Vendeur : Crappy Old Books, Barry, Royaume-Uni
Paperback. Etat : Good. Ah, George Herbert, the poet who danced with divine metaphors and flirted with the sublime while probably wondering why his friends were all so obsessed with pints and football. This exquisite tome, published in 1996 by the ever-ambitious Everyman, invites you to peek into a world where the ethereal meets the earthly, and where discussions of faith could easily segue into debates about which mutton pie was best enjoyed in a damp churchyard. But don?t be fooled! This isn?t just another dusty old collection of poems?oh no, dear reader. Inside, you?ll discover the lyrical sonnets and passionate prayers of a man who could likely out-verse even the most pretentious of modern poets, all while wearing a ruff and probably a pair of surprisingly stylish breeches. This book is like a time capsule, but instead of cheesy 90s nostalgia, it delivers revelations on the human condition that remain startlingly relevant, even in our age of TikTok and avocado toast. Why, you ask, should you invest in this particular volume? Because it serves multiple purposes! Think of it as a charming conversation starter, a paperweight, or even that perfect gift for the friend who insists they?re ?more of a prose person.? With poems that teach you how to turn your existential dread into an art form, it?s like attending a master class in angst, with a side of incense and perhaps a slightly damp hymn book. As you peruse the pages filled with Herbert?s exquisite command of language, you might find yourself contemplating profound themes such as love, faith, and the terribly British pastime of standing in a queue while contemplating one?s entire life. You could even find yourself chuckling at the juxtaposition of high-minded spirituality with the mundane trivialities of daily existence?like trying to remember where you last left your car keys. George Herbert understood this strange balance, and his work reflects a life lived with both reverence and the occasional, bemused eye-roll. And if you?re wondering about the physical state of this literary treasure, let me assure you: Condition: Good. Yes, it may have seen the odd coffee ring or two, likely from a caffeinated philosopher?s late-night pondering session, but rest assured, it is in sturdy form. The pages are intact, and the spine remains resilient, just like Herbert himself in the face of both life?s trials and a particularly stubborn quill. This is a book that has lived?much like its author?through the ages, absorbing the essence of its various owners, each adding a layer of personality like a fine, albeit perhaps slightly dingy, patina. Now, let?s discuss what you might find lurking within these pages. Here?s a tantalizing list of what awaits you: Poems that could make a stone statue weep?if it had feelings. Insights into the nature of divine love, robust enough to tackle the most skeptical of hearts. Wonderfully archaic vocabulary that will impress your friends while simultaneously making you feel like you?ve swallowed a thesaurus. A glimpse into the psyche of a man who probably had a pet goldfish named Piety. Unintentional comedic moments that remind you how absurd life and faith can be. As you dive into the poetic depths of George Herbert, you?ll find yourself oscillating between laughter and contemplation, as if you were at a particularly eccentric dinner party where the guests include Shakespeare, a confused cat, and possibly a rogue historian. So grab your quill, or at least a nice cup of tea, and prepare to be illuminated by a poet who was well ahead of his time, even if he never quite managed to figure out how to order a pint without sounding like a character from a Shakespearean farce. So why not add this quirky artifact to your collection? It?s waiting patiently at Crappy Old Books, eager to find a home where it can once again inspire, frustrate, and perhaps even amuse. And who knows? You might just discover your own inner poet (or at the very least, have a delightful read during your next tea break). THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N° de réf. du vendeur 2757
