ISBN: 9780807845745 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Portugal enjoyed one of the richest and most sophisticated cultures of the Middle Ages, in part because of its vibrant secular literature. One popular literary genre of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries was the cantigas de amigo, love songs in which male poets wrote from a female perspective. More than five hundred of these mysterious poems depicting a young girl's love for an absent lover survive today. Until now, however, they have remained inaccessible except to a small circle of scholars. In her translation of nearly one hundred representative examples of the cantigas de...

Love Lyrics of Ancient Egypt
ISBN: 9780807844687 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Ancient Egypt is often thought of as a gloomy society obsessed with death. But a collection of papyri, dating to the latter half of the New Kingdom (ca. 1305-1080 B.C.), presents us with delicate love lyrics that dispel any such illusion. These vibrant love poems, purported to be by boys and girls perhaps as young as thirteen or fourteen years of age, are remarkable for their innocent sensuousness. Combining her notable skills as a translator and a poet, Barbara Fowler provides the first accurate translation of these love lyrics into modern English-language poetry. Her renderings are both...

Vergil's Eclogues
ISBN: 9780807846537 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 65 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Best remembered for his unfinished epic, the Aeneid, the poet Vergil was celebrated in his time both for the perfection of his art and for the centrality of his ideas to Roman culture. The Eclogues, his earliest confirmed work, were composed in part out of political considerations: when the Roman authorities threatened to seize his family's land, Vergil's appeal in the form of Eclogue IX won a stay. Eclogue I appears to be a thank-you for that favor. Barbara Hughes Fowler provides scholars and students with a new American verse translation of Vergil's...
