The Four Quartets is a series of four poems by T.S. Eliot, published individually from 1936 to 1942, and in book form in 1943; it was considered by Eliot himself to be his finest work. Each of the quartets has five "movements" and each is titled by a place name -- BURNT NORTON (1936), EAST COKER (1940), THE DRY SALVAGES (1941), and LITTLE GIDDING (1942). Eliot's insights into the cyclical nature of life are revealed through themes and images woven throughout the four poems. Spiritual, philosophical, and personal themes emerge through symbolic allusions and literary and religious references from both Eastern and Western thought. The work addresses the connections of the personal and historical present and past, spiritual renewal, and the very nature of experience; it is considered the poet's clearest exposition of his Christian beliefs.

I versi dedicati dal grande poeta Thomas Stearns Eliot a Macavity, Mister Mistofele, Brunero, Vecchio Deuteronomio e a parecchi altri gatti nacquero negli anni Trenta e furono inseriti nelle lettere che il poeta scriveva ai suoi figliocci. Furono riuniti nel 1939 in questa raccolta dal titolo "The Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats" e oggi, in occasione del 70° anniversario dalla pubblicazione, il libro, tradotto da Roberto Sanesi, è impreziosito dalle illustrazioni di Axel Scheffler, celebre in tutto il mondo per aver dato un volto al Gruffalò, protagonista di un album pubblicato in tutto il mondo.
