di Robert Louis Stevenson (Autore)

The Copyright Group, 2023

In the Victorian age that great adventurer Phileas Fogg attempted to traverse the globe in a mere 80 days using only the existing transport infrastructure and his own nous. Today the globe can be spanned much quicker and in more comfortable fashion but alas without much of the intrigues, stories and landscape that accompanied Mr Fogg and made the trip so exciting. In this volume we have an answer: Let’s travel the globe with the words and verse of 80 esteemed and voluble poets. Let’s explore places, peoples, philosophical musings on our world and all manner of things that Mr Fogg had no access to. With the words of classic poets such as John Keats, Rabindranath Tagore, Du Fu and Edna St Vincent Millay as your companions it’s one heck of a journey. 1 - Around the World in 80 Poems - An Introduction 2 - Travel by Edna St Vincent Millay 3 - Travel by Robert Louis Stevenson 4 - A Ballad of London by Richard Le Gallienne 5 - The World State by G K Chesterton 6 - The Drunken Boat by Arthur Rimbaud 7 - In the Train and at Versailles by Dante Gabriel Rossetti 8 - Train Ride by Federico Garcia Lorca 9 - I Go on Dreaming of Paths by Antonio Machado 10 - Sonnet I by Fernando Pessoa 11 - Sonnet on Approaching Italy by Oscar Wilde 12 - To Italy by Radclyffe Hall 13 - Sicily December 1908 by Henry Van Dyke 14 - Sonnet to Lake Leman by Lord Byron 15 - Pathways by Rainer Maria Rilke 16 - In the Black Forest by Amy Levy 17 - Calm at Sea by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 18 - Sonnet to Ocean by Thomas Hood 19 - In Amsterdam by Eugene Field 20 - Sonnet at Ostend July 22nd 1787 by William Lisle Bowles 21 - Belgium by Edith Wharton 22 - Forced March by Miklos Radnoti 23 - Autumn Evening in Serbia by Francis Ledwidge 24 - The Cretan Dance by Sappho 25 - The Isles of Greece by Byron 26 - Sailing to Byzantium by W B Yeats 27 - Constantinople by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu 28 - Beirut Wedding Poem by Tim Graham 29 - The Life of Love - Spring by Khalil Gibran 30 - Gates of Damascus by James Elroy Flecker 31 - Walk to Caesarea by Hannah Senesh 32 - The City of Baghdad by Sultan Bahu 33 - Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley 34 - To the Nile by Keats 35 - Ode to Ethiopia by Paul Laurence Dunbar 36 - My Africa by Gladys May Casely Hayford 37 - Africa by Lewis Alexander 38 - Poem by Sarah of Yemen 39 - Sleepless I Kept the Night Vigil by Khansa 40 - The Golden Journey to Samarkand by James Elroy Flecker 41 - A World with No Boundaries by Jalaluddin Rumi 42 - All Pervading Consciousness by Farid ud-Din Attar 43 - The Cloud on the Mountain by Alama Iqbal 44 - In the Bazaars of Hyderabad by Sarojini Naidu 45 - To the City of Bombay by Rudyard Kipling 46 - An Old Tibetan Rug by Else Lasker Schuler 47 - Dawn by Du Fu 48 - Chiang Chin Chiu by Li Po 49
