Requirements: .PDF Reader, 4.9 MB
Overview: NELLY SACHS (1891-1970) was a Jewish German poet and playwright whose experiences resulting from the rise of the Nazis in World War II Europe transformed her into a poignant spokeswoman for the grief and yearnings of her fellow Jews. She was awarded the 1966 Nobel Prize in Literature — shared with S. Y. Agnon that year — for being the "bearer of a message of solace to all those who despair of the fate of man" and "for her outstanding lyrical and dramatic writing, which interprets Israel’s destiny with touching strength." Sachs observed at the time that Agnon represented Israel whereas "I represent the tragedy of the Jewish people."

O The Chimneys: Selected Poems, including the verse play, Eli (1967)
This volume contains nearly half of Sachs’s verse and was her first to be published in English. It includes one of her most important poem sequences, "Glowing Enigmas, I, II, and III", written in the 1960s; poems from six other collections: "In the Habitations of Death", "Eclipse of the Stars", "And No One Knows How to Go On", "Flight and Metamorphosis", "Journey into a Dustless Realm", "Death Still Celebrates Life"; and the complete text of "Eli", a mystery play of the sufferings of Israel.
The Seeker & Other Poems (1970)
Following O The Chimneys, this completed the publication of her poetry. The seven-part poem, "The Seeker", was her most recent work to have been published in German. The book also includes the final, fourth part of "Glowing Enigmas" and the untranslated poems from "In the Habitations of Death", "Eclipse of the Stars", "And No One Knows How to Go On", "Flight and Metamorphosis", "Journey into a Dustless Realm", and "Death Still Celebrates Life".
