Riunendo una serie di miti e leggende ingegnosamente collegati, le metamorfosi di ovidio, deliziosamente spiritose e toccanti, descrivono un mondo magico in cui uomini e donne vengono trasformati, spesso dall'amore, in fiori, alberi, animali, pietre e stelle. Pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1567, questa traduzione fondamentale di arthur golding è stata la prima grande edizione inglese dell'epopea, che include racconti come la leggenda di narciso; la parabola di icaro; e la passione della strega-regina circe per il grande enea. Un avvincente adattamento che ha utilizzato immagini familiari alla società inglese del sedicesimo secolo, ha influenzato fortemente spenser, shakespeare e il carattere della letteratura elisabettiana.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Golding makes Ovid both dreamy and robust. Here we can listen to the English language as it moves confidently into the highest eloquence" - Tom PaulinBringing together a series of ingeniously linked myths and legends, Ovid's deliciously witty and poignant Metamorphoses describes a magical world in which men and women are transformed - often by love - into flowers, trees, animals, stones and stars. First published in 1567, this landmark translation by Arthur Golding was the first major English edition of the epic, which includes such tales as the legend of Narcissus; the parable of Icarus; and the passion held by the witch-queen Circe for the great Aeneas. A compelling adaptation that used imagery familiar to English sixteenth-century society, it powerfully influenced Spenser, Shakespeare and the character of Elizabethan literature. In "The Metamorphoses", Ovid draws on Greek mythology, Latin folklore, and tales from Babylon and the East to create a series of narrative poems, linked by the common theme of transformation. This is Arthur Golding's 16th-century translation of the verses. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780140422306
