John Payne was een Engelse dichter en vertaler, bekend om zijn invloedrijke vertalingen van klassieke werken zoals De Decamerone, Duizend-en-één Nacht en de Diwan van Hafez. Zijn latere betrokkenheid bij de publicatie van limited editions en de Villon Society benadrukt zijn toewijding aan de literaire kunst. Payne beschouwde Hafez, Dante en Shakespeare als de drie grootste dichters ter wereld, wat zijn diepe bewondering voor de literaire traditie weerspiegelt.
Francois Villon was born in Paris in 1431. While we do not know what became of Villon after his 32nd year, the poems he produced in just six years capture in forceful, intelligent and candid verse the low and high life of Paris. This book presents a translation of his works. schovat popis
Naughty, bawdy and newly repackaged, this medieval masterpiece is set against the background of the Black Death of 1348. The hundred linked tales in Boccaccio's masterpiece are peopled by nobles, knights, nuns, pilgrims, thieves and lovers - both faithful and faithless.
This is a comprehensive view of Catalan history and culture from its classical and medieval origins right up until 2004. Payne's personal tone brings alive highlights of Catalan history and leading personalities of its cultural life.
