Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Bride of Corinth and Other Poems & Plays' is a significant collection that showcases the lyrical and dramatic range of the Nobel Prize-winning author Anatole France. While celebrated primarily for his prose, this volume reveals France's mastery of verse and his deep fascination with historical and philosophical themes. The title work, 'The Bride of Corinth', is a poignant verse drama set against the backdrop of the early Christian era, exploring the tragic conflict between ancient pagan traditions and the rising tide of religious asceticism. Accompanying this central piece are several other poetic works and plays that demonstrate the author's refined aesthetic and his engagement with classical motifs. Each selection reflects France's signature wit, intellectual depth, and his ability to weave complex human emotions into structured, rhythmic beauty. This collection serves as a vital testament to France's position as a titan of French letters, offering readers a comprehensive look at his contributions to the theater and poetry of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It remains an essential work for those exploring the evolution of European literature and the enduring power of classical storytelling.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
