{"product_id":"halcyon-1","title":"Halcyon","description":"\u003cb\u003eGabriele d'Annunzio\u003c\/b\u003e (1863-1938), the most influential and controversial Italian poet of the last hundred years, published his masterpiece Halcyon in 1903. It is a carefully organized sequence of eighty-eight lyrics which, to gain their full effect, must be read as a whole. Halcyon is a 'solar diary' of a summer spent in Tuscany, part of the time with the legendary Eleanora Duse. The poems evoke specific times and places; more importantly, they conjure up emotions, memories and myths associated with each place. Beginning in early summer, they move through the seasons, changing in verse-form and mood, always delighting in the sensuous qualities of language.\u003cbr\u003e\n               J.G. Nicholls's translation makes the richness and subtlety of d'Annunzio's poetry accessible to the English-speaking reader, and his introduction illuminates the complex themes and structure of the work. He provides a full glossary of places and references.","brand":"Carcanet Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56747021500760,"sku":"9781857546934","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781857546934.jpg?v=1771669858","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/halcyon-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
