Omtale Johnny Panic and the bible of dreams
"What I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination.. If I sit still and don't do anything, the world goes on beating like a slack drum, without meaning. We must be moving, working, making dreams to run toward: the poverty of life without dreams is too horrible to imagine."-Sylvia Plath, from Notebooks, February 1956 Renowned for her poetry, Sylvia Plath was also a brilliant writer of prose. This collection of short stories, essays, and a diary excerpts highlights her fierce concentration on craft, the vitality of her intelligence, and the yearnings of her imagination. Featuring an introduction by Plath's husband, the late British poet Ted Hughes, these writings also reflect themes and images she would fully realize in her poetry. Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams truly showcases the talent and genius of Sylvia Plath. SYLVIA PLATH (1932-1963) began publishing poems and stories as a teenager and had already won several poetry prizes by the time she entered Smith College in 1950. In 1955 she won a Fullbright Scholarship to Cambridge University, where she met Ted Hughes, whom she married in 1956. Plath was posthumously awarded a Pulizer Prize in 1982 for her Collected Poems.
