The Anatomy of a Falling Star is a journey through the fragile, aching spaces of the human heart and spirit. In this book, desire and doubt intertwine, faith trembles under the weight of longing, and the body remembers what the soul sometimes forgets. Each poem is a quiet reckoning, a dissection of life’s light and shadow, of temptation and devotion, of identity and the relentless ache of existence. Here, stars fall slowly, carrying stories of loss, spiritual questioning, and the seductive pull of what we cannot resist. Some sparks fade, others linger, stubbornly refusing to die.

The Dangerous Country of Love and Marriage is a striking poetry collection that explores what it means to share a life with another person—and still feel, at times, profoundly alone. These poems move through the interior landscape of marriage and intimacy, where love is not always certain and connection is constantly renegotiated. Within the quiet rhythms of daily life, the collection examines the distance that can exist between two people even in close proximity, and the ways doubt, memory, and unspoken truths shape the emotional fabric of a relationship.

Dante's Divine Comedy is considered to be not only the most important epic poem in Italian literature, but also one of the greatest poems ever written. It consists of 100 cantos, and (after an introductory canto) they are divided into three sections. Each section is 33 cantos in length, and they describe how Dante and a guide travel through Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso.

The Odyssey is the greatest adventure story ever written, and one of the great epic masterpieces of Western literature For almost 3,000 years, it has been a storehouse of ancient Greek folklore and myth. It is also our very first novel, if we think of it in terms of romantic plot development, realistic characterizations, frequent change of scene, and heroic dramatic devices.

In A Meditation on I Am, Rupert Spira contemplates the essential nature of our self before it has been conditioned or qualified by the content of experience.

When Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey appeared in 2017―rendering the ancient poem in contemporary language that was “fresh, unpretentious and lean” (Madeline Miller, Washington Post)―critics lauded it as “a revelation” (Susan Chira, New York Times) and “a cultural landmark” (Charlotte Higgins, Guardian) that would forever change how Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an equally revelatory translation of Homer’s other great epic―the most revered war poem of all time.

This collection arguably contains some of the most charming lyrics ever written in English. Blake’s poems can be enjoyed, not only for their historical importance in an age which was fiercely proud of its genius and its traditions, but also for their simple and beautiful expression of “two contrary states of the human soul.” Songs of Innocence was originally a complete collection of twenty-three poems, first printed in 1789. In 1794, a composite collection entitled Songs of Innocence and of Experience, containing forty-seven poems, was published.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s ‘novel in verse’ is an epic poem that voices with enchanting beauty and literary courage the perspective of Victorian women. Aurora Leigh forges her own path to become a poet, successfully proving her worth, defying the ideals of her era, and rescuing her spirit from the suppression of a routine domestic life. Infusing the work with her own experience and passion, Browning produced a true masterpiece.

The Iliad and The Odyssey are epic poems traditionally attributed to Homer, of which the written versions are dated to the 8th century BCE. Chronicling events in the Greek Bronze Age, this magnificent pair of poems forms the cornerstone of Western literature. If The Iliad is a classic war story, The Odyssey is symbolic of the individual’s journey through life.

The poems of Leaves of Grass are loosely connected, with each representing Whitman's celebration of his philosophy of life and humanity. This book is notable for its discussion of delight in sensual pleasures during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. Where much previous poetry, especially English, relied on symbolism, allegory, and meditation on the religious and spiritual, Leaves of Grass exalted the body and the material world.

Découvrir l'intimité des "grands hommes" est décidément une chose exquise ! Dans cette correspondance - ou plutôt ce monologue passionné ! - l'amour de Napoléon pour sa femme Joséphine s'étale sur toute la palette des sentiments.

Lues par la voix bouleversante de Pierre Fresnay, ces 33 lettres écrites entre 1795 et 1814 montrent l'intimité d'un homme dont le génie s'abandonne - sans fard - à la passion des sentiments ! A tout point de vue, ce livre audio est un document exceptionnel !

This magnificent volume gathers the published verse of Allen Ginsberg in its entirety, a half-century of brilliant work from one of America's greatest poets.

Écrit en 1873, ce long poème en prose est la confession fiévreuse d’un jeune poète en rupture. Dans une langue fulgurante, Rimbaud traverse sa saison comme un enfer intérieur: révolte et lucidité, chute et sursaut, désespoir et désir de salut. Cette voix, tour à tour hautaine, blessée et visionnaire, scrute le mal et la poésie elle‑même, en éprouve les limites et brûle ses illusions. Traversée désespérée et lumineuse, cette œuvre garde la modernité d’un cri: un pacte avec la nuit, une tentative de salut par les mots—jusqu’au silence.

Odysseus has been away from Ithaca, the Greek city-state under his rule, for ten years while fighting in the Trojan War. After the fall of Troy, Odysseus begins the long journey home to his wife and son; however, his journey is plagued by misfortune as the gods feud over his fate, leaving the Ithacans to believe that he has died. In the myths and legends that are retold here, Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer's original in a bold, contemporary idiom, and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery.

Porté par l’élan romantique du XIXe siècle, Kourroglou révèle la voix singulière de George Sand: une fiction où la passion et l’aspiration à la liberté se heurtent aux conventions qui étouffent. Dans une prose ample et sensible, Sand explore la tension entre désir et devoir, idéal et réalité, peignant des êtres confrontés au regard social. L’histoire avance avec la grâce d’un chant intérieur et la force d’une révolte contenue. Une invitation à écouter une œuvre qui interroge l’amour, la dignité et le courage d’être soi, sans rien trahir de ses secrets.

The Odyssey has survived nearly three thousand years because it speaks to a simple, powerful truth: sometimes the hardest battle is not the war abroad, but the long, uncertain journey back home. In this modern prose retelling, Homer's epic is presented as a continuous story rather than as verse. The language is clear and contemporary, but the structure and major episodes of the original are faithfully preserved.

The heroic story of the siege of Troy is as enthralling today as it ever was. The Greeks are entering the tenth year of their war with the Trojans, but their armies are fractured and their best warrior Achilles has abandoned the battle on a mission of revenge. Only the death of his best friend Patroclus persuades Achilles to return to battle and confront the Trojan leader Hector in single combat.

Have you ever thought of yourself as a “vessel of love?” This image speaks to what I envision for the elderhood years. The vast life experiences of the past provided countless opportunities for our love to grow and mature. The persons we have known, what we have done or had done to us, the beliefs stretching our minds and hearts, what we gained and what we shed, the results of our choices and decisions, our deliberate participation in the evolving history of the world―all this and more we bring with us into the final decades.
