Sinopse

In the Saddle: A Collection of Poems on Horseback-Riding is an evocative anthology that celebrates the deep, intricate bond between humans and horses through the art of poetry. This collection features diverse voices that articulate the visceral experiences of riding, from the exhilarating freedom of galloping across open fields to the quiet introspection found in the rhythm of a trotting stride. The literary style ranges from lyrical and romantic to stark and vivid, reflecting the myriad emotions that horseback riding elicits. Set against various contexts—from pastoral landscapes to competitive arenas—these poems underscore the horse's role not just as a creature of burden but as a companion and muse. The anthology is a testament to the various poets and writers who have been shaped by their experiences with horses, each bringing their unique background to the verse. Many contributors are equestrians themselves, blending their passion for horseback riding with a profound understanding of nature and human connection. This duality often leads to philosophical explorations of freedom, grace, and the untamed spirit that both rider and equine embody. In the Saddle invites readers—not only equestrians but anyone who appreciates the beauty of language—to reflect on their own experiences with nature and the profound relationships that shape our lives. This collection is a must-read for those who seek both the thrill of adventure and the serenity of the written word.

    "Beowulf" is an Old English epic poem and one of the most significant and influential works of early English literature. Consisting of over 3,000 lines, it narrates the tale of its hero, Beowulf, and his adventures as he battles the monster Grendel, Grendel's mother, and later in his life, a dragon. The poem delves into themes of heroism, bravery, the transient nature of life, and the conflict between good and evil. Written by an unknown poet, "Beowulf" dates back to somewhere between the 8th and early 11th century and is preserved in a single manuscript known as the Nowell Codex.

    Paradise Lost is an epic poem written by the Puritan English poet John Milton between 1658 and 1663, and published in 1667. This is a period of English history which encompasses the end of Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth and the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
    Perhaps reflecting some of his country's turmoil during Milton's life, Paradise Lost deals with revolution in Heaven by Satan and his followers against God, their defeat and banishment to Hell, and their subsequent plotting of revenge, leading ultimately to Satan beguiling Eve in Paradise to taste the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge against the explicit command of God. Milton's vivid and poetic description of these events is both dramatic and compelling. The work gained swift acceptance and has always remained a popular and important part of English literature.
    Originally published in ten books, a second edition was published in 1674 arranged into twelve books, the form in which it appears here.
