Sinopsis

Henrik Ibsen's "Peer Gynt (Illustrated Edition)" is a masterful exploration of self-identity, ambition, and the complex nature of reality. Written in poetic verse, this dramatic work combines enchanting folklore with profound philosophical inquiry, embodying the spirit of 19th-century Romanticism. Ibsen employs vivid imagery and allegorical narrative to follow the life of Peer Gynt, a young man whose fantastical adventures reflect the struggle between societal expectations and personal desires. Set against a backdrop of Scandinavian landscapes and mythical elements, the play critiques both the individual and the collective human experience, offering readers an intricate tapestry of moral dilemmas and existential questions. Henrik Ibsen, often regarded as the father of modern drama, was deeply influenced by the societal changes and emerging psychological theories of his time. His own experiences in Norway's rural settings and engagement with folk traditions significantly shaped his thematic concerns in "Peer Gynt." The play, initially performed in 1867, showcases Ibsen's innovative narrative style and bold exploration of character psychology, marking a departure from previous theatrical conventions. "Peer Gynt (Illustrated Edition)" is highly recommended for readers seeking to immerse themselves in a rich literary experience that combines captivating storytelling with profound philosophical reflection. Ibsen's timeless themes resonate in contemporary society, inviting readers to ponder their own journeys of self-discovery. This edition, enhanced with illustrations, offers a unique visual complement to Ibsen's poetic language, making it an essential addition for students and enthusiasts of dramatic literature.

    In the shadowed realm where life and death intertwine, an objective crow perches upon the precipice of existence. Its wings bear the weight of countless souls—both animal and human—whose final breaths echo through the void. 
    He Watched chronicles the crow’s solemn duty: to witness the unraveling of mortal threads. From the gnarled roots of ancient forests to the blood-soaked cobblestones of forgotten alleys, it observes without judgment. The grotesque and the sublime converge in a macabre ballet, each demise etched into the crow’s unyielding gaze. 
    But as the seasons turn and the moon waxes, a twist of fate awaits. The crow, once a silent observer, becomes ensnared in a web of treachery. Captured by unseen hands, it faces its own mortality—a revelation that transcends mere poetry. The boundaries blur, and the crow’s wings ache for flight beyond the ink-stained pages. 
    He Watched is a haunting tapestry woven from verses and prose, where the boundary between life and death dissolves. Prepare to be startled, unsettled, and transformed as you journey alongside the crow—a witness turned protagonist—in this enigmatic tale. 
    The crow’s secrets lie hidden within these verses. Will you dare to decipher them?

    'She entered the house like a shadow … She was like a divine elixir: one drop for each of my thoughts. … I could feel the breath of the warrior, the Queen of Ireland, and it intoxicated me with the wind of hope, like noble wine.'
    She is Maud Gonne, the muse of writer William Butler Yeats. Yeats here returns as a ghost, having been buried in southern France in January 1939 at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Ten years later his remains are repatriated to Ireland. He emerges from his grave to recount his thwarted love for Maud, a story blending with the movement for Irish independence in which they each played an integral part.
    Yeats' ghost has suddenly appeared as diplomatic documents have come to light, casting doubt on the contents of the coffin brought back to Sligo for a state funeral. Where did the poet's body go? Does he still hover 'somewhere among the clouds above'? What remains of our loves and our deaths, if not their poetry?
    Maylis Besserie's exciting new work follows on from Yell, Sam, If You Still Can (Le tiers temps). In her second novel, she turns her attention from Samuel Beckett to another Irish writer, W.B. Yeats. The connection between Ireland and France is forged once again in the smithy of art, culture and the days at the end of life.

    Collected poems from one of the Twentieth Century's most influential voices. 
    Frank O’Hara was one of the great poets of the twentieth century and, along with such widely acclaimed writers as Denise Levertov, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley, and Gary Snyder, a crucial contributor to what Donald Allen termed the New American Poetry, “which, by its vitality alone, became the dominant force in the American poetic tradition.” 
    Frank O’Hara was born in Baltimore in 1926 and grew up in New England; from 1951 he lived and worked in New York, both for Art News and for the Museum of Modern Art, where he was an associate curator. O’Hara’s untimely death in 1966 at the age of forty was, in the words of fellow poet John Ashbery, “the biggest secret loss to American poetry since John Wheelwright was killed.”. 
    This collection is a reissue of a volume first published by Grove Press in 1957, and it demonstrates beautifully the flawless rhythm underlying O’Hara’s conviction that to write poetry, indeed to live, “you just go on your nerve.
