{"product_id":"primal-vision","title":"Primal Vision","description":"Gottfried Benn (1886-1957) occupies a position in modern German literature often compared to that of T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound in English. This volume presents a comprehensive anthology of the author's finest work-poetry (with the German originals en face), short stories, a scene from one of his plays, essays and autobiographical writings, including a unique insight into the German intellectual metamorphosis before, under and after Hitler. And in a long introduction, the editor, E. B. Ashton, places Benn in the perspective of recent German history and gives an account of his life--a dramatic and moving story in its own right. By profession a physician, Benn was fascinated by the philosophical aspects of many branches of science, and over the years he wrote a number of extraordinary essays in which the poet's intuitive vision was accorded the utmost imaginative freedom.","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833680113869,"sku":"9780811200080","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_fae60c6a-d2ec-4591-8765-f36786d13196.jpg?v=1790892788","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/primal-vision","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
