يتضمن الكتاب تصنيف المعلقات العشر وشرحها، فليس في الأدب العربي قصائد اشتهرت كالمعلقات، ومن هنا فقد اهتم بها علماء العربية قديماً وحديثاً، وأولوها عنايتهم جميعاً وشروحاً وتدريساً واختياراً. ولعل شرح الخطيب التبريزي من أهمها وأجلها، ذلك لأنه استفاد ممن تقدمه من شرح تلك القصائد الغر، فجاء بشرح واف مع اختصاره. وخرج فيه من الخلاف بعدد المعلقات فأوردهن عشراً على التمام.

Poème épique de l’Antiquité, L’Odyssée s’ouvre par l’invocation à la Muse et chante les maux innombrables du divin Ulysse, en proie aux longues épreuves du retour depuis la ville sacrée de Troie. Aux prises avec la faveur et la colère des dieux, il lutte pour sa vie et pour celle de ses compagnons—les imprudents dont l’offense faite aux génisses saintes du Soleil leur ravit le jour du retour.

Many have attempted to read Spenser’s original masterpiece only to retreat, daunted by language that was deliberately archaic even in Elizabethan times. Classical educator Rebecca K. Reynolds bridges this gap, crafting a prose adaptation that gradually introduces more of Spenser’s distinctive vocabulary and diction. By the final volume, listeners will find themselves prepared to engage directly with Spenser’s original text with confidence and delight.

La Vita nuova è la prima opera di attribuzione certa di Dante Alighieri, scritta tra il 1293 e il 1294. Si tratta di un prosimetro nel quale sono inserite 31 liriche (25 sonetti, 1 ballata, 5 canzoni) in una cornice narrativa di 42 capitoli.

Hesíodo describe el nacimiento de diversas deidades y criaturas mitológicas, como Gea (la Tierra), Urano (el Cielo), los Titanes, los Cíclopes y los Hecatónquiros. También relata la lucha entre los Titanes y Zeus, conocida como la Titanomaquia, así como la historia de Prometeo y la creación de Pandora, el primer ser humano femenino. Esta obra fue fundamental para la religión y la literatura griega, pues organizó y estructuró los mitos dispersos en una narración coherente.

百花繚乱！　心ときめく和歌の世界へようこそ！恋の喜び・切なさ、四季折々の美に触れる感動、別れの哀しみ、人生の儚さ、世の無常･･････

В этих строках живёт музыка слова и дыхание самой России. Пушкинские поэмы — это не только герои и события, но зеркало человеческих страстей, любви и разочарований, судьбы народа и ритм истории. Здесь сказка встречается с реальностью, поэзия — с драмой, а ирония — с нежностью. В этом собрании — вся полнота голоса поэта: от звонкой юношеской мечты до философской зрелости.

Это произведение — не только художественный документ времени, но и откровение поэта, стремившегося уловить в катастрофах истории дыхание Воскресения. В этой поэме — не пересказ Евангелия и не иллюстрация к истории, а напряжённое, огненное переживание вечной Пасхальной вести, звучащей сквозь века.

Las cuartetas (rubaiyyat) de Umar Jayyam, poeta persa de los siglos XI y XII , no se conocieron en Occidente hasta que a mediados del siglo XIX las tradujo al inglés Edward Fitzgerald, cuyo prólogo recuperamos en nuestra edición. Las cuartetas se pueden leer de muchas maneras: como un poema extenso; como una recopilación de poemas breves vagamente relacionados; como aforismos acerca de la vida, la moral y nuestra condición de seres mortales; o tal vez como pensamientos que podemos ir eligiendo al azar para inspirarnos cada día.

La Vita Nuova (pronounced [la ˈviːta ˈnwɔːva]; Italian for The New Life) is a text by Dante Alighieri published in 1294. It is an expression of the medieval genre of courtly love in a prosimetrum style, a combination of both prose and verse.

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.

Thomas Stearns Eliot OM (26 Sept 1888 – 4 Jan 1965) was a poet, essayist, publisher, playwright, and literary and social critic. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, to a prominent Boston Brahmin family, he moved to England in 1914 at the age of 25 and went on to settle, work and marry there. He became a British subject in 1927 at the age of 39, subsequently renouncing his American citizenship.

In the beginning, the world is spoken into existence with one word: “Earth.” There are no inhabitants, and no sun—only the broad sky, silent sea, and sovereign Framer and Shaper. Then come the twin heroes Hunahpu and Xbalanque. Wielding blowguns, they begin a journey to hell and back, ready to confront the folly of false deities as well as death itself, in service to the world and to humanity. This is the story of the Mayan Popol Vuh, “the book of the woven mat,” one of the only epics indigenous to the Americas.

"Narrator JD Jackson addresses his listener as "bro" in this decidedly contemporary retelling of the classic saga...His brilliant performance captures all the artistry, wit, and immediacy of this fresh translation, and breathes new life into what for most has been a literary fossil." --...

A selection of the very best of Chinese poetry over the course of a thousand years, from 100 years before Christ was born up of the middle ages. Arthur Waley's translations of Chinese poetry are still the benchmark by which such translations are held, nearly two hundred years after he introduced the west to the wonder of classical Chinese poetry.

There have been many translators of Chinese literature and poetry over time, but Arthur Waley stands out as one of the best known and most loved. This is perhaps because he had an attribute that most others lacked, which is his poetic abilities. Waley was as much a poet himself as a translator, and while his scholarly erudition was matched by a few others at his time, none ever managed to bring out the true character of Chinese poetry quite so well.

These are called '' Poems from the Chinese" and we have Mr. Waley's assurance that there are in existence Oriental originals.
