The Book of the Twelve Prophets
ISBN: 9780195132144 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This is a glittering new translation of the portion of the Hebrew Bible known as the Book of the Twelve Prophets, or the Twelve "Minor" Prophets. In the Bible, the books of the prophets are arranged in rough order of length. The present group of writings thus appears after the so-called "major" prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel), and includes the much shorter texts of Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habbakuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. At the time when all biblical books were written on scrolls, these twelve brief prophetic texts were traditionally...

Shiksa
ISBN: 9781936196418 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Slavitt's] sentences are so unburdened by the trivial or any kind of distraction, so transparent, that it would be too gross even to say that they are like angels in the sky. Because they don't just hang around in the sky like angels; they are the sky. They are not merely fluent, though fluency is hard to come by and something to be treasured; they flow as unhaltingly as a creek or waterfall. If I compare Slavitt's sentences to natural phenomena, it may be because he himself is rather a natural phenomenon: a man who writes easily, copiously, and beautifully. Kelly cherry, author of A Kind of...

The Duke's Man
ISBN: 9780810127005 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Historical fiction has long ranked somewhere just above romance novels and mysteries in the great chain of literary respectability, yet as David Slavitt points out in his humorous yet loving send-up of the genre, riches might be found in the most unlikely sources. "The Duke s Man" is, in a way, old and new a condensation and commentary and a literary mash-up. The eponymous character is Louis de Clermont, Comte de Bussy d Amboise, a gentleman of the court of King Henri III of France, and the hero of Dumas three-volume historical novel "La Dame de Monsoreau" (1846). Dumas novel serves here as...

George Sanders, Zsa Zsa, and Me
ISBN: 9780810126244 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Taking its inspiration from Sanders s own autobiography Memoirs of a Professional Cad (1960), this book is part witty, bawdy, and irreverent memoir, part moving meditation on the price of fame; like most of David Slavitt s work, it defies easy categorization. In George Sanders, Zsa Zsa, and Me, Slavitt looks back to his career as a film critic in the glamorousat least superficiallyworld of 1950s Hollywood, when he traveled in circles that included the talented British actor George Sanders (19061972) and his then-wife, Zsa Zsa Gabor, who was talented at, well,...

The Lays of Marie de France
ISBN: 9781927356357 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The twelve ?lays? of Marie de France, the earliest known French woman poet, are here presented in sprightly English verse by poet and translator David R. Slavitt. Traditional Breton folktales were the raw material for Marie de France's series of lively but profound considerations of love, life, death, fidelity and betrayal, and luck and fate. They offer acute observations about the choices that women make, startling in the late twelfth century and challenging even today. Combining a woman's wisdom with an impressive technical bravura, the lays are a minor treasure of European culture. The twelve ?lays? of Marie de France, the earliest known French woman poet, are here presented in sprightly English verse by poet and translator Da... |

Ausonius: Three Amusements
ISBN: 9780812219531 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) "Despite the resurgence of interest in the field of late antiquity, there are still too few authors from the period available in translation--and of the few who are translated, most, like Ausonius, are available only in arcane and unreadable English. Ausonius is one of the more accessible late antique writers, and Slavitt's choice of texts to translate reflects his accessibility--the Cento gives us a taste of Ausonius's bizarre sense of humor, and the Commemorations gives us a glimpse into his personal network of friends, teachers, and relatives, and into the everyday life of a...

William Henry Harrison and Other Poems
ISBN: 9780807131213 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) "A wonderfully disorienting title for a wonderfully orienting book. Deeply instructive, entirely delightful."-Henry Taylor The prodigiously imaginative mind and penetrating wit of David R. Slavitt are on full display in his newest collection of poetry that is perhaps his most engaging to date. The title poem begins by fooling around-"With three names like that, it sounds as though his mother is calling him and she's really angry"-but then builds into a shrewd, thoughtful account of the life of the ninth U.S. president. A second long poem offers a fresh and very amusing appraisal of the...

Re Verse: Essays on Poetry and Poets
ISBN: 9780810126473 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) David R. Slavitt will tell you that he does not believe in literary criticism so much as in "remarks," which are more portable and, often, more enlightening. In this witty and unusual work, he remarks upon the life of a poet in the second half of the twentieth century, how it was--and how it is--to be an American writer.
Combining personal reminiscence with deft literary analysis, incisive biographical sketches, and, sometimes, literary gossip, these essays give new perspectives on the famous--such as Harold Bloom, Robert Penn Warren, Robert Frost, and Stephen Spender--and recover the...

Broken Columns: Two Roman Epic Fragments: The Achilleid of Publius Papinius Statius and the Rape of Proserpine of Claudius Claudianus
ISBN: 9780812216301 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Broken Columns Two Roman Epic Fragments: "The Achilleid" of Publius Papinius Statius and "The Rape of Proserpine" of Claudius Claudianus Edited and Translated by David R. Slavitt. Afterword by David Konstan "With unerring instinct Slavitt has juxtaposed two witty and ironic post-Ovidian tales of coming of age, Statius's unfinished Deeds of Achilles and Claudian's Rape of Proserpina. Those were the mythical days when teenagers were charming and rape consensual (for Deidamia) or at least (for Proserpina) the path to queenly power. Epic was never the same after Ovid, whether in...
