«La ballata del vecchio marinaio» is the Romantic poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, published by Demetra in paperback (80 pages, in Italian).
The poem recounts how a sailor, after killing an albatross, becomes trapped in a supernatural voyage marked by guilt, unsettling visions and a longing for atonement. The subtitle of this edition, «Colpa ed espiazione: il mare dell’anima», condenses the protagonist's inner journey and the sea as a mirror of the soul.
It belongs to the Acquarelli Poesia collection. Italian translation by Alessandro Quattrone; the original poem, «The Rime of the Ancient Mariner», was published in 1798.
For readers of classical poetry and English Romanticism, as well as for literature students working with Italian editions of this classic.
