Dao Bei

    2 agosto 1949

    Bei Dao, una voce di spicco nella poesia cinese contemporanea, è emerso come figura critica in reazione ai vincoli culturali e politici del suo tempo. Il suo lavoro, profondamente intriso di un senso di perdita e desiderio, esplora temi come la memoria, l'identità e la ricerca di significato in un mondo in rapida evoluzione. Come principale esponente dei 'Poeti Nebbiosi', il suo stile distintivo e la sua evocativa immaginazione hanno sfidato le norme letterarie dominanti. La poesia di Bei Dao risuona con un profondo umanesimo, offrendo una potente testimonianza dello spirito duraturo dell'espressione artistica e della ricerca della libertà.

      Exploring themes of exile and political dissent, this collection features forty-nine new poems by Bei Dao, a prominent Chinese poet known for his powerful voice in dissident movements. Written in the United States, the poems are characterized by complex imagery, sudden transitions, and subtle political references, incorporating elements of bureaucratic language and slang. The work has drawn comparisons to poets like Paul Celan and Cesar Vallejo, reflecting a unique approach to capturing the weight of contemporary experience. Translated by Eliot Weinberger and others, it marks a significant addition to Bei Dao's oeuvre.

      First published in the US in 1990, the year after the uprising of Chinese students at Tiananmen Square, The August Sleepwalker collects all the early poetry of Bei Dao, China's premier poet, now living in exile. The August Sleepwalker is an extremely popular book (30,000 copies sold in China in one month) which was quickly banned by the Chinese government. The collection includes all of the poems Bei Dao published between 1970 and 1986. Bei Dao has lived in exile since the Tiananmen Incident. He is widely esteemed as one of contemporary China's most significant writers. His work is experimental, and subjective, while remaining passionately engaged in the individual's response to a disordered world.

    • Ein weltberühmter Dichter erinnert sich an seine Kindheit und Jugend in Peking: „Bei Daos Leben und Werk sind der Inbegriff der Dichtung: zeitlos schimmernd.“ Ocean Vuong Der weltberühmte Dichter Bei Dao, der nach Protesten auf dem Platz des Himmlischen Friedens des Landes verwiesen wurde, erinnert sich: an seine Kindheit in Peking und seine turbulente Jugend während der Kulturrevolution, an die berauschende und festliche Stimmung dieser Zeit, an die Roten Garden, denen er sich als Siebzehnjähriger anschloss. Das intim Familiäre und das lärmend Politische, die Begeisterung und die Ernüchterung, das Feiern, auf das die Hungersnot folgt: All dies erzählt Bei Dao in seinem einzigartigen Erinnerungsbuch, in dem er seine verlorene Stadt mit all ihren Empfindungen, Gerüchen und Geräuschen aufleben lässt, „um das Peking von heute zu widerlegen.“
