Sinopsis

Paul Claudel's "Tête-d'Or" is a profound theatrical exploration of the human spirit, imbued with rich symbolism and poetic language that reflect the author's deep theological and philosophical beliefs. Set against the backdrop of a mythic landscape, the play delves into themes of love, idealism, and the interplay between the divine and the earthly. Claudel employs a unique blend of lyrical dialogue and dramatic tension, crafting a narrative that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant, inviting audiences to ponder their own existential journeys. Claudel, a French poet, playwright, and diplomat deeply influenced by his Catholic faith, composed "Tête-d'Or" during a period of personal spiritual awakening. His extensive travels and exposure to diverse cultures profoundly shaped his worldview, which is evident in the intricate characterization and moral complexities presented within the play. As a member of the avant-garde literary movement, Claudel stands out for his ability to intertwine personal conviction with universal themes, reflecting his belief in the transformative power of art. Recommended for scholars and lovers of French literature alike, "Tête-d'Or" offers readers a compelling dive into Claudel's artistic vision. It promises an intellectually rewarding experience, as it challenges not only the conventions of theater but also the depths of human understanding, making it an essential addition to any literary canon.

James Weldon Johnson, Georgia...

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
The United States may be far younger than many nations on Earth, yet its tumultuous history has reaped a harvest of poets and poetry of very fine calibre.  In this volume we explore the verse of the South-East.

Reflections In Autumn

George Chandy

“Reflections in Autumn – Collection of Poems: Windows into Small Worlds” is about places and people, wonders of nature, complexity of emotions, and scientific discoveries. Like parables, these poems inspire contemplation about life. They are grouped into four chapters: Travel, Memories with Family and Friends, On Walks, and Musings on Science. The author, George Chandy, is a retired physician-scientist whose research focused on potassium ion channels and their role in various diseases. He was repeatedly ranked among the most highly cited scientists in the world. “Reflections in Autumn” began as a memory exercise. Encouraged by family and friends this collection is his first endeavor to write in poetic form, “Evocative and reflective: marvelously capturing places, people, moods and emotions” (Meera Parkhe, Australia). “Beautiful rhymes and images coming together to bring events, people and memories to life.” (Ashok Roy, UK). “Personal, yet universal. Impressionist art, capturing moment and eternity. Memory-deep stories unraveled by the click of a camera. Poems about children and hope.” (Mani Chandy, USA). “His deep scientific background, historian, depth of inquiries into many areas of life has brought a rich profound touch to the poetry page. Readers will receive a gift of quiet moments, as well as engaging the mind into new horizons. His work is a treasure to add to one’s life.” (Patricia Truman, USA). “Poetic travelogue through life on people, places, emotions” (Isha Garg, India). “Picturesque poems captivating our senses, a riot of landscapes, exotic people, and historical events” (Suzy Thomas, India). In this 'Poetry For Pads' Initiative, the proceeds from the sale of this book will support the award-winning NGO, Days For Girls (https://www.daysforgirls.org/), that works to shatter stigma and limitations associated with menstruation to improve health, education, livelihoods and empowerment of women and girls in 145 countries on six continents.
