Robin Skelton Bücher
Robin Skelton war ein Schriftsteller und Dichter. Unter dem Pseudonym Georges Zuk erforschte er tiefere psychologische und existenzielle Fragen, wobei er sich oft auf Themen wie Identität und die Innenwelt des Individuums konzentrierte. Sein Werk zeichnet sich durch eine introspektive Perspektive und den Wunsch aus, verborgene Motivationen menschlichen Handelns aufzudecken. Als Georges Zuk bot er den Lesern eine einzigartige Perspektive auf die Komplexität der menschlichen Seele.

Auden, Day, Lewis, Spender, MacNeice and the other key poets of the 'Thirties' were children of the First World War, obsessed by war and by communalism, by the class-struggle and a passionate belief in poets as people whose actions are as publically important as their poems. For them, the Spanish Civil War epitomized the mood of the times, as their symbolic obsessions were transmuted into tragic reality. But from within their strongly defined unity of ideals, an astonishingly varied body of poetry emerged. Robin Skelton has arranged the poetry to make an illuminating 'critical essay' of the period, and in his introduction he brilliantly probes the moods and mores of an intensely troubled and creative decade.
