Sinossi
Da oltre due secoli ai vertici della poesia romantica, e non solo inglese, la "Ballata" di Coleridge conserva ancora tutta la forza, l'incanto e la carica eversiva della grande arte. E la storia di una sfida mitica, di una incursione nel profondo e nel mistero dell'animo umano; storia di trasgressione, punizione ed espiazione; di un peccato terribile commesso senza motivo né consapevolezza, e della condanna a raccontarla in eterno a ogni nuovo atterrito, impotente ascoltatore. Ma prima di tutto questo è la storia di un lungo fantastico viaggio per mare, che ci arriva nei ritmi ora dolci e incantatori e ora allucinanti della ballata, nel rumore frusciarne delle onde e nello scricchiolare tormentoso del ghiaccio, in immagini raccapriccianti e improvvise pacificanti distese - del mare, della parola e del senso.

149th book of 2020. Coleridge’s longest poem, comprised of seven parts. The language is lyrical and beautiful and the plot is forlorn and surreal—two of my favourite things. I never like to write the plots of novels in my reviews because they can be found quite simply on Goodreads or the Internet any Leggi tutto
