«La ballata del vecchio marinaio» is the narrative poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, published by La Spiga-Meravigli in paperback (96 pages, in Italian).
A sailor stops a guest on his way to a wedding and tells him of his long journey home; at sea he shot an albatross and, since then, the ship lies still, without wind, while the crew experiences something between the real and the supernatural.
The original poem, «The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere», was published in 1798 in «Lyrical Ballads»; this Italian edition belongs to the collection «Libri di una sera».
Suitable for literature students and readers of classical poetry interested in English Romanticism.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet, literary critic, philosopher, and theologian who was a founder of the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets with his friend William Wordsworth. He also shared volumes and collaborated with Charles Lamb, Robert Southey, and Charles Lloyd.
