Jousts of Aphrodite: Erotic Verse Translated from the Original Greek (English and Ancient Greek Edition)

The erotic content of the Greek Anthology, a collection of poems written in the time of Caesar and assembled by Byzantine scholars nearly one thousand years ago, has long been consigned to the obscurity of specialized academic study. Here, in his humorous and lyrical modern adaptations, Kelly recaptures for the modern reader the essence of the originals - unashamed enjoyment of sex and the celebration of sensual love.

Ariadne's Thread: Polish Women Poets

Susan Bassnett

Naked Machine

Matthías Johannessen

Contains perhaps the greatest epic poem of revolution in twentieth century literature. Milev's `September', written to commemorate the uprising of Bulgarian workers and peasants in 1923 (regarded in Bulgaria as the first anti-fascist rising in Europe), is a poem of astonishing power. The poem cost him his life; he was convicted by military authorities for publishing a seditious work and was murdered in custody in 1925 at the age of thirty. This includes an extract from the film script made of Milev's life, and an introduction and preface by his daughter.
