Wir sind - Neue Gedichte
by Franz Werfel
'Wir sind - Neue Gedichte' Summary
In "Wir sind - Neue Gedichte," Werfel grapples with themes of alienation, displacement, and the search for meaning amidst a world in turmoil. The poems, written in the wake of World War I and during Werfel's own experience of exile, express a deep yearning for connection and a sense of fragmentation. The collection explores the transformative power of art and the role of the individual in confronting the challenges of a rapidly modernizing world. The reader encounters themes of love, loss, and the struggle to find solace in a world increasingly defined by violence and uncertainty. The poems are characterized by their intense emotionality, lyrical beauty, and often explore the complexities of human relationships, societal pressures, and the search for spiritual fulfillment. They offer a profound insight into the human condition and reflect Werfel's unique voice as a poet grappling with the existential questions of his time.Book Details
