With the Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer, a quiet voice was awarded the Nobel Prize, whose poignant poems measure the resonance of the last century. His verses, shaped by bright melancholy and laconic sobriety, were a well-kept secret until they were translated into many languages. "In my shadow, I am carried" contains all the volumes masterfully translated by Hanns Grössel, the late poems "The Great Riddle," as well as the biographical childhood sketch "The Memories See Me.".
