And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.'

With these lines from T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, the reader is invited on an apocalyptic journey into a desert waste. This essential volume contains Eliot's greatest work - some say the greatest work of all modernist literature - together with his compendium Prufrock and Other Observations, as well as Poems - twelve works including 'Gerontion'; 'Burbank with a Baedeker': 'Bleistein with a Cigar'; and 'A Cooking Egg'.
