Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a translation of the famous German ballad Lenore by Gottfried August Burger. It tells the story of Lenore, a young woman whose lover William has gone off to fight in the war and has not been heard from in a long time. Lenore is distraught with worry and grief, and she begins to fear that William is dead. One night, Lenore is visited by a mysterious rider who claims to be William. He tells her that he has come to take her away to their wedding. Lenore is overjoyed, and she gets on the horse behind him. They ride for hours through the night, and Lenore begins to feel uneasy. The rider's behavior is strange, and she realizes that he is not William at all, but a ghost. The rider takes Lenore to a graveyard, where he reveals his true identity. He is the ghost of William, and he has come to claim Lenore's soul. Lenore is terrified, but she cannot escape. The ghost drags her down into the grave with him, and she is never seen again.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a treatise on aesthetics, approaches its subject through the perspective of German philosophy. The author posits that an object's beauty can be defined as the harmonious interplay of our cognitive faculties, namely understanding and imagination. By examining the relationship between concept and intuition, the author presents aesthetics as a discipline distinct from epistemology and metaphysics while acknowledging its connection to both. The author argues that true beauty transcends mere subjective opinion by conforming to universal principles. This does not, however, translate to a rigid set of rules; rather, geniusâ"in the sense of innate talentâ"is held to be the guiding force in artistic creation. The author endeavors to elucidate the nature of genius and how its unique interplay of imagination and sensibility gives rise to new and original works of art. Ultimately, the author's insights into the nature of beauty and genius offer a profound understanding of the human capacity for artistic expression. This book is a valuable contribution to the field of aesthetics and will be of particular interest to students of philosophy, art history, and literature.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book of insightful poetry explores the myriad joys found in the shared experience of love. The author navigates everything from the earliest beginnings of romantic infatuation to the shared contentment of a long-term, trusting partnership. As a collection, these works provide a beautiful and nuanced tribute to love in all its forms, subtly woven into a variety of settings from the lighthearted to the deeply reflective. Traditionally, love has been a common theme in poetry, but what sets these poems apart is their clear-eyed examination of every dimension of love. The author presents a complete panorama of human emotion as seen through the lens of love. Each poem expertly fuses powerful emotional resonance with a thought-provoking examination of the topic at hand. Among the many subjects explored, the author discusses societal beauty standards, the power of physical attraction, and the importance of finding someone who complements you as a person; a true intellectual and spiritual equal. The author also examines the ways in which love can change people, both for better and worse, and the effect that it can have on your sense of personal identity and self-perception. Ultimately, it is the universal power of love that is the central focus of this collection. Love, the author argues, is not merely a feeling or an emotion, but rather a choice that is made every day. It is an investment that requires time, effort, and open-mindedness on behalf of each individual involved. It is also the source of resilience and hope, the foundation for a meaningful and contented life. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
