How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About Bhagavadgita by Sir Edwin Arnold The Bhagavadgita is part of the great Indian epic the Mahabharata, and it is one of the major religious documents of the world, occupying in Hinduism a position not unlike the Sermon on the Mount in Christianity. One of the most celebrated treasures of world literature as well, it is in the form of a poetic dialogue between the epic's hero, Arjuna, and his friend Krishna, believed to be an incarnation of God. The dialogue, which takes place on the eve of an historic battle, probes the nature of God and what man should do to reach him. As the Bhagavadgita unfolds, this majestic poem provides a fascinating synopsis of the religious thought and experience of India through the ages. This edition offers the classic English verse translation by Sir Edwin Arnold (1832-1904), long admired for its evocation of the true feeling of the original poetry.

Wordsworth & Coleridge: Lyrical Ballads and Other Poems represents a seminal watershed in English literature, marking the dawn of Romanticism with its fervent embrace of nature, emotion, and the individual's interior world. This collection masterfully demonstrates a wide array of literary styles, from the simplicity and directness of the rural ballad to complex meditations on human and natural worlds. It pulses with the radical energy of its time, challenging Enlightenment rationalism and foreshadowing a century deeply concerned with personal and social liberation. The standout pieces defy traditional poetic norms of the era, making the anthology a historic pivot towards modern poetic sensibility. The diverse backgrounds of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, though both pivotal figures of the Romantic movement, bring a rich interplay of themes and stylistic approaches to the anthology. Their joint effort not only signifies a close intellectual and artistic collaboration but also reflects the broader historical, cultural, and literary currents of late 18th and early 19th centuries. The melding of Wordsworth's profound connection with nature and Coleridge's innovative symbolic imagination creates a multidimensional exploration of the human condition and our relationship with the natural world. This anthology is an indispensable treasure for readers seeking to immerse themselves in the genesis of Romanticism. It offers a unique lens through which to explore pivotal literary innovations and themes of the era. As such, it beckons not only students and scholars of English literature but anyone intrigued by the transformative power of poetry and its ability to wrestle with timeless questions through the beauty of language. The collection stands as a testament to the enduring relevance and dynamism of Wordsworth and Coleridge's visionary work.
