{"product_id":"9781857546934","title":"Halcyon","description":"\u003cp\u003eGabriele d'Annunzio (1863-1938), the most influential and controversial Italian poet of the 20th century, published his masterpiece \"Halcyon\" in 1903. It is a carefully organized sequence of 88 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. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FYFIELD BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52017481089298,"sku":"9781857546934","price":26.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781857546934.jpg?v=1774734202","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781857546934","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
