Samuel Taylor Coleridge Knihy

Výber z tvorby básnikov anglickej tzv. jazernej školy.

Antologie z díla anglických raných romantiků. Kostru básnického výboru tvoří skladby Preludium W. Wordswortha a Christabel S. T. Coleridge; jejich působivé ladění podtrhuje další přírodní a intimní lyrika obou autorů. Platický obraz tvorby trojice vzájemně spřízněných romantiků dotváří poezie R. Southeye. Útlá avšak obsažná edice mimo jiné vypovídá o trpkých osudech překladatele V. Renče – vychází čtyřicet let potom, co byl rukopis odevzdán do někdejšího československého nakladatelství Odeon.

Jde o fantastický příběh mořeplavce zahnaného k jižnímu pólu a pronásledovaného pomstou tajemných nadpřirozených sil za úmyslné zabití albatrosa... *** Vychází ke 150. výročí autorova úmrtí.

Výbor z poesie slavného anglického „jezerního básníka“.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is the longest major poem by the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The Poem relates the experiences of a sailor who has returned from a long sea voyage. The mariner stops a man who is on the way to a wedding ceremony and begins to narrate a story. The wedding-guest's reaction turns from bemusement to impatience to fear to fascination as the mariner's story progresses, as can be seen in the language Coleridge uses narrative techniques such as personification and repetition to create a sense of danger, the supernatural, or serenity, depending on the mood in different parts of the poem. Along with other poems in Lyrical Ballads, it was a signal shift to modern poetry and the beginning of British Romantic literature. Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 - 1834) was an English poet, literary critic and philosopher who, with his friend William Wordsworth, was a founder of the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets.
