"T.S. Eliot: An Imperfect Life" Lindel Gordon (UK)
Translated by Xu Xiaofan
"T.S. Eliot: An Imperfect Life"
Introduction to content: T.S. Eliot , winner of the 1948 Nobel Prize in Literature, a person who wants to be a saint more than becoming a poet; but he became a great poet because he could not become a saint. His poem filters out a drama with a long-destined ending from the dregs of life, presenting a coherent autobiography of the soul, sincere and direct, and more clearly than any bystander's test, and more directly pointing to the hearts of the people. His life and his works are so closely linked and created by each other. This biography is based on these statements made by the poet himself and is verified with his real life. Lindell Gordon examines the life of the greatest poet of the twentieth century, the deep valley between the saints and sinners who wandered over him. She interlinked Elliot's life with her works to understand the trials that the spiritual seeker had endured: his flaws and doubts could resonate with us who live an imperfect life.
