Walt Whitman's verse gave the poetry of America a distinctive national voice. It reflects the unique vitality of the new nation, the vastness of the land and the emergence of a sometimes troubled consciousness, communicated in language and idiom regarded by many at the time as shocking.
Whitman's poems are organic and free flowing, fit into no previously defined genre and skilfully combine autobiographical, sociological and religious themes with lyrical sensuality. His verse is a fitting celebration of a new breed of American and includes "Song of Myself", "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry", the ... |

Адаптирани разкази на френски език. ... "Поредицата "Contes adaptés" на издателство Веси" е предназначена за читатели, които са средно напреднали или напреднали (III - VI ниво) в обучението си по френски езиик.
Тук оригиналният текст не е адаптиран в общия смисъл на понятието. Вместо да бъдат извадени (както е при обикновената адаптация) относително сложните думи и изрази - което, според нас, до голяма степен осакатява текста, - те са допълнително обяснени. Идиоматичните, фразеологичните и по-особените лексикални форми са преведени под черта. За историческите, географските и др. понятия са ... |
