Selected Poems from Michelangelo Buonarroti (Italian and English) cover

Selected Poems from Michelangelo Buonarroti (Italian and English)

Rate this audiobook

Conosciuto ampiamente sia come pittore che come scultore, Michelangelo Buonarroti era anche un poeta di talento, sebbene egli stesso sminuisse il valore della sua poesia. Gli sopravvivono più di 300 poesie e la raccolta qui presentata è, ovviamente, limitata nella sua ampiezza, ma si potrebbe dire che sia rappresentativa delle sue opere migliori. Queste poesie sono piuttosto personali nella loro natura e possono richiedere più letture per coglierne tutta la forza e il significato. L’ascoltatore troverà ogni poesia nel suo originale italiano e poi nella sua traduzione in inglese. Known widely as both a painter and sculptor, Michelangelo Buonarroti was also a talented poet, although he downplayed his poetry’s worth. More than 300 poems survive him and the collection presented here is, of course, limited in its breadth, but might be said to be representative of his best work. These poems are rather personal in their nature and may require multiple readings to grasp their full force and significance. The listener will find each poem in its original Italian and then its English translation. – Summary by KevinS     [chương_files]

קוֹצוֹ שֶׁל יוּד היא פואמה עברית רחבת-יריעה של יהודה ליב גורדון (יל”ג), שהתפרסמה בהמשכים בכתב העת “השחר” שבעריכת פרץ סמולנסקין בשנת תרל”ו (1876), ואחר-כך שוכללה על ידי המשורר וקיבלה את צורתה הסופית בחודש אב תרל”ח (1878). שמה של הפואמה נגזר מהמסופר בעלילה, על רב שפסל גט, אותו השיגה אישה עגונה מבעלה, עקב האות י’ שחסרה הייתה בשם הבעל. בספרות העברית ידועה הפואמה כאחת המחאות הפואטיות החריפות כנגד השלטון הרבני על הקהילה מצד אחד, וקיפוח זכויותיהן של נשים מצד שני. “The Point on Top of the Yodh” is a Hebrew poem by Judah Leib Gordon that was published serially in 1876 in the journal Hashachar (edited by Peretz Smolenskin) and refined by the poet into its final form in 1878. The title of the poem is derived from its story of a woman who obtains a divorce document from her husband, who had deserted her. However, a rabbi invalidates the divorce document because of a missing letter (a yodh) in the husband’s name. The poem is considered one of the strongest protests in Hebrew literature against rabbinic rule over the community and discrimination against women. (Summary from Wikipedia)     [chương_files]

Silk-Hat Soldier and Other Poems in War Time

Rate this audiobook

This stirring collection of inspirational war-time poems by the renowned author Richard le Gallienne, offers an insightful examination of a world forced to endure one of the most trying and tragic times in history. In these magnificent poems we witness first hand the pathos of humanity torn apart by World War I, a war like no other, a war affecting all walks of life and inspiring acts of courage, self-sacrifice and gallantry on a scale previously unknown. This was a war that brought society together in ways formerly inconceivable, that brought classes together, that brought souls and spirits together to fight for a cause that was deemed honorable, righteous and just. This was also a war that brought nations to their knees and people to the abyss of despair. The remarkable skill of le Gallienne takes the reader to the brink of his own despair and frustration, then by demonstrating the power of determination, hope, inspiration and the anticipation of success, this distinguished poet demonstrates the strength of the human spirit to overcome, conquer, and triumph, despite conditions of unimaginable adversity and deprivation. – Summary by Bruce Kachuk     [chương_files]

Edgar Allan Poe (19 de enero de 1809 – 7 de octubre de 1849), escritor romántico estadounidense, cuentista, poeta, crítico y editor, unánimemente reconocido como uno de los maestros universales del relato breve. Es considerado el padre del cuento de terror psicológico y del short story en su país. A pesar que Poe es reconocido hasta a la actualidad por sus grandiosas obras de terror psicológico, tiene también entre su basta literatura obras como la presente, en la que contrariamente a lo que reflejaba su natural escritura, nos encontramos con su lado mas sensible, esto es su poesía. Algunas críticas negativas respecto de los poemas de Poe indican que existe una gran diferencia entre este tipo de verso y la narrativa de sus cuentos cortos de terror, sin embargo Poe ha sabido reflejar en sus poemas una hermosa musicalidad, las que se pueden ver reflejada en poemas como Las campanas y Annabel Lee, así mismo, para cerrar con broche de oro, nos narra el poema (que bien pudiera pasar como relato corto) El Cuervo, que sin duda alguna ha sido uno de los mas halagados, en el que se ve reflejado su innato talento para la intriga psicológica. El presente libro consta de 29 poemas. ​ Summary by KendalRigans.     [chương_files]

Greetings from Longfellow

Rate this audiobook

This is a wonderful selection of six of the greatest works from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, unquestionably one of the world’s most celebrated poets. Despite its small size, the book covers a wide spectrum of the poet’s thoughts and ideas, from those on patriotism, to the inherent uncertainty of the human condition, to hope for the future – and all with a strong faith in the ability of humanity to see life through successfully. These themes, coupled with an overall tenor of joy and optimism in the face of challenges inherent in the struggle for mankind’s survival, make this work a most enjoyable addition to the library of a poet of Longfellow’s distinction. – Summary by Bruce Kachuk     [chương_files]
