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.

Alicia Stallings is an American poet and translator. She has published three books of original verse, Archaic Smile, Hapax, and Olives, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. Her verse translation of Lucretius’s The Nature of Things is published by Penguin Classics.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A new verse translation of one of the foundational ancient Greek works by the award-winning poet Alicia StallingsThe ancient Greeks revered Hesiod, believing he had beaten Homer in a singing contest, and that after his dead body was thrown to sea it was brought back by dolphins. His Works and Days is one of the most important early works of Greek poetry. Ostensibly written by the poet to chide his lazy brother, it recounts the story of Pandora's box and humanity's decline since the Golden Age, and can be read as a celebration of rural life and a hymn to work.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 'Stallings's new translation of Hesiod's Works and Days - witty, gritty, and unsettlingly relevant - is not to be missed' TLS, Books of the YearSHORTLISTED FOR THE 2019 RUNICMAN AWARDA new verse translation of one of the foundational ancient Greek works by the award-winning poet A. E. Stallings.Hesiod was the first self-styled 'poet' in western literature, revered by the ancient Greeks. Ostensibly written to chide and educate his lazy brother, Works and Days tells the story of Pandora's jar and humanity's place in a fallen world. Blending the cosmic and the earthy, and mixing myth, lyrical description, personal asides, astronomy, proverbs and down-to-earth advice on rural tasks and rituals, it is also a hymn to honest toil as man's salvation. This vibrant new verse translation by award-winning poet A. E. Stallings conveys the clarity and unexpected humour of a founding work of classical literature. Codice articolo LU-9780141197524
