Peter Szondi's "Celan Studies" marked the beginning of critical
work on Paul Celan, the most important German poet of the second
half of the twentieth century.
The book's three studies each concentrate on a different Celan
poem. "The Poetry of Constancy: Paul Celan's Translation of
Shakespeare's Sonnet 105" investigates a historical turn from a
poetry that claims to present its object to a poetry that only
promises to do so. "Reading 'Engfuhrung'" follows the movement of
poetic language into territory undisclosed to epistemic reason.
"Eden" addresses "Du liegst," a poem on the murder of Rosa
Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht; Szondi actually was with Celan when
the poem was written. It analyzes the relation between the
historical facts to which a poem refers and its composition.
The book contains, as appendixes, Szondi's notes for three more
projected studies of Celan poems, left unwritten at the time of his
death in 1971.

The Surviving Image, originally published in French in 2002, is the
result of Georges Didi-Huberman’s extensive research into the
life and work of foundational art historian Aby Warburg. Warburg
envisioned an art history that engaged with anthropology,
psychoanalysis, and philosophy in order to understand the
“life” of images. Drawing on a wide range of Warburg’s
unpublished letters and diaries, Didi-Huberman demonstrates
unequivocally the complexity and importance of Warburg’s ideas
and the ways in which his legacy was both distorted and diffused as
art history became a “humanistic” discipline. The Surviving
Image takes Warburg as its main subject but also addresses broader
questions regarding art historians’ conceptions of time, memory,
and symbols and the relationship between art and the rational and
irrational forces of the psyche. Faithfully and thoughtfully
translated by Harvey Mendelsohn, this first English-language
edition of Didi-Huberman’s masterful study of Warburg is a
stirring and significant treatise on the philosophical nature of
art history.
