Book Synopsis Kavafis. Poesie e prose by : Konstantinos Kavafis
Download or read book Kavafis. Poesie e prose written by Konstantinos Kavafis and published by Bompiani. This book was released on 2021-06-23 with total page 2905 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NON DISPONIBILE PER KINDLE E-INK, PAPERWHITE, OASIS. Per la prima volta vengono pubblicate tutte le poesie di Konstantinos Kavafis (comprese le Poesie incompiute , mai edite in italiano) assieme alle sue prose più significative. Un volume – con il testo greco a fronte, corredato di ampi commenti, indici e una sezione iconografica – che permetterà di cogliere i molteplici aspetti di una straordinaria esperienza letteraria. Kavafis non volle mai raccogliere le sue poesie tutte assieme – ora annotate e tradotte da Renata Lavagnini, internazionalmente riconosciuta come una delle più importanti studiose del poeta greco – preferendo diffonderle di volta in volta in fogli volanti, su cui poteva intervenire con correzioni e varianti. Solo dopo la sua morte (quando ormai aveva acquisito, non senza contrasti, fama e riconoscimenti nell’ambiente letterario alessandrino e ad Atene) le 154 poesie edite furono riunite in volume nel 1935. Ma la sua opera è assai più vasta. Se le poesie giovanili, apparse su riviste e almanacchi tra il 1886 e 1898, vennero messe da parte e implicitamente rinnegate ( Poesie rifiutate ), altre furono portate avanti nel tempo ma abbandonate nel cassetto ( Poesie nascoste , 1884-1923). Su altre ancora continuò a lavorare fino alla fine, lasciandole in stato di abbozzo ( Poesie incompiute , 1918-1932). Kavafis parla direttamente al lettore di oggi. E anche in quelle poesie in cui sono più presenti i riferimenti colti (specialmente quelli storici, attinti al mondo greco, ellenistico e bizantino al quale consapevolmente apparteneva come epigono) è possibile cogliere messaggi di grande attualità. Nelle sue Prose – finalmente raccolte, per i lettori italiani, con accurata competenza dallo specialista Cristiano Luciani – si delinea una figura di intellettuale ed erudito, sempre in dialogo con gli autori e i temi più presenti del suo tempo: riflessioni che costituiscono la premessa e lo sfondo necessari per comprendere ciò che l’opera poetica lascia spesso solo intuire.

Book Synopsis The Return of Ulysses by : Edith Hall
Download or read book The Return of Ulysses written by Edith Hall and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-30 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether they focus on the bewitching song of the Sirens, his cunning escape from the cave of the terrifying one-eyed Cyclops, or the vengeful slaying of the suitors of his beautiful wife Penelope, the stirring adventures of Ulysses/Odysseus are amongst the most durable in human culture. The picaresque return of the wandering pirate-king is one of the most popular texts of all time, crossing East-West divides and inspiring poets and film-makers worldwide. But why, over three thousand years, has the Odyssey's appeal proved so remarkably resilient and long-lasting? In her much-praised book Edith Hall explains the enduring fascination of Homer's epic in terms of its extraordinary susceptibility to adaptation. Not only has the story reflected a myriad of different agendas, but - from the tragedies of classical Athens to modern detective fiction, film, travelogue and opera - it has seemed perhaps uniquely fertile in generating new artistic forms. Cultural texts as diverse as Joyce's Ulysses, Suzanne Vega's Calypso, Monteverdi's Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria, the Coen Brothers' O Brother Where Art Thou?, Daniel Vigne's Le Retour de Martin Guerre and Anthony Minghella's Cold Mountain all show that Odysseus is truly a versatile hero. His travels across the wine-dark Aegean are journeys not just into the mind of one of the most brilliantly creative of all the ancient Greek writers. They are as much a voyage beyond the boundaries of a narrative which can plausibly lay claim to being the quintessential global phenomenon.

Book Synopsis The Collected Poems by : C. P. Cavafy
Download or read book The Collected Poems written by C. P. Cavafy and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-10-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'a Greek gentleman in a straw hat, standing absolutely motionless at a slight angle to the universe' E. M. Forster E. M. Forster's description of C. P. Cavafy (1863-1933) perfectly encapsulates the unique perspective Cavafy brought to bear on history and geography, sexuality and language in his poems. Cavafy writes about people on the periphery, whose religious, ethnic and cultural identities are blurred, and he was one of the pioneers in expressing a specifically homosexual sensibility. His poems present brief and vivid evocations of historical scenes and sensual moments, often infused with his distinctive sense of irony. They have established him as one of the most important poets of the twentieth century. This volume presents the most authentic Greek text of the 154 authorized poems ever published, together with a new English translation that conveys the accent and rhythm of Cavafy's individual tone of voice. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Book Synopsis Selected Poems by : Giuseppe Ungaretti
Download or read book Selected Poems written by Giuseppe Ungaretti and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-04 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major new translation of one of Italy's greatest modern poets Giuseppe Ungaretti (1888-1970) was a pioneer of the Modernist movement in Italian poetry and is widely regarded as one of the leading Italian poets of the twentieth century. His verse is renowned and loved for its powerful insight and emotion, and its exquisite music. Yet, unlike many of his peers, Ungaretti has never been adequately presented to English readers. This large bilingual selection, translated with great sensitivity and fidelity by Andrew Frisardi, captures Ungaretti in all of his phases: from his early poems, written in the trenches of northern Italy during World War I, to the finely crafted erotic and religious poetry of his second period, to the visceral, elegiac poetry of the years following the death of his son and the occupation of Rome during World War II, to the love poems of the poet's old age. Frisardi's in-depth introduction details the world in which Ungaretti's work took shape and exerted its influence. In addition to the poet's own annotations, an autobiographical afterword, "Ungaretti on Ungaretti," further illuminates the poet's life and art. Here is a compelling, rewarding, and comprehensive version of the work of one of the greatest modern European poets.
Download or read book Variable Star written by Vittorio Sereni and published by Guernica Editions. This book was released on 1999 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the text, the poet's discourse centres on 'variations' of a few fundamental themes, among which predominates, from the very first poem, the theme of death. This poetry tends to resolve itself into an oscillatory movement of lights and shadows, a movement which on the one hand reflects the changeability of reality -- it is not by chance that Sereni inserts on the inside cover, in an almost programmatic way, this line from Montaigne: 'Fluctuating and changeable life' -- and on the other, the contrasts and changes in the poet's spirit.
Book Synopsis Complete Poems of C. P. Cavafy by : C.P. Cavafy
Download or read book Complete Poems of C. P. Cavafy written by C.P. Cavafy and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2012-05-22 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary literary event: Daniel Mendelsohn’s acclaimed two-volume translation of the complete poems of C. P. Cavafy—including the first English translation of the poet’s final Unfinished Poems—now published in one handsome edition and featuring the fullest literary commentaries available in English, by the renowned critic, scholar, and international best-selling author of The Lost. No modern poet so vividly brought to life the history and culture of Mediterranean antiquity; no writer dared break, with such taut energy, the early-twentieth-century taboos surrounding homoerotic desire; no poet before or since has so gracefully melded elegy and irony as the Alexandrian Greek poet Constantine Cavafy (1863–1933). Whether advising Odysseus on his return to Ithaca or confronting the poet with the ghosts of his youth, these verses brilliantly make the historical personal—and vice versa. To his profound exploration of longing and loneliness, fate and loss, memory and identity, Cavafy brings the historian’s assessing eye along with the poet’s compassionate heart. After more than a decade of work and study, Mendelsohn—a classicist who alone among Cavafy’s translators shares the poet’s deep intimacy with the ancient world—gives readers full access to the genius of Cavafy’s verse: the sensuous rhymes, rich assonances, and strong rhythms of the original Greek that have eluded previous translators. Complete with the Unfinished Poems that Cavafy left in drafts when he died—a remarkable, hitherto unknown discovery that remained in the Cavafy Archive in Athens for decades—and with an in-depth introduction and a helpful commentary that situates each work in a rich historical, literary, and biographical context, this revelatory translation is a cause for celebration: the definitive presentation of Cavafy in English.
Download or read book On Modern Poetry written by Guido Mazzoni and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guido Mazzoni tells the story of poetry's revolution in the modern age. The chief transformation was the rise of the lyric as it is now conceived: a genre in which a first-person speaker talks about itself. Mazzoni argues that modern poetry embodies the age of the individual and has wrought profound changes in the expectations of readers.
