From the personal library of Nathaniel Tarn (1928-2024), poet, anthropologist, translator, and a distinctive literary figure of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Educated in anthropology in Paris under Claude Lévi-Strauss and later at the University of Chicago, Tarn conducted fieldwork among the Maya of Guatemala and in Burma before turning increasingly toward a life devoted to literature and cultural criticism.
He was widely recognized for his own poetry, for his influential translations of Pablo Neruda and other major international writers, and for his role in introducing world literature to English-language audiences.
