Advance praise for Acts of Love "Thanks to George Economou's fearless acts of translation, the veils of euphemism and politeness have been lifted from the erotic and amatory poems of ancient Greece, and we can now behold their unabashed original faces. It is thrilling to see poems over two thousand years old come alive again in the stark idioms of contemporary America." Billy Collins "A memorable and unfalteringly modern rendition of ancient Greek lyrics. These poems, treasures in their original language, achieve new vitality in Economou's beautifully attuned English. In sum, this is a wonderful volume."

Synopsis
Selected and translated by George Economou, this sexy, modern collection of ancient Greek love poetry is ideal for readers of Pinsky and "Playboy" alike. In a collection of fresh, accessible translations, Hellenistic master poets and two dozen other writers explore the power of Eros., Everything the flower-loving bee you're named for does, you do, my Melissa, and I take it to heart. You drop honey from your lips when you sweetly kiss, and when you want money, can give a mean sting. The ancient poetry gathered in Acts of Love pays tart and tender tribute to passion, and to the power that Aphrodite and her son, Eros, hold over mortals-male and female, young and old. With vivid and surprisingly modern language, these poems and epigrams remind us how little, in ways of the heart, the human condition changes over time. Ardent, ecstatic, ironic, despairing, and brilliantly witty, these marvelous verses celebrate every aspect of love. Some are lyrical ("O feet, shins, thighs that just destroy me . . . O little cries that stir me!")" some are flippant ("You with the roses, you're pretty rosy yourself. / So what's for sale? You? The roses? Or both?"). Others display come-ons ("Since you're so open to strangers, / how about a little drink for me")" and put-downs ("As for / Neoboule, some other guy can have her. / Hey, she's overripe and twice your age")." Eminent poet and scholar George Economou has translated this fresh bouquet of love poems primarily from sources stretching back to the originals by way of the classic compilation The Greek Anthology. The poems span many centuries, focusing on the Greek writers' rich and varied expressions of physical passion. Such is the quality of Economou's direct and idiomatic translations that the poems manage to embrace their ancient origins and the moods of today's erotic encounters., A collection of ancient Greek love poetry celebrates the themes of lust, longing, erotic love, and heartache in works, all newly translated, by Anakreon, Sappho, Archilochos, Kallimachos, Philodemos, Meleagros, and other master poets of the ancient world.

- 2***0 (129)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufShipping was quick, packaging was excellent, condition was acceptable as described -- binding loose but pages intact. I did message buyer asking about mold and didn't receive a reply -- luckily, there appears to be no mold. Great value for a 100+ yr old book!Mistress of Shenstone by Florence L. Barclay HC 1910 (Nr. 335940140985)
- a***p (8)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI received my book in absolutely pristine condition, better than described! Which is impressive because the copy is from 1930 and it looks like it has never been handled. It shipped very quickly, even faster than the estimated time given by a week. It was packaged very carefully. The book and shipping price was also very fair considering the age and condition of the book and the shipping speed. I am very pleased with this seller and will be ordering from them again in the future.All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque HC 1930 (Nr. 396258036329)

The Shipping was timely and the item actually arrived quicker than expected. The item EXCEEDED the description. It is stunning. I have dropped it off at my antiquarian for authors signature verification but the value is high.What Negro Wants by Rayford W Logan 1944 (HC/DJ) (Nr. 335500668720)
