Sinossi
La nuova traduzione di Stallings delle Opere e dei giorni di Esiodo, spiritosa, grintosa e inquietantemente rilevante, è da non perdere. TLS, Libri dell'anno NELLA CLASSIFICA PER IL PREMIO RUNICMAN 2019 Una nuova traduzione in versi di una delle opere fondamentali dell'antica Grecia del premiato poeta AE Stallings. Esiodo fu il primo 'poeta' autoproclamatosi tale nella letteratura occidentale, venerato dagli antichi Greci. Apparentemente scritto per rimproverare e istruire il fratello pigro, Le opere e i giorni racconta la storia del vaso di Pandora e il posto dell'umanità in un mondo decaduto. Mescolando il cosmico e il terreno, e mescolando mito, descrizione lirica, digressioni personali, astronomia, proverbi e consigli pratici su compiti e rituali rurali, è anche un inno al duro lavoro onesto come salvezza dell'uomo. Questa nuova e vibrante traduzione in versi del premiato poeta AE Stallings trasmette la chiarezza e l'inaspettato umorismo di un'opera fondamentale della letteratura classica.
