Boccaccio in Florence and Other Poems (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

In 2002 and 2005, Menard Press published Then and Now - Words in the Dark and From Now to Then, as the first two books of a three-part work-in-progress. Boccaccio in Florence and Other Poems is a selection from the on-going third instalment, Opus 3. It is also intended as a book in itself with a structure differing from Opus 3 as a whole. Whereas the latter, when completed, will be arranged thematically in three parts, dealing with the emotional/physical, ethical and spiritual life respectively, the order of the poems in the selection is more or less chronological-from Boccaccio and the Dance of Death to the present day. This arrangement offers the reader a historical pre-view of the three fundamental components or concerns of human life on which Opus 3 is based, while exemplifying the various sorts of poetry and prose to be found in it.
