About this product
Art. : 156-135

 

It seems that poetry was eternal. But in the form that lyrical poetry is known and loved today, it was born in the time of Alcaeus and Sappho - more than 2500 years ago. Then on the island of Lesbos, a simple citizen Alcaeus and a simple citizen Sappho clothed their feelings in a melody, gave free rein to their feelings… No one else, except perhaps King Solomon in The Song of All Songs, has allowed himself to be talked about so openly. The individual soul yearned and sang. And nothing since then has been able to stop the "charming speeches" passing from "mouth to his mouth."

The feast of "the bliss of equality to the Gods" (Sappho) was clear to Russian poetry. It is not surprising that Alcaeus and Sappho have become one of the most translated Russian lyricists. So, in Sappho at the beginning of the XX century, the number of transcriptions and imitations of only the 2nd ode reached 51 variants. Here is the most complete collection of songs and lyrical excerpts of two of the most famous ancient Greek poets, prepared in 1914 by Vyacheslav Ivanov (1866-1949).

  Leather-bound gift books "Maupassant. Collection" in 13 volumes, in cases Leather-bound gift books "Maupassant. Collection" in 13 volumes, in cases Maupassant's work is mysterious. The initial, personal motives of this Phenomenon in the world literature are largely unclear. Why did a man who was already marked by a fatal hereditary disease in his youth practically not write about death, did not even think about the "eternal"? On the contrary, the too transitory, too human feeling of love for a woman became the main theme of his work. And why did a writer who loved life so much, glorified its sensual beauty like no other-the beauty of Venus babbling in French-seriously try to commit suicide while at the height of fame and fortune? There is no definitive answer to these questions. It is only possible for the reader to eternally approach the solution of the mystery of Maupassant - upstream of the river of life, in the "moonlight" of his brilliant, poetic prose. The collection includes works by: Dear friend, Crumpet, Mont Oriol, The Tellier Institution, From the left hand, Our Heart, Yvette, Moonlight, Mademoiselle Fifi, Tales of Day and Night, Under the Sun, Miss Harriet, Pierre and Jean.
