Sinopse

One of the three great playwrights of seventeenth century France, along with Molière and Corneille, Jean Racine is as a significant figure of world literature. Primarily a tragedian, producing neoclassical masterpieces such as ‘Phèdre’, ‘Andromaque’ and ‘Athalie’, Racine also composed the comedy ‘Les Plaideurs’. His works demonstrate a mastery of the 12-syllable French alexandrine — a verse form that influenced European literature for over two centuries. Renowned for their elegance, purity, speed and fury, Racine’s dramas are characterised by psychological insight, the prevailing passion of characters and the economy of both plot and stage. This eBook presents Racine’s complete plays, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    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 around the Great Lakes. These huge bodies of water are really inland seas and the poetic beauty created on their shores by poets such as Paul Laurence Dunbar, Ambrose Bierce, Vachel Lindsay, James Whitcomb Riley, and Alice Carey humble and inspire us all in ways that only a poet’s words can.

    The Raven, first published in 1845, is Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous and haunting poem. With its hypnotic rhythm, gothic imagery, and refrain of “Nevermore,” it explores grief, obsession, and the descent into madness.

Blending the supernatural with psychological torment, Poe creates one of the most iconic works in American literature. This audiobook edition captures the dark atmosphere and lyrical intensity of Poe’s masterpiece, making it a perfect listen for lovers of classic poetry, gothic tales, and timeless literature.
