Gedichte

Von August bis Dezember 1937, in einer Zeit wachsender Entrechtung und Bedrohung, schrieb Gertrud Kolmar den Zyklus Welten . »Die einzigartige, beinahe übermenschliche Leistung Gertrud Kolmars ist, noch im Augenblick der tödlichen Gefahr, der aussichtslosesten Lebenssituation den Ausbruch, den Übergriff zu riskieren, in sich ein Freiheitsfieber zu entfachen, das uns noch heute - und zu unserem Glück - infizieren kann.« Gerlind Reinshagen

Weil im Zentrum des dichterischen Werks von Konstantinos Kavafis (1863-1933), Begründer der modernen griechische Dichtung, gleichberechtigt neben den Liebesgedichten die historischen Gedichte stehen, tritt neben Um zu bleiben , den erfolgreichen Band mit Liebeslyrik (BS 1020; Radierungen von David Hockney), eine Auswahl der historischen Gedichte - wiederum in Übertragungen von Michael Schroeder. In den historischen Gedichten umkreist Kavafis, der in Konstantinopel und Alexandria lebte, Betrug und Täuschung, Fallen und tapferes Ausharren, Angst und Vermessenheit, stolze Erwartung und vergebliche Mühe - den sicheren, nie aber konkret absehbaren Untergang des Bestehenden. Die Dramaturgie der Personen und Ereignisse ist dicht, auf der Bühne befinden sich die hellenistische Welt und das sterbende Byzanz, Kleinasien, Syrien, Ägypten, der »melting pot« des östlichen Mittelmeers, die Zentren des Durcheinanders: Alexandria, Antiochia, Konstantinopel. Nicht Sternstunden der Geschichte, sondern den vergänglichen Augenblick hält Kavafis fest. Illusionslos, ohne Klage, mit melancholischer Ironie umfahren seine Gedichte die persönliche Wunde: den unwiederbringlichen Verlust einer großen Vergangenheit.

The Aeneidis a Latin epic poem, written by Virgil between 29 and 19 BC, that tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who fled the fall of Troy and travelled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans. It comprises 9,896 lines in dactylic hexameter. The first six of the poem's twelve books tell the story of Aeneas' wanderings from Troy to Italy, and the poem's second half tells of the Trojans' ultimately victorious war upon the Latins, under whose name Aeneas and his Trojan followers are destined to be subsumed.The hero Aeneas was already known to Greco-Roman legend and myth, having been a character in the Iliad. Virgil took the disconnected tales of Aeneas' wanderings, his vague association with the foundation of Rome and his description as a personage of no fixed characteristics other than a scrupulous pietas, and fashioned the Aeneid into a compelling founding myth or national epic that tied Rome to the legends of Troy, explained the Punic Wars, glorified traditional Roman virtues, and legitimized the Julio-Claudian dynasty as descendants of the founders, heroes, and gods of Rome and Troy.The Aeneid is widely regarded as Virgil's masterpiece and one of the greatest works of Latin literature.

Charles Bukowski turns to the bottle in this revelatory collection of poetry and prose that includes some of the writer's best and most lasting work. A self-proclaimed ?dirty old man,? Bukowski used alcohol as muse and as fuel, a conflicted relationship responsible for some of his darkest moments as well as some of his most joyful and illuminating.In On Drinking, Bukowski expert Abel Debritto has collected the writer's most profound, funny, and memorable work on his ups and downs with the hard stuff?a topic that allowed Bukowski to explore some of life's most pressing questions. On Drinking is a powerful testament to the pleasures and miseries of a life in drink, and a window into the soul of one of our most beloved and enduring writers.
