Poetry. Translated from the Czech by Marcela Sulak. Compared to
Byron, Keats, Shelley, and Poe, called Lautreamont's "elder
brother" by the Czech Surrealists, Karel Hynek Macha (1810-1836)
was the greatest Czech Romantic poet, and arguably the most
influential of any poet in the language. MAY, his epic masterpiece,
was published in April 1836, just seven months before his death.
Considered the "pearl" of Czech poetry, it is a tale of seduction,
revenge, and patricide. A paean as well to his homeland, virtually
every Czech student and adult can recite the first stanzas of the
poem from memory, and new editions still regularly appear in Czech
bookstores. Unlike many of his European peers, Macha's work has
been largely ignored in English translation. The present volume
provides the original text in parallel.
