Anna Karénina, que Tolstói empezó a escribir en 1873 y fuera publicada en 1878, es una exhaustiva disquisición sobre la institución familiar y, quizá ante todo, como dice Víctor Gallego (autor de esta nueva traducción), «una fábula sobre la búsqueda de la felicidad». La idea de que la felicidad no consiste en la satisfacción de los deseos preside la detallada descripción de una galería espléndida de personajes que conocen la incertidumbre y la decepción, el vértigo y el tedio, los mayores placeres y las más tristes miserias.

This dazzling debut announces a not-so-new voice: that of the spoken-word poet Tjawangwa Dema. Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poets, Dema’s collection, The Careless Seamstress, evokes the national and the subjective while reemphasizing that what is personal is always political. The girls and women in these poems are not mere objects; they speak, labor, and gaze back, with difficulty and consequence. The tropes are familiar, but in their animation they question and move in unexpected ways.

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.

This edition includes both poems and letters, as well as the only contemporary description of Emily Dickinson, and is designed for readers who want the best poems and most interesting letters in convenient form. An excellent introduction to the work of a poet whose originality of thought remains...

Publié en 1857, Les Fleurs du mal de Charles Baudelaire, est un recueil de poèmes qui explore les thèmes de la beauté, du mal, de la mélancolie, et de la révolte. L'œuvre, souvent considérée comme un chef-d'œuvre de la poésie française, reflète les tourments intérieurs du poète face à une société moderne et aliénante. Baudelaire y exprime un profond malaise existentiel, oscillant entre fascination pour le sublime et attirance pour la décadence.

William Butler Yeats, the first Irishman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, is not only one of the greatest poets of the 20th century but one of the most widely read. The landscape, myths, legends, and folklore of his homeland lie at the heart of his poetic imagination, and the unique musicality of Ireland adds to the richness of his verse. But the themes of his poetry are universal and timeless: the conflict between life and death, love and hate, and the meaning of man’s existence in an imperfect world.

Here are eight fundamental works by one of the few greatest English poets: three lyric pieces, Songs of Innocence, The Book of Thel, Songs of Experience; the prose satire An Island in the Moon, the mystical prose poem The Marriage of Heaven & Hell, and three visionary poems: The French Revolution, Visions of the Daughters of Albion, America, a Prophecy. William Blake (1757-1827) is one of the great relevant figures of his time, who like Beethoven in music bridges the classical and romantic, remaining himself uncategorizable.

William Blake’s poetry anthology ‘Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience’ was first published together in 1794.

Livre de dévotions esthétiques, Autels privilégiés voit Robert de Montesquiou ériger ses autels à ceux qu’il aime: un tendre procès en Cour d’art et d’amour plaidant la canonisation de Desbordes‑Valmore; un culte scruté autour du «demi‑dieu» Leconte de Lisle, sur les pelouses du Luxembourg; le pauvre Lelian, Paul Verlaine, fragile et fraternel; l’ensoleillé Mistral, «notre Provençal Horus». Entre hommages, plaidoiries et fleurs jetées — des Pensives Roses sur la route — se dessine une procession de saints laïcs où ferveur, ironie et grâce composent, à voix basse, de véritables romans du ciel.

Dans ces courts tableaux en prose, Remy de Gourmont distille une mélancolie lucide et une ironie feutrée. Entre rêve et désenchantement, figures furtives et paysages intérieurs se succèdent en vignettes moroses où l’ombre révèle la beauté. Fin de siècle, la phrase se fait musique: elle effleure le bizarre, l’ennui, le désir, la mort, et laisse au silence la part du mystère.

Dans ces Nouveaux Contes, Maupassant cisèle des récits où l’ironie froide et la précision du regard dévoilent les hommes. Mademoiselle Fifi ouvre le bal: un commandant prussien, comte de Farlsberg, installé depuis des mois au château d’Uville, règne en maître indifférent—bois humide au feu, éperons dans le marbre, meubles entaillés—et la tension sourd. Autour, d’autres histoires captent le frisson d’une époque et la comédie humaine.

Il a suffi à Stéphane Mallarmé de quelques poèmes pour remettre en question l'objet même de la littérature. Avec lui naquit un vers nouveau : souvent remaniés des dizaines de fois, ses poèmes sont un travail d'orfèvre, pour lequel il soupèse chaque mot, le contemple sous toutes ses faces et dans sa transparence, dans le jeu de tous ses reflets, jusqu'à obtenir un bijou textuel dont l'essence est un plaisir musical et sensuel plutôt que l'évocation d'objets réels. Sans Mallarmé, pas de modernité poétique. Découvrez ou redécouvrez Mallarmé au travers de ses meilleurs textes ; on leur reproche souvent leur difficulté, mais la clarté de l'interprétation de Florence Alayrac permet d'en savourer tout le plaisir.
