelques traductions nouvelles
[Paris]: Mercure de France, 2000. First Edition, First Printing.
INSCRIBED on the half title by Yves Bonnefoy (1923-2016) to Algerian-French poet and translator Jean-Pierre Attal (1931-2014): "Pour Jean-Pierre Attal, ces poèmes de Keats et Leopardi pour le traducteur et l'ami de la poésie qu'il est également, avec l'amitié, Yves Bonnefoy." A nice association, with one translator inscribing his book to another translator.
In this volume, Bonnefoy presents side-by-side translations of poems by John Keats (from English to French) and by Giacomo Leopardi (from Italian to French).
Signed or inscribed copies are scarce to the market.
