Ted hughes life

Ted Hughes: The Life of a Poetby Elaine Feinstein Soft cover in good condition. 2001 Synopsis: Ted Hughes is one of the greatest English poets of this century, yet his life was dogged by tragedy and controversy. His marriage to the American poet Sylvia Plath marked his whole life and he never entirely recovered from her suicide in 1963, though he chose to remain silent on the subject for more than 30 years. Many people, including his friend Al Alvarez, have held Hughes's adultery responsible for Plath's death. Elaine Feinstein first met Hughes in 1969, and she was a good friend of his and his sister Olwen's, both of whom guarded the Plath estate. She knows many of the European and America poets who so influenced Hughes - Seamus Heaney, Thom Gunn, Miroslav Holub, and knows the world in which both he and Plath moved. About the Author: Elaine Feinstein is a prize-winning poet, novelist and biographer. She was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1980 and her work has been translated into many languages. She is the author of highly praised lives of Pushkin and Ted Hughes (the first biography).

 Faber & Faber 1994 - was a library book but book and wrapper still in very good condition - by that very good looking husband of poor Sylvia Plath.   >>>   The Iron Woman  is the 1993 sequel to the popular  Ted Hughes  novel  The Iron Man. "The Iron Woman has come to take revenge on mankind for its thoughtless polluting of the seas, lakes and rivers" says the introduction to the novel. It references sexism, in that the iron woman exacts her revenge on a seemingly ignorant/uncaring male community (in the waste disposal plant) for polluting the area in which she lives; however, the book is more of an attack on society for the oblivious ways in which for many decades, a vast amount of habitats have been destroyed or on the brink of annihilation. Ted Hughes' novel is an attempt at getting people to be made aware of and respond to this. *N.B.*   If you buy more than one book from me on the same day you only pay R 6 postage on each additional book - See what else I have to offer, it might be worth your while.

Hardcover: In 1982, during the Falklands War, the Welsh Guardsman Simon Weston was robbed of his youth, his looks and, it seemed his future, when the troopship Sir Galahad was hit by an Argentinian bomb, creating a holocaust in which many men died and Simon suffered terrible burns. Simon's story is one of great personal triumph over appalling tragedy and intense mental suffering. After a period of deep despair during which he came close to suicide, Simon found the strength to confront life once again and create a new future. The first half of this volume has been an inspiration to millions. It describes, in his own words, Simon's childhood in the Welsh village of Nelson, his life in the army, the horrific events of 1982 and his attempts to come to terms with the profound physical and mental scars of his experiences. The second half is about his journey back to the Falklands and to meet the pilot who dropped the bomb on Sir Galahad so that he could come to terms with his new life. The most moving story ever told.

In this most recent volume of "MPT," Weissbort explores the changed landscape of the past thirty years, including interviews with writers of succeeding generations and a few survivors from the Herbert generation. Other features of "Looking Eastward "include a broad selection of MPT cofounder Ted Hughes' unpublished translations from various languages and time periods, and a selection of work from student translators.
