Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind? Fast jeder wird diese Zeile vervollständigen können. Aber erst wenn Gert Westphal solche "Theaterstücke im Kleinen" rezitiert, entfalten Balladen ihre ganze Schönheit und Sprachkunst. Der "König der Vorleser" nutzt sein ausdrucksstarkes Stimmrepertoire für die Meisterstücke der deutschen Lyrik und bringt neben beliebten Klassikern auch unbekanntere Schätze zum Klingen.

Story0
Today perhaps we all agree that youth is spoilt, ill-disciplined and in search of constant and instant gratification. No matter how much we love them, our children, as they mature from child to youth, are pampered. A century ago, and even further back, even the most privileged of youth was rarely indulged. In this volume we look at those years of youth through the eyes and pens of classic poets. They reveal times of hardship, of fear, of love and loss.

Love whether fleeting or of the ages, expressed with a look, a touch, or a thought is wanted by us all. Our classic poets did not surrender to the logic of the group or seek advice from others quick to blame but slow to embrace. Their legacy remains because it is true, because in that look, that touch, that thought, that display of words the heart remembers us and treasures us. Here are words and verse of love. For your ears, your loved one’s ears and hearts everywhere.

En 1947 apareció en la revista Trabajos y Días un poema titulado "La barca nevada". Lo firmaba Carmiña Martín Gaite, y suponía el debut de quien buscaba aún su voz, e incluso su nombre. Luego se sucederían los libros en otros géneros, pero Carmen Martín Gaite mantuvo siempre su fidelidad a la poesía. Siguió escribiéndola —así lo demuestran sus cuadernos—, publicándola —con las ediciones ampliadas de A rachas— y recitándola, en cafés y centros culturales, en la grabación digirida por Alberto Pérez que aquí recuperamos.

Our homes are a reflection of us. They say something about ourselves, our families and who we are. This book is about growing up in my mother's house from the 1970s in the inner city of Nottingham, England. Each room in our house had a purpose, playing a part in our family life. Through the stories and poems in each chapter of the book, you can take a glimpse into each room of the house and my experiences in a large Caribbean family, from child to adult. The rooms of my mother's house may be different to yours, but they tell of belonging and becoming.

For generations, Arthur Waley’s lyrical translations served as the primary gateway to Chinese poetry for the English-speaking world. Organized by dynasty, this edition transforms Waley's scattered masterpieces into a coherent historical journey through Chinese literature, from the ancient Zhou foundational texts to the twilight of the Tang. This structure reveals the evolving concerns of Chinese civilization, from ritual and statecraft to intimate personal reflection and profound philosophical inquiry, all through Waley’s singular poetic voice.

Story0
The Shield of Heracles is an archaic Greek epic poem that was attributed to Hesiod during antiquity. The subject of the poem is the expedition of Heracles and Iolaus against Cycnus, the son of Ares, who challenged Heracles to combat as Heracles was passing through Thessaly. It has been suggested that this epic may reflect anti-Thessalian feeling after the First Sacred War (595–585 BCE): in the epic, a Thessalian hero interfering with the Phocian sanctuary is killed by a Boeotian hero (Heracles), whose mortal father Amphitryon had for allies Locrians and Phocians.

American poet, critic, and short-story writer Edgar Allan Poe is universally recognized for his cultivation of the macabre in fiction. His stories are characterized by an original kind of supernatural horror, often using the awareness of death as a catalyzing force in its own right. His tales and poems brim with psychological depth and intense imagery, made vivid through his musical language and hypnotic rhythms, which are especially captivating when heard aloud.

Dois ensaios em que Tristão de Alencar de Araripe Júnior explora personagens públicas de seu tempo. Em "O fetiche", a Rainha Vitória está no centro de seus comentários (críticos), ao tempo em que ela celebrava seu jubileu de ouro. "Viagens de Gulliver", por sua vez, nada fala da obra de Johnattan Swift, mas a obra clássica que empresta seu título ao ensaio serve como metáfora para enaltecer a figura do pedagogo Carlos Jansen, que valorizava a literatura infanto-juvenil entre os jovens estudantes brasileiros do final do século XIX.
