[French] - Marché des Gobelins: Nouvelle traduction

"Le Marché des Gobelins est un long poème classique, sensuel et magnifique. Écrit au XIX siècle, le Marché des Gobelins a inspiré Alice au pays des merveilles. Il raconte l'histoire de deux sœurs, Laura et Lizzie, tentées par des marchands gobelins diaboliques qui vendent des fruits étonnants. Comme Alice au pays des merveilles, Goblin Market est un chef-d'œuvre surréaliste où la magie, les gobelins diaboliques dépeints comme des diables bestiaux, les fruits défendus rendent le plaisir coupable. Tout au long du poème qui se déroule dans une petite ferme de la campagne britannique, un secret fantasmagorique plane dans l'air comme une allégorie de quelque chose du domaine de l'intimité humaine, quelque chose en conflit avec les plaisirs coupables et les aliments bibliques interdits. Alix Daniel, traductrice et conteuse, insuffle une nouvelle vie à ce poème génial et exquis qui a su demeuré au fil du temps à la fois chrétien et sensuel."

Christina Rossetti: Selected Poems

"Christina Rossetti was born in 1830, the youngest child in an extraordinarily gifted family including the Italian poet and political exile, Gabriele Rossetti. Christina Rossetti's poetry has never disappeared from view. Critical interest in her poetry swelled in the final decades of the twentieth century, a resurgence largely impelled by the emergence of feminist criticism; much of this commentary focuses on gender issues in her poetry and on Rossetti as a woman poet. Collected here are 16 of her most beautiful, haunting, and renowned poems. - Goblin Market - Dremland - A Birthday - Remember - Echo - Winter: My Secret - Fata Morgana - Shut Out - Song - A Bruised Reed Shall He Not Break - Twice - Eve - A Daughter of Eve - A Christmas Carol - Good Friday - Fluttered WingsThis audiobook is fully indexed. Once downloaded, each poem will be listed so you can easily navigate to the individual section."

Born in England – Exploring English Poetry - London

"Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us.Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy.In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history.England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature. Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy. These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art. Genius is written in their names.In this volume the instantly globally recognisable city of London has, for century after century, dominated the country. Its rich history of art, culture and commerce interweave with generation after generation of poets to produce a supremely rich tapestry of undimmed brilliance. Our poets include Alexander Pope, Amy Levy, Edmund Spenser, John Keats, G K Chesterton and a host of others. Genius has many names."

GOBLIN MARKET: Magical tale from the past

"Goblin Market is the classic yet for ever sensual long poem which inspired Alice Adventures in The Wonderland. It tells the story of two sisters, Laura and Lizzie, tempted by diabolical goblin merchants selling magical fruits. Like Alice Adventures In The Wonderland, Goblin Market is a surrealist masterpiece about magic, diabolical goblins portrayed as beastly devils, forbidden fruits and guilty pleasure. Throughout the poem set up in a small farm of the British countryside of the nineteen century, a phantasmagorical secret hangs in the air like an allegory for something from the realm of human intimacy, something in conflict with guilty pleasures and forbidden biblical food. "

[Hebrew] - שוק הגובלינים

"כל ערב שומעות האחיות לורה וליזי את קריאות הגובלינים, המשדלים עלמות צעירות לטעום מפירותיהם המכושפים. ערב אחד נכנעת לורה לפיתוי, ונופלת קרבן לקללת הגובלינים. רק אחותה, ליזי, תוכל להצילה. 'שוק הגובלינים' הוא פואמה משנת 1862, יצירתה המפורסמת ביותר של כריסטינה רוזטי, שהיו שכינוה בחייה גדולת המשוררות הבריטיות. הפואמה נחשבת לאחת מאבני היסוד של ספרות הפנטסיה הבריטית, והיא מהיצירות המצוטטות ביותר בסוגה. מעבר לחשיבותה ההיסטורית, זוהי יצירה כובשת: סיפור מרתק, חדור בקסם אפל ובליריות מרנינה. חריזה פרועה, אזכורים מהברית החדשה, ארוטיקה מרומזת, וומבטים, כל אלה הם רק חלק קטן מהמסע אליו יצאו הקוראים בפואמה הזו, שהיא מעין כתב חידה. זהו אינו ספר ילדים! הפואמה מתפרסמת לראשונה בעברית, בתרגומה של גילי בר-הלל סמו, ובליווי איורים חדשים של עפרה עמית. הספר ראה אור בסיוע מועצת הפיס לתרבות ולאמנות ובסיוע המפעל לתרגום ספרות מופת. כריסטינה רוזטי (1830-1894) נחשבת לאחת המשוררות החשובות של התקופה הוויקטוריאנית. היא נולדה בלונדון, הצעירה מבין ארבעה ילדים, בתו של מלומד ומשורר איטלקי שמצא מקלט מדיני באנגליה בשל דעותיו הפוליטיות. בית המשפחה היה מקום מפגש תרבותי תוסס עבור אמנים ואקדמאים, ומגיל צעיר הנחילו לילדים את אהבת האמנות והספרות ועודדו אותם לכתוב ולצייר. לימים, ייסדו אחיה ויליאם ודנטה גבריאל את התנועה הפרה-רפאליטית באמנות. היא קיבלה חינוך ביתי, דיברה אנגלית ואיטלקית, וידעה לקרוא בצרפתית, לטינית וגרמנית. את שיריה הראשונים התחילה לכתוב בגיל שתיים-עשרה, ובשנת 1862 יצאה לאור הפואמה 'שוק הגובלינים', יצירתה המפורסמת ביותר. בעקבות התדרדרות מצבה הכלכלי של המשפחה, כמו גם מצבה הבריאותי, התחזקה אמונתה הדתית, מה שבא לידי ביטוי גם בשירתה המתוחכמת. היא שאבה את השראתה מהתנ'ך, מהפולקלור ומיצירות קלאסיות עליהם התחנכה ולא הפסיקה לכתוב עד למותה ב-1894 ממחלה ממושכת. יצירותיה השפיעו מאוד על אמנים וכותבים רבים, ביניהם הסופר לואיס קרול והסופרת וירג'יניה וולף."

15 Minutes Of Love Poems - Volume 2

"Love. What is love?The question is asked by each of us but the answer remains elusive. Dictionaries summon up many words but none fulfill. Love itself is often ethereal, felt but only seen in a glance, a look, a fleeting touch. Part of Love’s beauty is perhaps in the fact that the question never can be adequately answered; its ephemeral, a chimera of the heart and only felt. Our own experiences are unique and personal to ourselves and of little help defining it for another.Love is perhaps best expressed through poetry. As Plato said 2500 years ago “At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet”. Writing a love poem for ones’ partner is seen as the most romantic of gestures. It opens our hearts to another's. Lovers love.Here, in this volume history’s greatest poets convey thoughts, feelings and sentiments of love to you in quick (or bite-size) conversations of verse that can slip into your day and your partner's heart."

Winter: A Season In Verse

"At this time of the year as the nights close in and the temperature drops Winter seems like a season that nobody really enjoys and we look forward all the more to Spring. For many children however it is the bounty of Christmas that steals their attention and for others the renewal of the New Year. But for Nature it is pause for breath, to take stock of what has gone by in the year to date and ready herself for the energies and dramatic development to the landscape that Spring will bring. But Winter has its beauty too; the frost or snow covered ground, the grey swell of a winters sea and the bleak yet beautiful imagery of the landscape. Our collection of poems brings together the talents of many best loved poets such as Thomas Hardy, Robert Browning, Emily Dickinson, Daniel Sheehan, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Robert Louis Stevenson and Emily Bronte are amongst many who catalogue and celebrate the season and its feelings in unique and telling ways. This collection is read for you by Ghizela Rowe And Gideon Wagner."
