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.

This remarkable poem, dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I, was Spenser's finest achievement. The first epic poem in modern English, The Faerie Queene combines dramatic narratives of chivalrous adventure with exquisite and picturesque episodes of pageantry. At the same time, Spenser is expounding a deeply-felt allegory of the eternal struggle between Truth and Error....

Robert Pinsky's new verse translation of the Inferno makes it clear to the contemporary listener, as no other in English has done, why Dante is universally considered a poet of great power, intensity, and strength. This critically acclaimed translation was awarded the Los Angeles Times Book...

Lucretius was born in 99 BC, and On the Nature of Things is his only surviving work. His aim was to free the Roman world from its two great terrors - the gods and death. Lucretius argues that the gods are not actively involved in life, so need not be appeased; and that death is the end of everything human - body and soul - and therefore should not be feared. But On the Nature of Things is also a poem of striking imagery, intimate natural observation and touching pathos.

Possibly one of the most dissected poems ever, Eliot's poem loosely follows the legend of the Holy Grail and the Fisher King combined with vignettes of contemporary British society. Eliot employs many literary and cultural allusions from the Western canon, Buddhism, and the Hindu Upanishads. The poem shifts between voices of satire and prophecy featuring abrupt and unannounced changes of speaker, location, and time and conjuring a vast and dissonant range of cultures and literatures.

L'elenco e l'ordine delle poesie che comprendono la raccolta fanno riferimento all'edizione napoletana dell'editore Saverio Starita che Leopardi stesso curò nel 1835, benché non ne fosse ortograficamente e tipograficamente soddisfatto. A questa edizione si usano aggiungere le modifiche che il poeta appuntò di propria mano o per mano di Antonio Ranieri sulla copia in suo possesso, oltre a due poesie successive, "Il tramonto della luna" e "La ginestra" (composte a Torre del Greco nel 1836).

Sur une idée de Georges Sand, inspirée par la réalité historique, ce drame de Musset écrit en 1834 nous donne à contempler l'âme humaine.

Die Räuber: Die Geschichte um Karl und Franz Moor, vom jungen Friedrich Schiller einem begeisterten Publikum präsentiert, ist noch heute ein Klassiker auf den Bühnen - und vor allem im Klassenzimmer.

In 1855, Walt Whitman published, at his own expense, the first edition of Leaves of Grass, a visionary volume of 12 poems. Showing the influence of a uniquely American form of mysticism known as Transcendentalism, the writing is distinguished by an explosively innovative free-verse style and previously unmentionable subject matter. Exalting nature, celebrating the human body, and praising the senses and sexual love, this monumental work, now a classic of American poetry, was condemned as immoral upon publication.

The Waste Land is a seminal work of modernist poetry by T.S. Eliot. Written in 1922, this five-part poem is a portrait of its time, a work that expresses the disillusionment of the modernist era and the desperation that the generation of writers of that time was feeling....

This collection of 64 short poems has become a classic work of children’s literature. The poems are written from the point of view of a child. The author brilliantly recaptures the magical world of childhood innocence, in which the most mundane of experiences can become a source of wonder.

Bei der "Kritik des Herzens" von Wilhelm Busch handelt es sich um seine erste Gedichtsammlung, die im Jahr 1874 erschien und sich an Immanuel Kants "Kritik der reinen Vernunft" orientiert. Mit diesem Werk vollzieht sich bei Busch eine Wandlung zum ernsthaften Autor, nachdem er zuvor vornehmlich durch seine heiteren Bildergeschichten bekannt geworden war. In den Gedichten stellt Busch die Abgründe der kleinbürgerlichen Existenz und erzählt verschiedene Geschichten von Kindern, Tieren und der bürgerlichen Mittelschicht. Was dabei alle Erzählungen gemeinsam haben, ist die Überzeugung, dass der Mensch eine unbelehrbare Lust zu Heimtücke aufweist.

The Waste Land is a poem by T. S. Eliot, widely regarded as one of the most important poems of the 20th century and a central work of modernist poetry. Published in 1922, the 434-line poem first appeared in the United Kingdom in the October issue of Eliot's The Criterion and in the United States in the November issue of The Dial. It was published in book form in December 1922. Eliot's poem loosely follows the legend of the Holy Grail and the Fisher King combined with vignettes of contemporary British society.

Despite William Shakespeare being regarded as the most significant figure in the Western literary canon, relatively little is known about his early life and his later ‘lost years’. Even the exact date of his birth is uncertain. 23rd April generally accepted to be the date of his birth, could be a scholarly mistake amplified by the coincidence of it also being the date of his death. His iconic status now spans global literature and stems directly from the magnitude of his plays, both tragedies and comedies, and his poetry which is often cited as some of the greatest love poetry ever written.

La raccolta degli "Inni sacri" sarebbe dovuta essere composta, secondo le originali intenzioni dell'autore, di dodici testi ("Il Natale", "L'Epifania", "La Passione", "La Risurrezione", "L'Ascensione", "La Pentecoste", "Il Corpo del Signore", "La Cattedra di San Pietro", "L'Assunzione", "Il Nome di Maria", "Ognissanti", "I Morti") riguardanti le principali festività liturgiche del cattolicesimo. Tuttavia, egli concluse solo cinque inni ("La Resurrezione", "Il nome di Maria", "Il Natale", "La Passione", "La Pentecoste") e ne lasciò incompleto un sesto ("Ognissanti").

The Waste Land by T. S Eliot is narrated by Danielle Cohen and Denis Daly. Eliot's cross-cultural epic poem, first published in 1922, remains one of the most challenging poems in the English language. It is dedicated to Eliot's mentor, Ezra Pound. Like Pound, Eliot reveled in drawing allusions and quotations from a vast body of world literature.
