Omschrijving

The Wreck of the Hesperus is a narrative poem written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1886. The poem tells the story of a ship called the Hesperus that sets sail from the coast of Maine with a captain and his daughter on board. Despite warnings of an impending storm, the captain is determined to reach his destination and ignores the advice of an old sailor who warns him of the dangers ahead.As the storm intensifies, the ship is battered by huge waves and the captain's daughter is lashed to the mast to keep her from being washed overboard. However, the ship ultimately sinks and the captain and his daughter are lost at sea.The poem is known for its vivid imagery and powerful use of language to convey the terror and tragedy of the shipwreck. It explores themes of hubris, pride, and the dangers of ignoring warnings and advice. The Wreck of the Hesperus is considered one of Longfellow's most famous and enduring works, and has been adapted into numerous songs, films, and other artistic works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
