Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A wonderfully sustained narrative poem, full of the resonances and repercussions attendant on the end of an era, The Donkey's Ears depicts life aboard a Russian flagship just before the battle of Tsushima, 1905. It purports to be written by E.S. Politovsky, a ship's engineer addressing his wife in letters back home. Known as 'The Trafalgar of the East', Tsushima (which, translated from the Japanese, means 'The Donkey's Ears' - a description of the twin peaks of the islands) was the biggest naval gun-battle in history. The action of the poem takes place before the battle. A vividly realized claustrophobia prevails. Life below and on deck is brilliantly detailed as is the sense of incipient doom; one man's voice (domestic, particular, yearning for wife and home comforts) pitched against the inexorable onslaught of events. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

He is Professor of English and Director of St Andrew's Scottish Studies Institute at St Andrew's University.' (Wiki) ***'E. S. Politovsky was the Flag engineer on the flagship Kniaz Suvorov, which led a Russian fleet around the world to its destruction at the battle of Tsushima in May 1905. Sometimes known as The Trafalgar of the East, it was the biggest naval gun-battle in history. In The Donkey's Ears, Douglas Dunn presents us with Politovsky's secret written verse-letters to his wife, Sophie. It touches on many places, from the famous Dogger Bank Incident, when the Russian Imperial Navy fired on the 'Gamecock' Hull trawler fleet, to Vigo Bay, Tangiers, Dakar, Gabon, German South-West Africa, Madagascar, and French Indo-China. Through the squalor, frustrations and loneliness of life aboard a battleship, Douglas Dunn gives us a portrait of a man caught in the destinies of progress, history, and geography. From the vantage-point of a new millennium, it is a poem whose imaginative sweep stretches both forwards and backwards in time.'
