As the philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer wrote, \"Paul Celan's poems reach us, but we miss them.\" Perhaps through these rare prose texts we may find the key to what we missed.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"New Directions","offers":[{"title":"Conversation in the Mountains | Rosmarie Celan, Paul; Waldrop | Paperback | 9780811240529 | New | Literary Collections 1739351","offer_id":49161458548888,"sku":"1739351","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71S4vAoqGhL.jpg?v=1779804097","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/conversation-in-the-mountains","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
