Eclogues. Georgics. Aeneid: Books 1-6
ISBN: 9780674995833 / Angielski / Twarda / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Virgil (70 19 BCE) was a poet of immense virtuosity and influence.

Homeric Hymns. Homeric Apocrypha. Lives of Homer
ISBN: 9780674996069 / Angielski / Twarda / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Performances of Greek epics customarily began with a hymn to a god or goddess - as Hesiod's Theogony and Works and Days do. A collection of 33 such poems has come down to us from antiquity under the title Hymns of Homer. This volume contains, in addition to the hymns, fragments of five comic poems that were connected with Homer's name in or just after the Classical period (but are not today believed to be by the author of the Iliad or the Odyssey). Here too is a collection of ancient accounts of the poet's life.

The Divine Comedy: Inferno; Purgatorio; Paradiso (in One Volume)
ISBN: 9780679433132 / Angielski / Twarda / 960 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Divine Comedy, translated by Allen Mandelbaum, begins in a shadowed forest on Good Friday in the year 1300. It proceeds on a journey that, in its intense recreation of the depths and the heights of human experience, has become the key with which Western civilization has sought to unlock the mystery of its own identity. Mandelbaum's astonishingly Dantean translation, which captures so much of the life of the original, renders whole for us the masterpiece of that genius whom our greatest poets have recognized as a central model for all poets. This Everyman's...The Divine Comedy, translated by Allen Mandelbaum, begins in a shadowed forest on Good Friday in the year 1300. It proceeds on a journey tha... |

The Complete Poems of John Keats
ISBN: 9780679601081 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'I think I shall be among the English Poets after my death, ' John Keats soberly prophesied in 1818 as he started writing the blankverse epic Hyperion. Today he endures as the archetypal Romantic genius who explored the limits of the imagination and celebrated the pleasures of the senses but suffered a tragic early death. Edmund Wilson counted him as 'one of the half dozen greatest English writers, ' and T. S. Eliot has paid tribute to the Shakespearean quality of Keats's greatness. Indeed, his work has survived better than that of any of his contemporaries the devaluation of Romantic...

The Trojan Epic: Posthomerica
ISBN: 9780801886355 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Composed in the third century A.D., the Trojan Epic is the earliest surviving literary evidence for many of the traditions of the Trojan War passed down from ancient Greece. Also known as the Posthomerica, or -sequel to Homer, - the Trojan Epic chronicles the course of the war after the burial of Troy's greatest hero, Hektor. Quintus, believed to have been an educated Greek living in Roman Asia Minor, included some of the war's most legendary events: the death of Achilles, the Trojan Horse, and the destruction of Troy.

Digenis Akritas: The Two-Blood Border Lord-The Grottaferrata Version
ISBN: 9780821408339 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Among the epic romances of post-Barbarian Europe, such as Roland and El Cid, Digenis Akritas has been the least known in the West-outside Greece. It is the story of a half-breed prince who guarded the eastern border of the Roman Empire of Byzantium on the Euphrates in the tenth century. His name and cognomen sum up the curious richness of the heritage: Roman by politics, Arab and Cappadocian by birth, Greek in language and orthodox by faith-Basil, the Two-Blood Border Lord. On an incursion into Byzantine territory, an Arab Emir captures a Christian lady. Her relatives, in raiding to rescue...

One of the first travel journals of its kind to be published, this epic poem about Juan de Onate's entrada that led to the founding of Nueva Mexico in 1598 (to become the state of New Mexico 314 years later) is full of the hopes and dreams of those who travelled with Onate.

The Inferno of Dante Alighieri
ISBN: 9781590171141 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This startling new translation of Dante's Inferno is by Ciaran Carson, one of contemporary Ireland's most dazzlingly gifted poets. Written in a vigorous and inventive contemporary idiom, while also reproducing the intricate rhyme-scheme that is so essential to the beauty and power of Dante's epic, Carson's virtuosic rendering of the Inferno is that rare thing a translation with the heft and force of a true English poem. Like Seamus Heaney's Beowulf and Ted Hughes's Tales from Ovid, Ciaran Carson's Inferno is an extraordinary modern response to one of the great...

Annotated Ancient Mariner: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
ISBN: 9781591021254 / Angielski / Twarda / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Coleridge's greatest work, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, is utterly unique, unlike any other ballad. No narrative poem has rivaled it in combining scenes of terror with scenes of incomparable beauty. Although enormously popular in the nineteenth century, it is seldom read or studied today. This annotated version by Martin Gardner will help to renew the appreciation and deepen the understanding of Coleridge's unjustly neglected masterpiece. Preceding the poem is a biographical sketch of the great poet, which emphasizes those aspects of his many-sided life and personality that...
