The Withering World

The first translation of Márai's poems into English, in a dual-language edition. Although he is now mostly remembered as a novelist, it is as a poet and translator of poetry that Sándor Márai first made his name in the literary world. This collection, the first and only edition of Márai's poems in the English language, presented in John Ridland's and Peter V. Czipott's brilliant verse translation, offers a comprehensive selection spanning the author's whole career and exemplifying his mastery of what he considered to be the highest form of literary expression.
