All languages are Allah’s. He has revealed, created, and moulded them, shaped them throughout the ages. Originally, mankind was one tribe S2 V213, and from it, all people descend, and all tongues, dialects, and vernaculars. So, there is a common bond, a genetic unity reflected also in words and cultures. Ultimately, this bond also exists in our common faith. The way that Allah communicates with man is through a common matrix of speech, and the way He reveals is through poetry, using metaphors and allegories.

Tutoyant avec aisance, à rebours des modes, une forme classique très maîtrisée, Michel Houellebecq met en scène dans ses poèmes un quotidien contemporain et urbain. Ses vers nous parlent de lui, nous parlent de nous et accèdent à l'universel, installant ainsi leur auteur, comme un Villon de la modernité, au rang des grands poètes populaires.

C'est avec "Andromaque", tragédie en cinq actes, représentée pour la première fois le 17 novembre 1667 devant la Reine, au château du Louvre à Paris, que Jean Racine connaît la gloire.

"La mort de Marguerite Duras" est l'une des rares pièces de Pavlovsky traduites en français, parmi la vingtaine d'œuvres théâtrales qu'on compte à son actif. Elle fut publiée et créée à Buenos Aires en 2000. Elle nous livre le monologue d'un homme qui, face à l'image d'une mouche qui agonise, puis meurt, revient sur des scènes marquantes de son passé, entre humour, violence et absurdité.

The office of Poet Laureate goes back many centuries - informally to the time of Geoffrey Chaucer in 1389 and followed thereafter by a number of ‘volunteer laureates’. It was formally assigned to Ben Jonson in 1617 and, as a Royal office by letters patent in 1670, to John Dryden. It is a rich, rewarding history that bursts with the words, themes and visions of many great poets that has bound poetry and poets to a nation's soul.

Gérard Labrunie dit Gérard de Nerval, est né le 22 mai 1808, à Paris. Il décida d'y terminer volontairement ses jours et on le retrouva pendu, rue de la Vieille Lanterne, à l'aube du 26 janvier 1855. L'existence entière de Nerval fut dominée par l'obsession d'une autre vie dont seuls les rêves nous rendent compte. Aurélia est l'adorable créature surgie de ce monde invisible. Comme il l'a dit à Alexandre Dumas, Nerval était doué de la faculté de s'identifier à des personnages réels ou légendaires.

Questa è una raccolta di due testi, di Ovidio e di Catulle Mendès, che l'editore ha sottotitolato come “fisiologia comparata degli amori degli antichi romani e dei parigini moderni”, affidando la prefazione dell'opera appunto ad un fisiologo, il medico e scienziato Paolo Mantegazza. Ma è inutile dire che l'accenno alla medicina è volutamente paradossale, tanto il celebrato amore terreno sia impenetrabile agli innumerevoli sforzi di razionalizzarlo.

"Questo è un libro sull'adolescenza, un dizionario mitologico dell'adolescenza che canta il corpo dell'uomo in mutazione incarnandolo in poesia". Vittorio Sermonti, autore, dantista, narratore e traduttore ha saputo, come forse nessun altro, dare vita a un discorso pubblico intorno ai classici.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a classic narrative poem that follows the harrowing journey of a mariner who faces supernatural occurrences and the consequences of his actions. Each poem in this collection showcases Coleridge's mastery of language, imagery, and symbolism, inviting readers on a journey through landscapes both real and imagined. From the eerie enchantment of "Kubla Khan" to the gothic suspense of "Christabel" and the tranquil introspection of "Frost at Midnight," this collection offers a diverse range of poetic experiences.

The Eve of St. Agnes was first published in 1820 in a collection containing many of Keat's best-known poems. Several of these were retellings of stories that were popular in the Middle Ages and earlier times.

Whispered tales of ages long ago, Do they still enchant, their magic glow? Into realms of Renaissance, with grace, alight, With Eternal Sonnets, feel passions ignite. Bound in pages, passion’s timeless quest, Each sonnet shines, among the very best. Elizabethan tales reborn, their voice so true, Their timeless allure, ever beckoning you. Through echoes of Shakespeare, ancient love resounds, Its timeless rhythm, in every heartbeat it’s found. Heavenly desires and earthly passions blend, In tales of an era, where love knows no end.

Rilkes Verse mit Kopf und Herz begreifen. Die "Duineser Elegien" gehören zum Schönsten, das in deutscher Sprache geschrieben wurde. Über zehn Jahre, von 1912–1922, arbeitete Rainer Maria Rilke an den Elegien, deren Thema die Fülle des menschlichen Daseins ist. Das Schauspieler:innen-Paar Franziska Walser und Edgar Selge widmet sich ihnen seit Jahren in gefeierten Darbietungen. Sie lesen sie nicht vor, sondern lassen sich vom Augenblick leiten und rezitieren die Elegien frei. So entsteht an jedem Abend etwas Einmaliges, das die Grenzen einer Lesung sprengt.

William Butler Yeats's early poetry is suffused with the radiant lyricism of Irish folklore and myth; the yearning romance and distinctly Irish voice of these first works of the Nobel laureate have inspired scores of poets. This splendid selection offers a distinctive sampling of the Yeatsian...

Like his great contemporaries, John Keats and Lord Byron, Shelley suffered an untimely death, but still managed to stun the world with a wide-ranging body of work, including poetry, drama, and criticism. His poetry is that of a young man, a lover of nature and fiercely critical of institutionalized corruption, and virtuosic in his use of language and imagery.
