A continuation of Homer’s epic poem, Kazantzakis’s own Odyssey finds Odysseus once again leaving Ithaca on finding that the satisfactions of home and hearth are not as he remembered them. Following an encounter with the former Helen of Troy (now returned to her husband, the king of Sparta, after the ignominious defeat of the Trojans), Odysseus gradually wends his way to Egypt and southward, grappling all the while with questions about the nature of God.

"Les pauvres gens" font partie du recueil "La Légende des Siècles", conçu comme une œuvre monumentale destinée à dépeindre l'histoire et l'évolution de l'humanité. Dans ce poème, Hugo cherche à toucher le lecteur en racontant le quotidien misérable d'un marin et des siens, qu'il transforme en héros en dramatisant la situation. "Ce siècle avait deux ans" : fasciné par le personnage et le destin hors norme de Napoléon, Hugo en exalte l'épopée et contribue à la légende impériale.

Les pages qu'il faut connaître, parce qu'elles font partie intégrante du patrimoine de la France, que les jeunes par conséquent ont à apprendre - et y a-t-il procédé plus séduisant et plus efficace que d'entendre ces pages enregistrées dans la plus pieuse fidélité au génie créateur ? Les pages qu'il faut connaître... et qu'en fait tant de Français et d'étrangers connaissent et savent par cœur !

Under the order of King Pelias, Jason embarks on a perilous journey to steal the Golden Fleece from the Land of Colchis. Far from heroic, Jason is the typical everyman. Often compared with Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Jason and the Argonauts is the only surviving poem from the Hellenistic period and was hugely influential on later literature, especially the Roman poetry of Virgil and Ovid.

Humphries has rendered (Ovid's) love poetry with conspicuous success into English which is neither obtrusively colloquial nor awkwardly antique.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra is one of the most extraordinary - and important - texts in Western philosophy. It was written by Friedrich Nietzsche between 1883 and 1885. He cast it in the form of a novel in the hope that his urgent message of the 'death of God' and the rise of the superman (Ubermensch) would have greater emotional as well as intellectual impact.

This is a book about discovering the secret to all the things we most desire: contentment, meaning, peace of mind, and true freedom. This skillfully edited translation of selections from the writings of Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-1328) provides a road map to the spiritual life for contemporary seekers. Eckhart takes us on a journey of discovery, a journey in which we learn to let go, relinquish our need to know everything, and lose those things that we think are important for a life of worth. And in the end he shows us that the true secret is: to find yourself, you must lose yourself.

"Take your time with these poems, and return to them often.” —The Washington Post The New York Times-bestselling collection of poems from the award-winning writer Ocean Vuong How else do we return to ourselves but to fold The page so it points to the good part In this deeply intimate second...

Grande capolavoro rinascimentale tutto incentrato sulle vicende della prima Crociata, la Gerusalemme Liberata rappresenta di fatto una epopea Cristiana. Le avventure guerresche si intrecciano continuamente con passioni amorose, magie, nobili gesta, avventure, fughe, inseguimenti. Il Tasso attribuisce all'amore un ruolo centrale, in forte contrasto con il tema guerresco e religioso, intrecciando così conflitti epici e amorosi, motivi religiosi ed intenzioni profane, facendone un dramma Cristiano sempre in bilico tra peccato e redenzione.

"Lavorare stanca" (nell'edizione del '36, con le poesie aggiunte nel '43 e le altre non raccolte), "La terra e la morte", "Due poesie a T.", "Verrà la morte e avrà i tuoi occhi": le composizioni piú conosciute accanto a quelle meno note, qui riunite sotto i titoli di Prima di "Lavorare stanca" e "Estravaganti scelte".

Sappho is widely recognized as one of the great poets of world literature, an author whose works have caused her readers to repeat in many different forms Strabo's amazed epithet when he wrote that she could only be called "a marvel." The reception of Sappho's poetry even through the twentieth century offers a case study of the conflicts induced by the sexual preferences she seemingly alludes to in her verse. Little is known with certainty about the life of Sappho, or Psappha in her native Aeolic dialect. She was born probably about 620 B.C. to an aristocratic family on the island of Lesbos during a great cultural flowering in the area.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis loved literature, especially poetry. "Once you can express yourself," she wrote, "you can tell the world what you want from it...All the changes in the world, for good or evil, were first brought about by words". Now, Caroline Kennedy shares her mother's favorite poems...

Kahlil Gibran's aphorisms, stories, and poetry on a theme remain among some of those best known to Western readers. His views, however, extend beyond the most-quoted "greeting card" sayings to a wide realm of human emotions and relationships - passion, desire, idealized love, justice, friendship, and the challenges of dealing with strangers, neighbors, and enemies. This little book captures love and life in all of their complexities and nuances. 

Une route bordée de soie, de 12000 km de long, fait rêver depuis des siècles l'Orient et l'Occident. Une route qui traverse ici, la Chine, le Kirghizistan, l'Ouzbékistan, l'Afghanistan, l'Irak, la Turquie et la Grèce. Elle chemine aux sommets de montagnes ardues, de steppes de velours, de villes enchanteresses. Le vent murmure au voyageur des récits âpres et sauvages, où ces peuples d'Asie centrale vivent en symbiose et en lutte perpétuelle avec une nature aussi grandiose que cruelle.

Paul Valéry est né à Sète le 30 octobre 1871 ; il est mort à Paris le 19 juillet 1945. Essayiste et poète, il est aussi exceptionnel ici que là. C'est un écrivain qui méprise les prestiges faciles de la littérature : l'inconscience bavarde et la satisfaction de parler de soi. Poète, Valéry l'est comme rarement on le fut : froidement. Un poème est pour lui une savante machine verbale plutôt destinée à provoquer une émotion qu'à exposer celle de l'auteur.
