6 avr. 1922 - 'The Waste Land' - T.S. Eliot
Description:
seminal modernist text, offers a fragmented vision of a dry sterile land, where men and nature are dead. What prevails is a sense of loss, desolation and the pervasive presence of death - all alluding to the war without mentioning it. That ghostly world is the post-war one, now stripped of values and beliefs. Western civilization is now spiritually dead and waiting for some rebirth and regeneration, evoked through allusions to Christianity ....Ajouté au bande de temps:
