Описание: Mathematician, author, photographer, and artist, Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, 1832-1898) is best known as the creator of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but he was also a prolific poet. Over the course of almost 50 years, he created 150 poems, including nonsense verse, parodies, burlesques, acrostics, inscriptions, and more, many of them hilarious lampoons of some of the more sentimental and moralistic poems of the Victorian era. This carefully chosen collection contains 38 of Carroll's most appealing verses, including such classics as "The Walrus and the Carpenter," "The Mock Turtle's Song," and "Father William," plus such lesser-known gems as "My Fancy," "A Sea Dirge," "Brother and Sister," "Hiawatha's Photographing," "The Mad Gardener's Song," "What Tottles Meant," "Poeta Fit, non Nascitur," "The Little Man That Had a Little Gun," and many others. Filled with Carroll's special brand of imaginative whimsy and clever wordplay, this original anthology will delight fans of the author as well as other readers who relish a little laughter with their lyrics.

Автор: Service Robert Название: The Spell of the Yukon and Other Poems ISBN: 0486476898 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780486476896 Издательство: Dover Рейтинг: Цена: 5750.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: There are strange things done in the midnight sun, declared Robert Service as he related the fulfillment of a dying prospector's request. The Cremation of Sam McGee was based on one of many peculiar tales he heard upon his 1904 arrival in the Canadian frontier town of Whitehorse. Less than a decade after the Klondike gold rush, many natives and transplants remained to tell stories of the boom towns that sprang up with the sudden influx of miners, gamblers, barflies, and other fortune-seekers. Service's compelling verses -- populated by One-Eyed Mike, Dangerous Dan McGrew, and other colorful characters -- recapture the era's venturesome spirit and vitality. In this, his best-remembered work, the common man's poet and Canadian Kipling presents thirty-four verses that celebrate the rugged natural beauty of the frozen North and the warm humanity of its denizens. Verses include The Shooting of Dan McGrew (A bunch of the boys were whooping it up in the Malamute saloon), The Heart of the Sourdough (There where the mighty mountains bare their fangs unto the moon), and The Call of the Wild (Have you gazed on naked grandeur where there's nothing else to gaze on). Generations have fallen under the spell of these poems, which continue to enchant readers of all ages.
Автор: Liszt, Franz Название: Les Pr?ludes and Other Symphonic Poems in Full Score ISBN: 0486283224 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780486283227 Издательство: Dover Цена: 16510.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This authoritative edition presents full-score reproductions of three of Liszt's best-known symphonic poems. Les Preludes (Symphonic Poem No. 3) grew out of the composer's unpublished choral setting of Joseph Autran's poem "The Four Elements," blending stirring martial music and lovely pastoral themes to make this work the most popular of the symphonic poems. Mazeppa (Symphonic Poem No. 6) evokes Victor Hugo's portrayal of the Cossack leader and the symbolic triumph that comes only after defeat: "He runs, he flies, he falls, and stands up king " Heroide Funebre (Symphonic Poem No. 8) is the last vestige of the monumental Revolutionary Symphony, planned but never completed, suggesting universal brotherhood: a fine, heroic, dignified funeral march. In these richly sonorous works, Liszt explored the concept of the one-movement "transformation of themes," an approach to composition that Wagner would carry forward in his development of the leitmotif. Liszt's expanding chromaticism would be no less influential, anticipating the twentieth century's embrace of atonality. Frequently performed favorites of audiences around the world, these three works are reprinted from the original Breitkopf & Hartel edition.
