El amor a traves de los ojos de los poetas. Puesto que el amor es uno de los motores que mueve a la humanidad, no es de sorprender que los grandes poetas hayan dedicado una parte importante de sus creaciones a expresar esos sentimientos, desde el amor inocente hasta el erotico, pasando por todos los matices de la pasion y del canto a la persona amada.

Nell’anno della celebrazione del 150° anniversario dell’unità d’Italia il CD contiene una scelta di testi significativi che intendono ricordare che la poesia, nel corso dei secoli, ha cantato l’identità italiana e l’appartenenza alla patria. Il senso dell’Italia, presente molto prima della sua unità politica, attraversa i secoli e giunge fino ad oggi: la voce dei poeti, come documento e come testimonianza, costituisce un filo rosso dal mondo romano fino al Novecento.

El gaucho es el alma de la Pampa Argentina. Noble y valiente sin comparación, el gaucho merodea por la pampa, esclavo de nadie más que su deseo por explorar y vivir plenamente en el campo argentino. Martín Fierro era un gaucho así, pero que sería pronto puesto a prueba por las vueltas de la vida. Fue forzado a luchar por la milicia argentina contra los nativos de las tierras, aguantando malos tratos, hambre y negación a su sueldo y ahora se ve desilusionado por un gobierno que no lo quiere.

Born out of the political turmoil of the English Civil War, Leviathan stands out as one of the most in influential political and philosophical texts of the 17th century. It argues for the restoration of the monarchy in light of the republic and calls for a commonwealth ruled by an authoritative, autocratic figure with absolute sovereignty. This would put an end to all controversy, war, and fear and establish peace via social contract.

T.S. Elliot was likely the best read of any of his contemporaries. In his poetry, we often find an allusion to the works of other great writers. In "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" he makes reference to Dante Shakespeare and "To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvel. Prufrock, as the name implies, is an indecisive wimp, whereas Marvel in his seduction poem, has his eye on the prize, and makes no bones about it.

Among the finest poets of ancient Greece was Hesiod, a contemporary of Homer, who lived in the eighth century B.C. It is still a matter of dispute whether Homer or Hesiod was the earlier poet, and sometimes whether they were one and the same person! At any rate, Hesiod's incredible poetry serves as a major source for our understanding of Greek mythology, farming practices, time keeping and astronomy. In and of itself, the "Works and Days" is unparalleled in its richness and beauty, easily rivaling Homer.
