Fifty years after Ezra Pound’s death, the Swiss/German publisher
Arche Verlag is bringing out the first complete German translation of
The Cantos, translated by noted Pound scholar
Eva Hesse (who worked on this translation for some 60 years!), edited with commentaries by
Heinz Ickstadt und
Manfred Pfister. It is a bilingual edition that comes to 1480 pages, costs 98 Euros (a bit over $100) that has garnered excellent reviews so far. Funny/strange that they would use a
Thornton Wilder quote on the cover.
