Risultati per "Robert Louis Stevenson" in Poesia

From the laughter of playtime to the quiet moments of reflection, these lyrical poems bring to life the beauty of simple pleasures—gardens blooming under the sun, adventures dreamt beneath the stars, and the tender bond between parent and child. Each verse invites listeners to rediscover the world through the eyes of a child, where every shadow holds a story and every breeze whispers of adventure.

This collection of 64 short poems has become a classic work of children’s literature. The poems are written from the point of view of a child. The author brilliantly recaptures the magical world of childhood innocence, in which the most mundane of experiences can become a source of wonder.

In this series we look at some of our leading classic authors across two genres: the short story and the poem. In this modern world there is an insatiable need to categorise and pigeon-hole everyone and everything. But ideas, these grains and saplings of the brain, need to roam, to explore and find their perfect literary use vehicle. Our authors are masters of many literary forms, perhaps known for one but themselves favouring another.

El padre de La isla del tesoro solo llegó a publicar dos libros de poemas en vida, pero dejó muchos inéditos. Hacia tierras lejanas recoge una selección de los versos más representativos de su poesía sencilla y cercana, en un estilo directo, realista y melancólico. Minado por una enfermedad temprana, Stevenson se tambaleó durante toda su vida entre la nostalgia y la alegría. Sin embargo, sus versos conjuran paraísos de libertad, parajes entre el sueño y la realidad que maravillan al lector con la misma magia de esas islas, tesoros y piratas que nos cautivaron cuando éramos niños.

Night. The day has gone. Departed. And the dark embrace, the inky shadows of night descend. For many a time to unwind and slumber. For some a nagging doubt that all is not well. That some primeval and primordial happening may yet go bump in the night. But for our poets the night is a time of wonder and imagination as well as many other emotions and feelings. Among our ranks of gloried talents are Keats, Coleridge, William Morris, DH Lawrence, Whitman, Longfellow and many more besides. Their descriptions capture what they see and feel as perhaps only a poet can.

Over the far horizon the blanket of night begins to slowly dissolve. The sun is once more on its daily journey across the heavens. The light begins to sharpen and increase in intensity, revealing the landscape. Morning has begun, and dazed heads and sleepy faces come to terms with the new day. Our poets capture the mood, the emotions and all manner of other details in their descriptions of this time. But then with the calibre of wordsmiths such as Tennyson, Wordsworth, Milton, Southey, Donne and many more besides, we are almost spoilt.

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.

In this volume of classic poetry our wordsmiths are our companions on journeys near and far. They describe and create worlds that we can explore with them, word by word and line by line. In the company of Keats, Wordsworth, Bronte, Whitman, Kipling and a wealth of others these journeys in verse will be like no other.
