The First Death is a book by Dimitris Lyacos. It is part of the trilogy. The book tells the story of a marooned man on a desert island in a sequence of fourteen poem-sections, recounting his relentless struggle for survival as well as his physical and mental disintegration. The work alludes simultaneously to a modern Philoctetes, an inverted version of Crusoe as well as the myth of dismemberment of Dionysus. The dense and nightmarish imagery of the poem, replete with sensations of hallucination, delirium, synesthesia and putrefaction have drawn comparisons to Lautreamont, Trakl and Beckett. Despite being first in the publication history of the Poena Damni trilogy, The First Death is chronologically last in the narrative sequence.

  • Der erste Tod (griechisch: Ο Πρώτος Θάνατος; englisch: The First Death) von Dimitris Lyacos ist der letzte Teil der Poena-Damni-Trilogie. Das Buch erzählt die Geschichte eines Mannes, der sich auf einer einsamen Insel befindet, in einer Reihe von vierzehn Gedichtabschnitten und erzählt von seinem unerbittlichen Überlebenskampf sowie seiner körperlichen und geistigen Auflösung. Das Werk spielt gleichzeitig auf ein modernes Philoktetes, eine umgekehrte Version von Robinson Crusoe sowie den Mythos der Zerstückelung von Dionysos an. Die dichten und alptraumhaften Bilder des Gedichts, gefüllt mit Empfindungen von Halluzination, Delirium, Synästhesie und Fäulnis, haben Vergleiche mit Lautreamont, Trakl und Beckett gezogen.

  • La Première Mort (en grec : Ο πρώτος θάνατος, en anglais : The First Death) est le dernier volet de la trilogie de Dimitris Lyacos Poena Damni. Il est paru à Athènes en 1996. Le livre raconte l'histoire d'un homme bloqué sur une île déserte dans une séquence de quatorze sections de poèmes, racontant sa lutte sans relâche pour sa survie et sa désintégration physique et mentale. L'œuvre fait simultanément allusion à un Philoctète moderne, une version inversée de Robinson Crusoé ainsi qu'au mythe du démembrement de Dionysos. Les images denses et cauchemardesques du poème, pleines de sensations d'hallucination, de délire, de synesthésie et de putréfaction ont permis de faire des comparaisons avec Lautréamont, Trakl et Beckett.
