A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

AFTER RECEIVING ITS ORIGINAL COPYRIGHT IN 2002 IT HAD BEEN SUDDENLY DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS THE VERY FIRST BOOK IN ENGLISH LITERATURE THAT DESCRIBED THE ENTIRE LIFE OF JESUS OF NAZARETH IN A POETICAL LANGUAGE OF A CONTEMPORARY SONNET. SINCE ITS INCEPTION WITH SHAKESPEARE AND THE XVITH CENTURY RENAISSANCE ERA THERE HAS BEEN NO WORK OF THIS CATEGORY IN THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH POETRY. OF COURSE, THERE ARE MANY POEMS DEDICATED TO THE PLETHORA OF TOPICS/EVENTS DESCRIBED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT (E.G. ANNUNCIATION, NATIVITY, RESURRECTION ETC.) BUT SO FAR THERE HASN'T BEEN A 'SONNETICAL' POETRY COLLECTION PRODUCED BY JUST ONE AUTHOR THAT COHESIVELY PORTRAYED THE ENTIRE LIFE OF CHRIST. CONVERSELY, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF WORKS IN THE LIBRARIES AROUND THE WORLD DEDICATED TO THE LIFE OF JESUS, BUT THEY ARE ALL WRITTEN IN A LANGUAGE OF PROSE. WHAT FOLLOWS ON THE PAGES OF THIS BOOK IS NOT NECESSARILY THE PRODUCT OF A ONE FIXED DENOMINATIONAL PREFERENCE BUT IT COULD BE ALSO VIEWED AS THE WORK OF ART. AS WE KNOW IT, JESUS FROM NAZARETH, REGARDLESS OF THE RELIGIOUS OR PHILOSOPHICAL ORIENTATION, IS ONE OF THE MOST FASCINATING FIGURES OF ALL TIME. IN PAST CENTURIES, MANY ARTISTS FOCUSED THEIR MOST CREATIVE EFFORTS ON UNCOVERING THE UNIQUENESS OF JESUS' LIFE. THE MUSEUMS AROUND THE WORLD ARE FULL OF BIBLICAL ICONOGRAPHY THAT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TIMELESS AND TIMELY. FROM THE LOUVRE OF PARIS TO THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, FROM THE BRITISH MUSEUM TO THE VATICAN MUSEUMS WE CAN NOTICE THAT THE MOST OUTSTANDING PURSUITS OF HUMAN SPIRIT IN THE REALM OF ART ARE FOUND ON BIBLICAL THEMES. THIS BOOK WAS INSPIRED ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE BY THE PROLIFIC VIRTUOSITY OF LEONARDO DA VINCI, MICHELANGELO AND MANY OTHER RENAISSANCE AND BAROQUE MASTERS WHO CREATED THE IMMORTAL BIBLICAL REMEMBRANCES. THESE WORKS OF ART HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE INFINITE SPIRITUAL, CULTURAL, AND MONETARY VALUE. BY THE SAME TOKEN, THE POETRY FROM THE ANCIENT TIMES HAS BEEN CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT FORMS OF ART. WILLIA

Biographie de l'auteur :

The author of 'Poetical Life' has master's degree in theology for a treatise that he actually wrote on a philosophical subject. He traveled extensively to different parts of the world. Most recently he returned from Iraq where he had served performing a non-combatant mission. Among others his interests include such subjects like esthetics, fine arts, Latin, ancient history, classical music, self-healing, natural diet, meditation, oriental religions and more on the hobby side: yoga and tennis. Author always believed that the greatest literature of the world came to fruition as a reflection upon powerful philosophical ideas.This is an atypical collection of poetry and was not written to enhance literary credentials or personal achievement. The author experienced several mystical encounters that involved the central subject of this work. It was that series of encounters, which led specifically to the initiation and completion of this poetical project. Without that transcendental guidance this work would never have seen daylight in this particular time.
