Robert W. Service

Résumé du livre

"This anthology proposes a varied selection of some 260 extracts of Robert William Service (1874-1954) best poems and quotes collected by thematics -- freedom, love, work, success, nature, happiness - everyday concerns as well as philosophical quests arising in our life; a timeless source of inspiration and wisdom which are still moving people everyday as explained touchingly by some of his admirers. Including a brief biography, the vigorous, colourful, humorous and sensitive ballads of the most widely read poet of his time are innovatively revived now, thanks to the selection and the illustrations of his great-granddaughter Charlotte Service-Longépé, author regarded as the greatest authority on the life and works of Robert W. Service."--Page 4 of cover.
