Visions in Poetry is an exciting and unique series of classic poems illustrated by outstanding contemporary artists in stunning hardcover editions. The fifth book in the series, Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," delves into the hidden horrors of the human psyche. Originally published in 1845, the poem is narrated by a melancholy scholar brooding over Lenore, a woman he loved who is now lost to him. One bleak December at midnight, a raven with fiery eyes visits the scholar and perches above his chamber door. Struggling to understand the meaning of the word his winged visitant repeats -- "Nevermore " -- the narrator descends by stages into madness. Illustrator Ryan Price's exquisitely grim illustrations suggest a background story shaped by the narrator's guilt, embodied in the terrifying figure of the raven. Price's drypoint technique, with its rich blacks and feathery lines, perfectly captures the nightmarish atmosphere of this unforgettable poem.

V Cyranovi de Bergerac Rostand šťastně spojil výraznou postavu s poutavým historickým rámcem 17. století – obdobím kardinála Richelieu a mušketýrů – a s žánrem veršovaného dramatu, jaké se v té době psalo.

Jaroslav Vrchlický! Jméno tohoto čítankového básníka zná dnes každý, jeho básně nečte téměř nikdo. V jakés takés obecné známosti přetrvává několik jímavých či dětinsky přisprostlých veršovánek (Za trochu lásky šel bych světa kraj, Balada o hovně, Rytíř Smil), které nepatří právě k vrcholům české poezie. Wernischův výbor KABINET MISTRA VRCHLICKÉHO je naplněn skvosty, jejichž kvalita je evidentní. Řečeno decentně: Kdo si zde nenajde nic, co by jej zaujalo a k čemu by se rád vracel, ten je amúzický špalek!

Erben compiled and wrote A Bouquet based on his studies of Slavic folktales and folk songs. First published in 1853, it is dotted with murder and mayhem : graves opening and the dead walking the earth, the animate becoming the inanimate and vice versa, ogres and monsters of lake and wood, human transformations reminiscent of Ovid's Metamorphoses. Written as ballads, Marcela Sulak's new translation perfectly captures the cadence and rhythm in an English that is fresh and energetic. Through the years A Bouquet has come to be regarded as a masterpiece and wellspring of inspiration to artists of all stripes, including Antonín Dvořák, who composed a series of symphonic poems to some of these tales. Of the many illustrators who have contributed to the various editions that have appeared over the past century and a half, Alén Diviš's artwork is generally considered the most powerful. This edition also includes Erben's own notes explaining the origins of many of these tales.
