Die Gedichte Robert Frosts (1874-1963) gehören nicht nur zum festen Bestand amerikanischer Lyrik der Moderne, sie haben ihren Platz in der Weltliteratur gefunden. Der vorliegende Band macht den deutschen Lesern die bekanntesten, die kanonisch gewordenen Gedichte von Robert Frost zugänglich wie "Rast am Wald an einem verschneiten Tag" oder "Der nicht genommene Weg". Frost hat sich um einen natürlichen, organischen Sprachfluss bemüht und sich zugleich stets dem freien Vers widersetzt, die Gedichte suchen die Nähe zur gesprochenen Sprache und halten doch an der Besonderheit dichterischer Sprache fest. Die Natur, die äußere und die innere des Menschen, hat Frost fasziniert, der als Farmer gleichzeitig einen unsentimentalen Blick auf sie hatte. Aber auch die menschliche Natur zeigt sich in allen ihren Feinheiten und Brüchen, so Frost, besonders dem Dichter. So ist seine Lyrik in ihrer klassischen Schönheit auch eine Begegnung mit uns selbst. Die Texte folgen der Ausgabe The Poetry of Robert Frost. "Robert Frost, richtig. Das ist wunderschön. 'And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.'" Helmut Schmidt
Robert Frost Bücher
Robert Frost zählt zu den beliebtesten amerikanischen Dichtern des 20. Jahrhunderts, bekannt für seine kernige, launische und schlichte, doch tiefgründige Lyrik. Frost prägte die moderne Vorstellung von Neuengland durch seine pastoralen Bilder, die oft in traditionellen Reimen und Metren gehalten waren, was einen starken Kontrast zum damaligen freien Vers bildete. Seine charakteristische, sparsame Stimme untersuchte Themen wie Isolation, Natur und menschliche Entscheidungen und formte ein bleibendes Bild des Landlebens. Seine Werke sprechen Leser durch ihre Zugänglichkeit und tiefen philosophischen Untertöne an, was seinen Status als bleibende Figur der amerikanischen Literatur festigt.

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference."These deceptively simple lines from the title poem of this collection suggest Robert Frost at his most representative: the language is simple, clear and colloquial, yet dense with meaning and wider significance. Drawing upon everyday incidents, common situations and rural imagery, Frost fashioned poetry of great lyrical beauty and potent symbolism. Originally published in 1916 under the title Mountain Interval.
