Pearl


Description

A new version of the Middle English poem Pearl, from the acclaimed poet and translator of Gawain and the Green Knight. Simon Armitage's version of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight garnered front-page reviews across two continents and confirmed his reputation as a leading translator. This new work is an entrancing allegorical tale of grief and lost love, as the narrator is led on a Dantean journey through sorrow to redemption by his vanished beloved, Pearl. Retaining all the alliterative music of the original, a Medieval English poem thought to be by the same anonymous author responsible for Gawain, Pearl is here brought to vivid and intricate life in care of one of the finest poets writing today. Praise for Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: "Takes you back closer to something of the thrill and the wonder the poem would have had in the days when it was composed. It might even be the best translation of any poem I've ever seen . [Armitage] was put on the planet to translate this poem." (Guardian). "[Armitage] captures his dialect and his landscape and takes great pains to render the tale's alliterative texture and drive . He has given us an energetic, free-flowing, high-spirited version." (New Yorker).

More stories of mayhem from the world's favourite dysfunctional family - the Simpsons! In "Journey to the Cellar of the Kwik-E-Mart", it's backwards fun as we discover just how Homer's car went off a cliff...Lisa gets a job as substitute teacher in "The Primt of Miss Lisa Simpson"...Santa's Little Helper takes centre stage for the all-action "Hamburger's Little Helper"...and Bart joins up with Sideshow Bob for "Angels with Yellow Faces"! Plus, "The Rise and Fall of Bartholomew J. Simpson" looks back on Bart's long and remarkable career, and in "Tic Tac D'oh!" Homer enters a seemingly innocent game show...but ends up on a mad dash through the deadly "Castle Burnsimoto"! Most of these strips in this volume have not seen print since originally running in Hearst newspapers over 70 years ago. With a full 104 Sunday pages this time around, this particular book is jam packed with little room for extras, but we did squeeze in a half-dozen or so pages' worth of never-before-seen Herriman memorabilia The Magic Years free pdf (all in color), including a spectacular full-color New Year's card illustration done for a friend.
