PROLOGUE: She is the princess—high grades in her senior years in high school. However, the only thing that is bothering her is to get a man before she lost all.
A land of enchanted forests. Knights sworn to impossible quests. Virtues tested in a world where every shadow hides a symbol—and every triumph reveals a deeper truth. In The Faerie Queene, Edmund Spenser weaves one of the greatest epic poems in English literature: a sweeping allegory of heroism, beauty, faith, and moral struggle. Through battles with sorcerers, dragons, temptresses, and shape-shifting foes, noble knights pursue not only victory but the virtues that define the human spirit. Praised as "a masterpiece of imagination and moral vision," this epic blends chivalric romance, rich symbolism, and breathtaking fantasy. Readers treasure its lyrical beauty, mythic storytelling, and the timeless journey into a realm where courage and virtue guide the way. If you love epic adventures, classical allegory, and poetry that opens new worlds with every stanza, this monumental work awaits you. Begin your quest—step into Faerie Land and discover an epic unlike any other.Zum Buch
Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. In the volumes of this series we take a look through the prism of individual regions of the United States through the centuries and decades. The United States may be many things: the world’s policeman, a bully, a shameless purveyor of mass market culture but it also, in its better moments, a standard bearer for truth, transparency, equality and the more positive qualities of democracy. Little wonder that’s its poets are rightly acknowledged as wonders of their art. Leading lights in the fight against slavery and for equality, even if the rest of the Nation is finding it problematic to catch up. In this volume we have collected verse from poets born in the Mid-West. This huge and mythic landscape that stretches from Chicago and the Great Lakes to the deserts of Texas contains a wealth of poets that could summon theme and words to describe and reveal both nature and humanity in sprawling yet intimate detail. Among their number are Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Vachel Lindsay, Alice Corbin and Ambrose Bierce, brilliant wordsmiths one and all.Zum Buch
