Title : The Song of the Sirens - Collectives - book Summary : It is sometimes said that bird sirens became fish by falling into the sea. Hybrid creatures born from the intersection of several legends, they have inspired poets since the dawn of time: Homer, Ovid, Andersen, Wells, and Giraudoux have each responded in their own way to the intoxicating seduction of their song. From the torture of Odysseus to the tragic fate of the Little Mermaid, the narrative and poetic variations of the legend highlight a multitude of incarnations. Nereids with long golden hair entwined with pearls, fearsome mermins, sea nymphs, or capricious undines, the sirens form a chorus of sublime and disparate voices. Here are nine strange and wonderful tales that pay homage to the most mysterious of creatures. EAN : 9782290342664 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : In the Land of the Long White Cloud - Charles Juliet - book Summary : "It was in the 9th century that Maoris, coming from Polynesia, discovered one of the two islands which, nine centuries later, would receive the name of New Zealand. According to legend, when they returned to their place of origin, they spoke of this island by saying: in the land of the long white cloud." Living for five months in Wellington, Charles Juliet kept this Journal assiduously, in order to keep track of what he experienced during this stay. These pages, alternating encounters and impressions on New Zealand with notes of reflection on poetic creation and poems, are of real density and address the favorite themes of this author: quest for self, search for a better understanding of others and the world.
