The soul is captivated by love... The Complete Poems
9.99 €
In the vast creative legacy of the classic of world literature Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375), poetry has always been in the shadow of the Decameron, the immortal masterpiece of his prose. Meanwhile, throughout his life he wrote love lyrics dedicated to his beloved Maria (whom he called Fiammetta - "fire"), poems, studies of Dante's legacy. The poems, the best of which are quite comparable in skill to the works of Francesco Petrarch, became a kind of record of his feelings and reflections: from the enthusiasm of ardent youth to philosophical and often bitter reflections of mature years. For the first time in Russian is published a complete set of the poet's lyrics, including poems from "The Decameron", in new translations by Alexander Triandafilidi and Vladimir Oslon. Also included in the edition is the poem "Diana's Hunt". The book is illustrated with engravings by the 19th century French artist Tony Joanno (1803-1852).
