Poems of Sappho
De (autor): Sappho
Plato hailed her as "the Tenth Muse," and 2,500 years later her voice remains dazzling as well as direct and honest. Sappho, a lyric poet from the Greek island of Lesbos, wrote verse that sings to both sexes of desire, rapture, and sorrow. Praised for their simplicity and sincerity, her poems nevertheless evoke powerful and memorable images as well as a sense of unreserved eroticism. Her focus on emotion and individualism sets her work apart from that of her contemporaries, lending it an intimacy that foreshadows modern poetry.
Details about Sappho's life are largely unknown; she is thought to have lived sometime between 612-570 B.C.E., and her poetry was read and admired throughout the ancient world. Today her poems survive in fragmentary form, and she is best known as a symbol of female homosexuality, having inspired the terms "sapphic" and "lesbian." This concise collection of her surviving works features an informative Introduction by translator J. M. Edmonds.

Mi-am comandat si o versiune a poemelor lui Sappho in limba romana si franceza, dar mi se pare ca acestea suna mult mai bine in limba engleza si nici nu este necesar sa cunosti o engleza avansata. Recomand cartea. Cuprinde versuri sensibile, incarcate de emotie. Recunosc totusi, am luat o carte accesibila ca pret, asa ca m-am asteptat de la inceput sa nu fie o calitate prea grozava a hartiei si unele litere sunt cam sterse, insa poezia este extraordinara. Nu sunt o fana prea mare nici a fontului in acest caz, insa repet, pretul micut vine si cu unele dezavantaje. Coperta in schimb arata foarte bine si imi place ca sunt incluse informatii despre viata lui Sappho. Daca va aflati totusi in bani va recomand mai degraba un volum complet al poemelor sale. Am gasit si pe libris si stiu deja ca merita investitia.
