Kābūs-nāmah: Zindigī, Bakhshī Nivishtah-hā va Guzīdah-ī az Surūdah-hā-yi Giyūrg Trākil Persian 2026

Georg Trakl (1887–1914), the strange pilgrim and dark prophet of Expressionism, created within his brief twenty-seven years of life a new poetic language for expressing the deepest forms of human existential suffering. Trakl’s world is a haunting convergence of sublime beauty and apocalyptic nightmare, where autumn-stricken fields, silent angels, opium dreams, and blood-red streams merge into one another.

His presence amid the carnage of the First World War drove his fragile spirit toward collapse, and from the anguish of the front at Grodek emerged some of the most enduring and harrowing elegies of modern European poetry.

This book invites readers to see the world through the eyes of a poet who witnessed the decline of humanity and the disintegration of faith, yet transformed his accumulated sorrow into poetry of singular and almost magical power. Trakl’s poetry is the echo of a human voice submerged in darkness, still singing in search of a lost light.
