{"product_id":"sappho-a-new-translation","title":"Sappho: A New Translation","description":"The hundred poems and fragments here translated into modern English constitute virtually all of Sappho that survives, and effectively bring to life the woman whom the Greeks consider to be their greatest lyric poet. Sappho gives us flashes of vivid comment and description – forthright attacks on her enemies, dialogues with her friends, and exasperated exchanges with Aphrodite, the goddess who was both enemy and ally. The poems are highly personal and emotional portrayals of the world she lived in twenty-five hundred years ago. Mary Barnard's translations are lean, incisive, direct. As a result, she has rendered the beloved poet's verse, long the bane of translators, more authentically than anyone else in English.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0520011171\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0520011171.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sappho|Mary Barnard (Translator)|Dudley Fitts\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
