Ara Vus Prec. Initially published in 1919, this collection embarks on a complex exploration of early 20th-century existentialism, captured through Eliot’s sharp, fragmented lyricism. This anthology, including pieces like “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and “Gerontion,” offers a piercing glimpse into the modern soul’s angst and disillusionment.
Small volume ships promptly in a secure mailer with the book wrapped in both craft paper and bubble wrap.
