Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. MASTERLY: NOBLE: DIRECT: FLUID: ACCESSIBLE: MODERN: CLEAR: UNPRETENTIOUS: ENGAGING: ENERGETIC: NEW First Edition hardcover (Orig. 2007) w/ full no. line showing First Printing: NEW handsomely-designed mylar-protected jacket w/ sharp NEW edges & corners, IMMACULA…TE text-block exterior w/ smooth-cut top & bottom edges & cut-page-style "deckle" side-edging, NEW perfect binding w/ tight signatures & red-white-checked cloth bands at spine-caps, PRISTINE interior handsomely-printed w/ SUPERB clarity on EXCVELENT unblemished archival paper * 5.76" x 8.50" x 0.76", 0.42 kg, xiv+242 (256) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: In this highly anticipated new translation of the Theban plays of Sophocles, David R. Slavitt presents a fluid, accessible, & modern version for both longtime admirers of the plays & those encountering them for the first time. Unpretentious and direct, Slavitt's translation preserves the innate verve & energy of the dramas, engaging the reader—or audience member—directly w/ Sophocles' great texts. Slavitt chooses to present the plays not in narrative sequence but in the order in which they were composed—"Antigone", "Oedipus Tyrannos", "Oedipus at Colonus"—thereby underscoring the fact that the story of Oedipus is one to which Sophocles returned over the course of his lifetime. This arrangement also lays bare the record of Sophocles' intellectual & artistic development. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "Clarity, directness, nobility w/o pretension, beauty simply expressed--nearly any line in David R. Slavitt's "Theban Plays of Sophocles" reveals a masterly sense of English syntax & word-music. This is a translation meant to be heard in a theater as well as read on a page." -Michael Dirda, Pulitzer Prize-winning critic & essayist. "This fine translation has flair. I can imagine it being the preferred text for the stage." -David Konstan, Brown University. "Slavitt's lean translations are dramatically effective w/o sacrificing the nuances of the original" . Arguably superior to Fagles, especially as a work to perform on the stage." -Gail Holst-Warhaft, Cornell University * ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR: David R. Slavitt is the distinguished translator of more than eighty works of fiction, poetry, and drama, including most recently William Henry Harrison and Other Poems. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Renowned as a poet & translator, Slavitt has translated Ovid, Virgil, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, Ausonius, Prudentius, Valerius Flaccus, & Bacchylides as well as works in French, Spanish, Portuguese, & Hebrew. In this volume he avoids personal intrusion on the texts & relies upon the theatrical machinery of the plays themselves. The result is a major contribution to the art of translation & a version of the Oedipus plays that will appeal enormously to readers, theater directors, & actors. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & packages this fine book w/ our greatest elegance & care for FREE shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL within the United States & its territories or via USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below cost fee of $16.00 w/ shipping to all international destinations via USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL at our posted rates.

Slavitt's translation of Orlando Furioso ("Mad Orlando"), one of the great literary achievements of the Italian Renaissance, is a publishing event. With this lively new verse translation, Slavitt introduces readers to Ariosto's now neglected masterpiece: a poem whose impact on Western literature can scarcely be exaggerated. It was a major influence on Spenser's "Faerie Queene". William Shakespeare borrowed one of its plots. Voltaire called it the equal of the "Iliad", the "Odyssey", & "Don Quixote" combined. More recently, Italo Calvino drew inspiration from it. Borges was a fan. Now, through translations of generous selections from this longest of all major European poems, Slavitt brings the poem to life in ways previous translators have not. At the heart of Ariosto's romance are Orlando's unrequited love for the pagan princess Angelica & his jealous rage when she elopes. The action takes place against a besieged Paris, as Charlemagne & his Christian paladins defend the city against the Saracen king. The poem, however, obeys no geography or rules but its own, as the story moves by whim from Japan to the Hebrides to the moon; it includes such imaginary creatures as the hippogriff & a sea monster called the orc. Orlando Furioso is Dante's medieval universe turned upside down & made comic. Characterized by satire, parody, & irony, the poem celebrates a new humanistic Renaissance conception of man in an utterly fantastical world. Slavitt's translation captures the energy, comedy, & great fun of Ariosto's Italian. HIGHEST PRAISE: "[Slavitt's] translation is witty, energetic, playful, outrageous, yet serious & sombre too. Crucially, it is effortlessly readable." -Doireann Lalor, TLS -- "In David R. Slavitt's exuberant new version, 'Orlando Furioso' (1532) makes for quite wonderful seasonal entertainment. Slavitt's easygoing, colloquial approach possesses a lightness & brio, a sweet playfulness touched w/ irony that carries the reader effortlessly, happily along . . . Ariosto's irresistible masterpiece effortlessly blends chivalry, love & magic. Think of it as a knightly soap opera, complete w/ cliff-hangers, erotic intrigue & one melodramatic improbability after another . . . The whole book is clever & fun." -Michael Dirda, The Washington Post * ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR: DAVID R. SLAVITT is a poet & the translator of more than ninety works of fiction, poetry, & drama. CHARLES S. ROSS is Professor of English & Chair of the Comparative Literature Program at Purdue University * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for A below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations at our posted rates.
