Private moments are captured in ‘Waking’, on the joys of discovering the unexpected in a lover, and ‘Birthday’, on a mother’s concern for her son, while ‘Encounter’ depicts an unexpected meeting with Hemingway in Copenhagen. ‘The Companion’ and ‘Party Card’ show war from a child’s eye, whether playing while oblivious to German bombs falling nearby or discovering a fatally wounded soldier in the forest, while Yevtushenko’s famous poem, ‘Babiy Yar’, is an angry exposé of the Nazi massacre of the Jews of Kiev.","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44635733000419,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780140424775","price":102.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/getimage_d4760a85-8155-4668-9171-0f20e65740a1.jpg?v=1735227171","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/products\/yevtushenko-selected-poems-9780140424775","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
