The Song of Roland
ISBN: 9780140445329 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On 15 August 778, Charlemagne's army was returning from a successful expedition against Saracen Spain when its rearguard was ambushed in a remote Pyrenean pass. Out of this skirmish arose a stirring tale of war, which was recorded in the oldest extant epic poem in French.

Poems and Letters : Selections, with the 1550 Vasari Life
ISBN: 9780140449563 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) is universally celebrated as one of the greatest artists of all time, yet iconic Renaissance creator was also a prolific and gifted poet.

Michelangelo's later religious poetry moves away from his earlier wordly concerns, while his...

And memory comes back to remind us of the laws and experiences of... This newest collection of poems from Toma alamun is exuberant, ambitious, and full of surprises.

Baudelaire and Le Spleen de Paris
ISBN: 9780198158394 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The collection of prose poems known as Le Spleen de Paris is an important, puzzling, and yet relatively neglected area of Baudelaire's work. This is the first study in English that is exclusively concerned with these texts. Approaching the poems chronologically, Hiddleston focuses primarily on the position of the artist and his attitude towards his art, the often enigmatic and contradictory moral message the poems purpose to convey and, above all, the relationship between prose and poetry in this hybrid and, by the poet's own admission, "dangerous" genre.

Unfolding Mallarme provides a coherent account of Mallarme's poetic developments from his earliest verse to his final masterpiece, "Un coup de Des."
