Zdá sa nám, že renesancia je od nás ďaleko, no poéziu Johna Donna, vrcholného predstaviteľa alžbetínskeho obdobia (žil v časoch W. Shakespeara) , v preklade Jany Kantorovej Bálikovej čítame, akoby bol naším súčasníkom.

Brechts Liebesgedichte handeln von der Liebe zu einem einzelnen Menschen ebenso wie von der Liebe zu den Menschen, die aufgerufen sind, den Planeten Erde "bewohnbar" zu machen. Die vorliegende Auswahl enthält alle "klassischen" Liebesgedichte Brechts, die von Werner Hecht 1982 erstmals edierten "priapeischen" Gedichte und die - mit ihrem Bezug auf bestimmte Geliebte - bis dahin zurückgehaltenen Werke. In chronologischer Anordnung zeigen diese Gedichte eine beeindruckende Fülle von Aspekten irdischer wie himmlischer Liebe, aufgeschrieben von einem Mann, den dieses Thema durch alle Jahrzehnte hindurch bis zu seinem Tod beschäftigte.

The treatise delves into the moral and theological complexities surrounding suicide, arguing against the notion that it is inherently sinful. John Donne presents a dialogue between a skeptic and a proponent, examining various philosophical arguments and personal experiences of grief. He suggests that certain circumstances may justify suicide, challenging the dominant Christian view. This significant work of early modern literature continues to provoke thought and discussion, reflecting on the nuanced nature of life and death.

This authoritative edition was formerly published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Donne's poetry and prose - all the major poems, complemented by rarely published letters and extracts from Donne's sermons - to give the essence of his work and thinking.

This edition features John Donne's Devotions, originally printed in 1624, showcasing the profound spiritual reflections of the poet and cleric. The text captures Donne's exploration of faith, mortality, and the human experience, offering readers a glimpse into his introspective and philosophical approach to devotion. The 1923 publication highlights the enduring relevance of Donne's thoughts and the historical context of his work.

Ob unverhohlen erotisch oder weltentrückt, ob frivol oder zärtlich, ob lebensfroh oder todverhangen, John Donne führt souverän alle Spielarten und Tonlagen der Liebespoesie vor.
