"Lamia" is a narrative poem, that tells how the god Hermes hears of a nymph who is more beautiful than all. Hermes, searching for the nymph, instead comes across a Lamia, trapped in the form of a serpent. She reveals the previously invisible nymph to him and in return he restores her human form. She goes to seek a youth of Corinth, Lycius, while Hermes and his nymph depart together into the woods. The relationship between Lycius and Lamia, however, is destroyed when the sage Apollonius reveals Lamia's true identity at their wedding feast, whereupon she seemingly disappears and Lycius dies of grief. Also, Keats's poem had a deep influence on Edgar Allan Poe's sonnet "To Science". John Keats (1795 – 1821) was an English Romantic poet. The poetry of Keats is characterized by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analyzed in English literature.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In John Keats' 'Lamia (Complete Edition)', the poet masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the tension between reality and the sublime, using rich, sensuous language and vivid imagery characteristic of the Romantic era. The poem centers on the tragic tale of Lamia, a snake-woman who transforms into a beautiful woman to seduce the young Hermus. Through this poignant mythological framework, Keats delves into themes of love, desire, and the ephemeral nature of beauty, all while employing a lyrical style that captivates the reader's imagination. The nuanced interplay of joy and sorrow within the poem challenges the conventional boundaries of love and illusion, evoking a layered emotional experience that is both haunting and beautiful. John Keats, one of the foremost figures of the English Romantic movement, was deeply influenced by the interplay of art and nature, as well as the transient nature of beauty--a concept that resonates throughout 'Lamia.' His personal struggles with love, mortality, and unfulfilled aspirations likely inspired him to craft this complex narrative, where the quest for love is simultaneously a search for understanding and fulfillment. Keats' own ephemeral life, which concluded far too soon, lends an authentic urgency to his exploration of these themes. Readers seeking a profound exploration of the contrasts between the real and the imagined, the natural and the supernatural, will find 'Lamia' to be an essential addition to the Romantic canon. Keats invites us to confront the paradoxes of love and existence, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts and minds. This complete edition not only resurrects an iconic poem but also allows contemporary readers to engage with Keats' timeless reflections on beauty and desire. N° de réf. du vendeur 9788026891482
