Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'James Anthony has done something I would have confidently stated to be impossible. He has "translated" Shakespeare’s sonnets and he has done so with an insolent, loveable charm ... A dazzling success’ – Stephen Fry Rediscover the greatest love poetry ever written Shall I compare you to a summer’s day? You’re more delightful, always shining strong; High winds blow hard on flowering buds in May, And summer never seems to last that long... Shakespeare’s sonnets are some of the nation’s favourite lines of verse, but the Elizabethan language can make it difficult to really understand them. Many guides offer to clarify the meaning, but lose the magic of the words by explaining them away. James Anthony has done something boldly different. He has rewritten the whole series of poems as sonnets using modern language, while retaining the rhythm and rhyme patterns that gives them such power. In doing so he breathes new life into the original poems and opens them up for a modern readership, demystifying Shakespeare’s eternal poetry with provocative new translations and delightful new lines. Presented as an attractive book with the original sonnets facing their new translations, this is a stunning collection of beautiful love poems, made new.
Download or read book Sonnets and Love Poems Classic Reprint written by Anna Comtesse de Brémont and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American author Countess Anna de Bremont published Sonnets and Love Poems in 1892. She dedicated this anthology to her deceased husband, Count Leon de Bremont, from whom she got her title. It appears that her distinguished French spouse died early in her adult life, leaving her to wax romantic about his memory and use sonnets as her vehicle in unloading her grief and loneliness at his passing. But rather than think that this volume is nothing but a collection of mournful sonnets by a sentimental widow, consider the other poetic treasures that lay printed on the other pages of this book. The other short literary pieces are wistfully romantic, decidedly passionate, and are infused with a youthful, womanly charm - as if the author has never known grief. Countess de Bremont, who counted Oscar Wilde as one of her friends, does not only write of romantic fantasies and musings. She also dedicates a few verses to Christmas, her mother, some of her friends, and to characters and people she have met or observed. This work is apt for those who have a real appreciation and love for prose and poetry, especially those dating around the turn of the 20th century. This also makes a good gift option for the literary inclined and for female loved ones who are partial to romantic sighings written in verse.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Sonnets Retold written by William Shakespeare and published by Crown. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enlightening and entertaining collection of the most esteemed love poems in the English canon, retold in contemporary language everyone can understand James Anthony has long enjoyed poetry with a strict adherence to beat, rhythm, and rhyming patterns, which he likens to the very best pop songs. This drew him to the rewarding 14-line structure of Shakespeare’s sonnets, yet he often found their abstract language frustratingly unintelligible. One day, out of curiosity, he rewrote Sonnet 18—Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day—line-by-line, in the strict five-beat iambic pentameter and rhyming patterns of the original, but in a contemporary language a modern reader could easily understand. The meaning and sentiment—difficult to spot, initially—came to life, revealing new intricacies in the workings of Shakespeare's heart. And so, James embarked on a full-time, year-long project to rewrite all 154 of the Bard's eternal verses creating SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS, RETOLD. This collection of masterful reinterpretations brilliantly demystifies and breathes new life into Shakespeare's work, demonstrating the continued resonance of a playwright whose popularity remains over 400 years after his death. Now, the passion, heartbreak, deception, reconciliation, and mortality of Shakespeare’s originals can be understood by all, without the need to cross reference to an enjoyment-sapping study-guide. Coming with a foreword by Stephen Fry, this is a stunning collection of beautiful love poems made new.

Imprisoned there I still shall live as memory lives, to shine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Sonnets Classic Reprint written by William Shakespeare and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1865 edition was first printed in 1609 in London. Now, centuries after the Bard of Avon's death, his works remain popular, sought after, and worth republishing. This collection of sonnets is no different. This edition puts Shakespeare's fine 14-line poems in the spotlight, as it is devoid of any foreword, introduction, or any other type of writing but the sonnets. It includes all but one image - which is placed at the beginning of the book. In the absence of sonnet titles, the publishers did not make use of a table of contents. An index of first lines is provided instead, making it easier for the ardent Shakespeare fan to locate a particular sonnet out of the 154 included in the collection. It is delightful to discover that each page contains only a single sonnet, which facilitates clarity and ease of reading, aside from a satisfyingly "uncluttered" look. Reading the sonnets, one cannot but help sighing with delight at the beautiful rhymes and lines. The choice of words, combined with the fact that they do sound well with each other, makes lovers of the written word sigh with utter delight and joy. The romance oozing from virtually every line in Shakespeare's sonnets makes one keep reading one poem after the other compulsively. The clever themed grouping of the sonnets adds to the page-turning appeal of this edition. All in all, this is one volume to carry about, read, and re-read, especially when one needs a healthy dose of creative, or romantic, inspiration.
