This is a rare collection of poetry, with a total of 71 poems by 26 poets, from the French poet Sully Fudhum to the Czech poet Yaroslav Seiferts. All of these poets, who belong to many continents and speak many languages, are known to have won the Nobel Prize. Here, there are well-known poets like Yeats, Eliot, Neruda, Rabindranath Tagore, Yuan Yimenez, Boris Pasternak, etc., as well as unknown ones that Kannada poetry lovers do not know much about. Along with romantic poets like Pasternak, there are also avant-garde and post-modern poets who have searched for new images and new phrases to depict the melancholy of the modern world. The poems here, translated by the pioneering Kannada poet Gopalakrishna Adiga, have the atmosphere, temperament, and culture of different countries and languages. All poems have images that can amaze, and they open up a unique world that is the deepest and most complex of human experiences. If you look at it that way, what is here is a close-up of an entire world, emotions, and ideas that is awe-inspiring. These are poems from different countries, it is true. But in them there is a voice that says that the world is not outside us, but within us, and there is also a key to our emotional world.
