The poems of the Poetic Edda have waited a long time for a modern English translation that would do them justice. Here it is at last (Odin be praised!) and well worth the wait. These amazing texts from a 13th-century Icelandic manuscript are of huge historical, mythological, and literary importance, containing the lion's share of information that survives today about the gods and heroes of pre-Christian Scandinavians, their unique vision of the beginning and end of the world, etc.

Many masters employed the form of the sonnet, including Petrarch, Spenser, Shakespeare, Keats, and Robert Bridges. However, the most celebrated, and oft quoted, examples are to be found in the collection by Shakespeare, first published in 1609. In the 154 poems, Shakespeare surveys and dissects the subject of love in all its guises, and its relationship with youth, age, illness, death, and memory.

By any measure, Gary Snyder is one of the greatest poets in America in the last century.

"Wer sich selbst und andere kennt, wird auch hier erkennen: Orient und Okzident sind nicht mehr zu trennen." Dieser eine Vers in Goethes Gedichtband drückt aus, was der Autor in seiner Gedichtsammlung versucht: eine Hochzeit zwischen der Kultur des Abend- und des Morgenlandes. Inspiriert von der Lektüre von Hafis’ "Diwan" ist Goethes Werk nicht nur eine lyrische Entfaltung tiefer Gefühle und Gedanken, sondern auch eine Hommage an den persischen Seelenverwandten.

The Iliad is one of the two great epics of Homer, and is typically described as one of the greatest war stories of all time, but to say the Iliad is a war story does not begin to describe the emotional sweep of its action and characters: Achilles, Helen, Hector, and other heroes of Greek myth and history in the tenth and final year of the Greek siege of Troy.

The Aeneid is one of the greatest works in all of world literature. It is filled with mythology, history, and archaeology; it is infused with patriotism, religious feeling, and pathos; it is rich in adventure and romance. As the story begins, a storm shipwrecks Aeneas and his Trojan followers near Carthage in North Africa. There, Aeneas falls in love with Dido, queen of Carthage. But the gods order him to leave for Italy. In despair, Dido commits suicide. Upon finally reaching Italy, Aeneas goes down into the lower world and learns about his future descendants, the Romans.

Abordant les thèmes de la nature, de la vie et de la mort, la magnifique poésie de Paul Valéry invite le lecteur à l'introspection, à la découverte de son soi intérieur. Chacune de ses poésies, qu'elles soient longues ou courtes, font de ce recueil la marque de l'un de nos plus grands poètes.

Le XVIIème siècle se partage entre baroque et classicisme. La poésie baroque (Théophile de Viau, Tristan Lhermite) affirme quelques principes communs: goût de la sensualité, des extrêmes, de l'ornementation, du language à effets, avec une prédilection de la forme sur le fond; on privilégie les sentiments sur la raison. L'avènement du pouvoir royal absolu avec ses poètes de cour entraîne un rejet des excès du baroque et, avec Malherbe, une stricte codification de la versification.

Los Sonetos (Sonnets) de Shakespeare son un conjunto de poemas bajo la forma estrófica del soneto inglés en los que se tratan temas tales como el amor, la belleza, la política y la mortalidad. Originalmente los sonetos tienen el mismo estilo de composición poética. Se componen de tres cuartetos endecasílabos, independientes de rima entre sí, y un dístico pareado con los que finaliza el soneto. En su traducción al Español se ha buscado una medida poética con la musicalidad necesaria para respetar al máximo el verso original.

Homer is one of the most important figures in ancient Greek literature, believed to have lived in the 8th century BC. He is most famous for his epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, which are considered to be the founding works of Western literature. The Iliad tells the story of the Trojan War, focusing on the hero Achilles, while the Odyssey recounts the adventures of the Greek hero Odysseus as he attempts to return home after the war. Both works are celebrated for their vivid storytelling, complex characters, and profound exploration of human nature.

Si hay un hombre que todos los argentinos conocen es el gaucho Martín Fierro. Muchos menos conocen a su autor, el señorito José Hernández, y a menudo lo que saben de él está lejos de la verdad. En estas páginas su personaje, Martín Fierro, furioso y agradecido, rencoroso y querendón, nos cuenta la vida de su creador con los mismos versos gauchescos que lo hicieron famoso. Pero esta vez Fierro no canta.

En Algunas formas de amar, Charlotte Mary Mew no ofrece una definición del amor, sino una exploración poética, íntima y a veces desgarradora de sus múltiples rostros. El texto —más cercano a la poesía que a la narrativa convencional— revela cómo el amor puede ser fuerza, pero también fragilidad; salvación o sacrificio. En sus palabras se percibe el amor callado, el que no es correspondido, el que se da sin esperar, pero también el que desgasta, el que duele en silencio y el que se confunde con renuncia. Mew no idealiza, pero tampoco juzga: simplemente muestra.

Observing the fragility of the body and soul in a world of threat, these startling poems stem from a central boyhood memory—the author’s near-drowning in a swimming pool on Crete. The observant child was troubled that none of the statues they saw had arms—and then it was his father’s arms lifting him from the water, saving his life.
