Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Illustrated Edition)" is a seminal work of the Romantic era that masterfully blends vivid storytelling with profound philosophical undercurrents. This poem chronicles the harrowing journey of an ancient mariner, who, after a fateful encounter with a cursed albatross, traverses the treacherous waters of guilt, redemption, and the sublime. Coleridge employs a captivating lyrical style, employing meter and rhyme to evoke a sense of both wonder and terror, while the striking illustrations in this edition further enhance the enigmatic atmosphere of the narrative, allowing readers to engage both visually and thematically with its rich symbolism and moral lessons. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, a pivotal figure in English literature and one of the founders of the Romantic movement, was influenced by his deep interest in nature, spirituality, and the supernatural. His experiences at sea and his exploration of the imagination's depths often found expression in his works. Coleridge'Äôs lifelong struggles with mental health and addiction, juxtaposed with his extraordinary creativity, played a significant role in shaping the darker, introspective themes of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." This illustrated edition is highly recommended for readers seeking an immersive experience in Romantic literature. It not only invites reflection on moral and existential themes but also serves as a testament to the human experience of isolation and interconnectedness. Whether a newcomer to Coleridge's work or a seasoned reader, this edition provides a compelling exploration of the human spirit as it navigates the tumultuous seas of life.

More Translations From The...

Arthur Waley

There have been many translators of Chinese literature and poetry over time, but Arthur Waley stands out as one of the best known and most loved. This is perhaps because he had an attribute that most others lacked, which is his poetic abilities. Waley was as much a poet himself as a translator, and while his scholarly erudition was matched by a few others at his time, none ever managed to bring out the true character of Chinese poetry quite so well.

The Way Old Friends Do

Ian Hallard

In 1988, two Birmingham school friends tentatively come out to one another: Edward as gay; Peter, even more daringly, as an ABBA fan.
Nearly thirty years later, they meet again – and take a chance by forming the world's first ABBA tribute band in drag. It's a riot of platform boots and dodgy beards, 'Waterloos' and 'Chiquititas', and they couldn't escape if they wanted to. But can Edward and Peter's friendship survive the tribulations of a life on the road?
Ian Hallard's The Way Old Friends Do is a tender, laugh-out-loud comedy about devotion, desire and dancing queens. It premiered at Birmingham Rep in 2023, directed by Mark Gatiss, before touring the UK, including a run at Park Theatre, London.
The play offers every theatre company and drama group all the ingredients to give their audience the time of its life.

Holy Sparks - Poems

Diana Woodcock

Holy Sparks is a collection of poems grounded in a belief in the kinship between the cosmos and its Creator. Biophilic imagery is used throughout the poems to suggest that reverence for the earth is a natural consequence of reverence for God. The language of poetry is used to interconnect the human, natural and sacred, and to express humanity's moral and ethical responsibility to our nonhuman kin. These poems question what it means for humans to live in right relationship with earth's lifesystems, and they suggest that our very identity is tied to our reverence for the natural world. They offer a space of confession, reparation and praise of what remains. Holy Sparks is a call to partake of Earth's wisdom so that we might participate in the Creator's ongoing work.
