The Life Of Lord Byron - John Galt - Bog

The Life of Lord Byron is a biography written by John Galt, chronicling the life and times of the famous English poet George Gordon Byron. The book covers Byron's early years, including his tumultuous childhood and education, his travels throughout Europe and the Middle East, and his many romantic liaisons and scandals. Galt also delves into Byron's literary achievements, including his poetry, plays, and prose, and explores the impact that his work had on the literary world of his time. The book provides a comprehensive look at Byron's life, from his birth in 1788 to his death in Greece in 1824, and offers readers a fascinating glimpse into the complex and often controversial personality of one of the most celebrated figures in English literature.The Acheron, which they crossed in this route, is now called the Kalamas, a considerable stream, as large as the Avon at Bath but towards the evening they had some cause to think the Acheron had not lost all its original horror; for a dreadful thunderstorm came on, accompanied with deluges of rain, which more than once nearly carried away their luggage and horses. Byron himself does not notice this incident in Childe Harold, nor even the adventure more terrific which he met with alone in similar circumstances on the night before their arrival at Zitza, when his guides lost their way in the defiles of the mountains--adventures sufficiently disagreeable in the advent, but full of poesy in the remembrance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
