Stan bardzo dobry - książka była czytana, ale jeszcze długo posłuży innym czytelnikom. Ma ślady używania - otwierania i kartkowania, rysy, zabrudzenia. Wygląda jak książka, którą wypożyczasz w bibliotece.Regarded as one of Europe s most important poets of the late nineteenth century, Jacint Verdaguer (1845 1902) provided the modern poetic foundations for the reemergence of Catalan literature after three centuries of the language s suppression by Spain s absolutist monarchs. Verdaguer s popular epic, civil, and religious verse poeticized the unique status of Catalonian tradition, progress, and history in the Romantic framework of European nation-building.
"
Selected Poems" is the first book-length translation of Verdaguer s works into English. Ronald Puppo offers readable and faithful verse adaptations of poetry from all periods of the poet-priest s life, from his days as a seminary student and farmhand to his journeys as a ship s chaplain and eventual spiritual crisis. These adroit translations will recover Verdaguer as a major figure in the modern literary tradition of the West, restoring him to the pantheon of world letters."
