eBook: \'Poems of 1820\' is a great reminder that some achieve greatness at an early age. John Keats was 24 when this collection of poems was published and it is wild, ecstatic, sensuous and thrilling. In classic Romantic style, he uses Greek mythology and pagan imagery in his poetry and veers from explosive short poems to sprawling epics. Both - and much more in-between - appear in this collection, which is a poignant reminder of what the literary world missed when he died at the age of 25. This is ideal reading for fans of the poets Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is edited and introduced by Dr Andrew Hodgson. This volume, Selected Poems, reflects his extraordinary creativity and versatility, drawing on the collections published during his lifetime as well as posthumously.

Together, they celebrate a poet who wrote with unsurpassed insight and emotion about art and beauty, love and loss, suffering and nature. Review The imaginative impact of Keats's life - his "orphaned” childhood, his letters, his poetry, his friendships, his illness, his agonizing love affair - has continued unbroken for nearly two hundred years, New York Review of Books Keats's jazz-like improvisations, which give us, like no other writing in English, the actual rush of a man thinking, a mind hurtling forward unpredictably and sweeping us along -- Morris Dickstein, New York Times He left behind him some of Britain's best-loved poetry -- Alison Flood, Guardian A truly radical poet -- Lesley McDowell, Independent About the Author John Keats was born in London in 1795. He and his siblings were orphaned at a young age - his father died in a riding accident in 1804 and his mother died six years later. Keats then left Enfield school to train as an apothecary and a surgeon but he was to leave his profession to dedicate his time to poetry. His first volume, Poems, was published in 1817 and only two more volumes, in 1818 and 1820, were published during his lifetime. In 1818 he fell in love with his neighbour Fanny Brawne, but he broke off their engagement due to his increasing ill health and lack of funds. In 1820 he moved to Italy where he died a year later of tuberculosis, the disease that claimed his mother and his brother Tom.

Already with thee! tender is the night, And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne, Cluster'd around by all her starry Fays; But here there is no light, Save what from heaven is with the breezes blown Through verdurous glooms and winding mossy ways. Despite his tragically short life, John Keats, a self-confessed "rebel Angel”, endures for many as a personification of the Romantic age. While contemporary critics mocked him as a "Cockney poet” and an uneducated lower-class "apothecary” who aspired to poetry, subsequent generations began to see and appreciate both the rich and impassioned sensuousness and the love of beauty and liberty that pervade his work. From Endymion and Hyperion to 'The Eve of St Agnes', 'La Belle Dame sans Merci' and the Odes, this collection, which presents Keats's oeuvre in chronological order, displays his rapid poetic growth, the development of his philosophical and spiritual beliefs and the voluptuous, silken nature of his verse.

eBook: ‘Poems’ was published at Wilde’s expense less than 10 years before he wrote his acclaimed novel, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray.’ It contains some of his best-loved poetry, including ‘Ravenna,’ ‘The Ballad of Reading Gaol,’ and ‘Sonnet On Hearing The Dies Irae Sung In The Sistine Chapel.’ Despite being criticised in the Press, ‘Poems’ sold out during its first run and further editions had to be printed in the same year. Wilde went on to gift copies of the book to assorted dignitaries, including Albert Edward, the then Prince of Wales. The anthology is an insightful exploration of human emotions and a landmark in his career. Oscar Wilde (1854 – 1900) was an Irish novelist, poet, playwright, and wit. He was an advocate of the Aesthetic movement, which extolled the virtues of art for the sake of art. During his career, Wilde wrote nine plays, including ‘The Importance of Being Earnest,’ ‘Lady Windermere’s Fan,’ and ‘A Woman of No Importance,’ many of which are still performed today. His only novel, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ was adapted for the silver screen, in the film, ‘Dorian Gray,’ starring Ben Barnes and Colin Firth. In addition, Wilde wrote 43 poems, and seven essays. His life was the subject of a film, starring Stephen Fry.

Seized from West Africa as a young girl, Phillis lived in Boston as a slave to the prominent Wheatley family where she learned to read and write, as well as undertaking lessons in the Bible, astronomy, geography, history and British, Greek and Latin Literature. By the age of 18, Phillis had amassed a decent quantity of poems and together with the Wheatley family, sought out a publisher. However, based on racial prejudices, Phillis was received with disdain in the United States. Attention was turned to London instead, where Phillis posted one of her poems, \'On the Rev. Mr. George Whitefield\', to Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon and a well-off supporter of the abolitionist cause, who connected her with a bookseller although Wheatley still had to go through interrogation to prove that she was the author of her own work.This collection of poems shows the breadth and depth of her reading, and includes poems reflecting her Christian faith, her interest in Greek mythology and her admiration for well-known figures including Alexander Pope.\'Poems on Various Subjects\' is perfect for people who have read \'The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano\'

Although Emily Dickinson wrote nearly 2,000 poems, only a handful were ever published in her lifetime, and those anonymously. Today, she is recognized as one of the most important American poets of the nineteenth century, one whose unconventional use of language and rhyme anticipated the break with tradition of much modern poetry written after it. The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson collects more than 150 of Dickinson's brief but memorable poems. Bursting with insights about life, love, nature, death, and immortality, these poems are among the best loved and most reprinted in English literature. The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an elegantly designed bonded-leather binding, with distinctive gilt edging.

The Collected Early Poems of Ezra Pound contains the complete text, the poet's first six books, their title pages in facsimile (A Lume Spento, 1908; A Quinzaine for This Yule, 1908; Personae, 1909; Exultations, 1909; Canzoni, 1911; Ripostes, 1912), and the long poem Redondillas (1911), for many years available only in a rare limited edition. There are, in addition, twenty-five poems originally published in periodicals but not previously collected, as well as thirty-eight others drawn from miscellaneous manuscripts. Ezra Pound's 1926 collection, entitled Personae after his earlier volume of that name, was his personal choice of all the poems he wished to keep in print other than some translations and his Cantos. It was intended to be the definitive collection of his shorter poems, and so it should remain. Yet even the discarded works of a great poet are of value and interest to students and devotees. Originally, brought out clothbound by New Directions in 1976, the texts were established at the Center for the Study of Ezra Pound and His Contemporaries of The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. They were edited by Michael King under the direction of Louis L. Martz, who wrote the introduction, and Donald Gallup, formerly Curator of American Literature. Included are textual and bibliographic notes as well as indexes of titles and first lines.

With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex. W. B. Yeats was Romantic and Modernist, mystical dreamer and leader of the Irish Literary Revival, Nobel prizewinner, dramatist and, above all, poet. He began writing with the intention of putting his 'very self' into his poems. T. S. Eliot, one of many who proclaimed the Irishman's greatness, described him as 'one of those few whose history is the history of their own time, who are part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them'. For anyone interested in the literature of the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century, Yeats's work is essential. This volume gathers the full range of his published poetry, from the hauntingly beautiful early lyrics (by which he is still fondly remembered) to the magnificent later poems which put beyond question his status as major poet of modern times. Paradoxical, proud and passionate, Yeats speaks today as eloquently as ever.

eBook: Devět let čeká Donté Drumm – mladík tmavé pleti ze Slone, obviněný a odsouzený za znásilnění a brutální vraždu bělošské dívky Nicole Yaberové – v cele smrti na den, kdy bude popraven. Právě tak dlouho bojuje jeho právník o zvrácení rozsudku. Když už se zdá, že popravu nic neodvrátí, přizná se v jiném městě presbyteriánskému pastorovi skutečný vrah, Travis Boyette, k činu, za který má být Donté popraven. Začíná boj s časem a především s policejní a soudní mašinerií – ta však už dávno neslouží spravedlnosti, ale mnohem spíš osobním a kariérním ambicím politiků a policistů: pokud někdo jejich postavení ohrozí, neváhají ho obětovat – i kdyby šlo o život nevinného člověka. Román Přiznání, jehož zápletka opět vychází ze skutečného příběhu, je dalším Grishamovým výrazným protestem proti justiční praxi a zejména trestu smrti, uplatňovaným v mnoha státech USA.

eBook: První kniha z kultovní série Věrní a padlí od uznávaného autora fantasy Johna Gwynna Mladý Corban se závistivě dívá, jak se z chlapců stávají muži a učí se umění války. Sám už touží držet meč a kopí, aby chránil zemi svého krále. Ten den však nastane dřív, než čekal. Teprve ve chvíli, kdy ztratí ty, které miloval, zjistí, jaká je skutečná cena odvahy. Dějiny Zemí vyhnanců jsou plné krvavých střetů mezi vojsky lidí a obrů, při kterých zem zčernala jejich prolitou krví. I když byly kmeny obrů před dávnými věky poraženy, jejich dobyté pevnosti se dosud tyčí po celé zemi. Nyní se však obři znovu probouzejí, kameny roní krev, a dokonce se objevili i obrovští červci. Ti, kdo ještě dovedou číst znamení, vidí přicházet hrozbu mnohem větší, než byly dávné války. Svět zahalí žal, andělé a démoni se chystají na bitevní pole. Pak propukne válka, která ukončí všechny války. Král Aquilus svolává ostatní krále na sněm, aby v naléhavé době vytvořil alianci. Proroctví praví, že temnota i světlo budou mít každý svého šampiona — Černé slunce a Jasnou hvězdu. Bylo by moudré je oba najít, neboť pokud se Černému slunci podaří vystoupat na trůn, veškeré naděje a sny lidstva se promění v prach. ––– Série, která slibuje stejnou míru komplexnosti a hloubky jako knihy Roberta Jordana z cyklu Kolo času či Píseň ledu a ohně George R.
