The Duke's Man
ISBN: 9780810127005 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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. 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,...

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 Book of the Twelve Prophets
ISBN: 9780195132144 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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...

Day Sailing
ISBN: 9780807811283 / Angielski / Miękka / 1969 / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume of poetry illustrates a new side of the author of The Carnivore and Suits for the Dead. The wit, the toughness, the shining lyric clarity of the earlier books are still here, but they have been joined by a quiet understanding, a joyfulness, and an acceptance of things as they are that indicates the poet has moved into a new and most exciting period.

Re Verse: Essays on Poetry and Poets
ISBN: 9780810126473 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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...

The Jungle Poems of Leconte de Lisle
ISBN: 9781941561089 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. David R. Slavitt, award-winning author of more than 100 books of poetry and prose, translates the work of Charles Marie RenE Leconte de Lisle, a French poet associated with the Parnassian movement. -To look at Leconte de Lisle now, - writes Slavitt in the book's introduction, -is to discover a sensibility strikingly similar to that of Elizabeth Bishop (with Africa instead of Brazil as his mise en scEne). In some ways, he reminds me, too, of Wallace Stevens, stuck up in the fog of Hartford and longing for the glare of the tropics ('Home from Guatemala, back at the Waldorf'). He was an... David R.

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. 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...

The Penn Greek Drama Series presents original literary translations of the entire corpus of classical Greek drama: tragedies, comedies, and satyr plays. It is the only contemporary series of all the surviving work of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes, and Menander. "A boon for classicists and general readers alike.

The Metamorphoses of Ovid
ISBN: 9780801847981 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The mark of success in a poet's career, writes David Slavitt, was an epic that might stand on the shelf alongside Virgil's. But how was a poet like Ovid, with a more intimate, livelier, funnier and more self-mocking sensibility, to attempt such a thing? The epic form was not, I think, immediately congenital, and my guess is that Ovid recognized this himself. Accordingly, he transformed the epic, playing against its grain a lot of the time, and escaping its severe organizational and thematic demands by transforming it into something altogether different. The first metamorphosis, then, is of...
