Krátky popis
A vital, engaging, and hugely enjoyable guide to poetry, from
ancient times to the present, by one of our greatest champions of
literatureThe Times and Sunday Times, Best Books of 2020 ",[A]
fizzing, exhilarating book.",-Sebastian Faulks, Sunday Times What
is poetry? If music is sound organized in a particular way, poetry
is a way of organizing language. It is language made special so
that it will be remembered and valued. It does not always work-over
the centuries countless thousands of poems have been forgotten.But
this Little History is about some that have not. John Carey tells
the stories behind the world's greatest poems, from the oldest
surviving one written nearly four thousand years ago to those being
written today. Carey looks at poets whose works shape our views of
the world, such as Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Whitman, and
Yeats.He also looks at more recent poets, like Derek Walcott,
Marianne Moore, and Maya Angelou, who have started to question what
makes a poem ",great", in the first place. For readers both young
and old, this little history shines a light for readers on the
richness of the world's poems-and the elusive quality that makes
them all the more enticing.
