De la satire en France au moyen-âge
ISBN: 9781517285203 / Francuski / Miękka / 2015 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. " Le pere de la poesie moderne, Dante Alighieri, a jete sur la critique un de ces regards qui portent la lumiere. Il a divise hardiment tout le champ de la poesie en deux parts: la tragedie et la comedie. La question de forme n'est pour rien dans ce partage: chant, recit ou dialogue, peu lui importe. La tragedie n'est pas pour lui le drame; la comedie peut n'avoir rien de commun avec le theatre. Ce ne sont plus des genres litteraires, mais des points de vue philosophiques...""

The Portable Roman Reader
ISBN: 9780140150568 / Angielski / Miękka / 1977 / 672 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Romans conquered most of the known world and detailed their conquests in calm, unapologetic histories. They were a supremely urbane people who longed poetically for the farming life. Valuing toughness and practicality in all things, they turned the love poem into a cynical rebuke and wrote tragedies in which the unfathomable actions of gods gave way to the staggering cruelties of man. As the empire slid into decay, Tacitus pulled back the curtain on the perverse intrigues of the emperors, and a Roman-educated Christian named Augustine recounted his spiritual awakening in what may be the...

Although the date of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is uncertain, and we know nothing about the author, its composition is roughly contemporary with Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales in the latter part of the fourteenth century.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In the twenty-one poems of the Heroides, Ovid gave voice to the heroines and heroes of epic and myth.

The faithful Penelope wonders at the suspiciously long absence of Ulysses, while Dido bitterly reproaches Aeneas for too eagerly leaving her bed to follow his destiny, and Sappho the only historical figure portrayed here describes her passion for the cruelly rejecting Phaon. In the poetic letters between Paris...

While living a life of reckless debauchery and sexual adventuring, Rochester produced comic verse, scurrilous satires, and highly explicit erotica. His Selected Works, edited by Frank H. Ellis and now available from Penguin Classics, show him to be one of the wittiest and most complex poets of the seventeenth century.
