Publisher's Synopsis

In the introduction to this first-ever editorial selection of Moraes's poems Hoskote proposes a new reading of his career regarding him as an early but unrecognised transcultural artist. As against the better-known Moraes who apprenticed himself to the Romantics Hoskote emphasises the less familiar Moraes who offered fierce testimony to the twentieth century's dramas of betrayal slaughter and heroism.

About the Publisher

Penguin Books

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
