[EAN: 9781848310063], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [SC: 4.02], [PU: Icon Books, United Kingdom, Duxford], ANTHONY O'HEAR THE GREAT BOOKS FROM "THE ILIAD" AND ODYSSEY" TO GOETHE'S "FAUST" A JOURNEY THROUGH 2 500 YEARS OF WEST'S CLASSIC LITERATURE, Anthony O'Hear presents a personal tour of the most impressive, influential and era-defining books mankind has ever produced. Paradise Lost, The Canterbury Tales, Don Quixote: great literature can be read by anyone, with a little help. Anthony O'Hear leads the way with this captivating journey through two-and-a-half millennia of books as dark, powerful, erotic, thrilling, politically astute and awe-inspiring as any modern bestseller. We begin with Homer, whose poems of epic struggle have made him the father of Western literature. After Greek tragedy, Plato, and Virgil's Aeneid comes Ovid, whose encyclopaedic Metamorphoses is an inexhaustible source for European art and literature. Via St Augustine we reach Dante, the author of The Divine Comedy, a sublime, terrifying tour through Hell, Purgatory and an ecstatic vision of Paradise. Chaucer, Shakespeare, Cervantes, Milton, Pascal, Racine and finally Goethe complete the cast list. In each case, O'Hear patiently draws out themes, focuses on key passages and explains why they are important. Personal, passionate, painstakingly researched and beautifully illustrated, this is a grand work of reference. But it is also a narrative history shot through with a love of literature, and a deeply-held belief in its power to shape everyone's world. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged., Books<
