Often compared to Byron, Keats, Shelley, and Poe, Macha was the greatest Czech Romantic poet, and the most influential. May, his epic masterpiece, was published in April 1836, just seven months before his death. Considered the pearl of Czech poetry, it is a tale of seduction, revenge, and patricide. Czechs can recite the first stanzas of the poem from memory, and new editions regularly appear in Czech bookstores. This volume, the sole to exist in English, provides the original Czech text in parallel an introduction by Craig Cravens, Chair of Czech Studies at the University of Texas. | May by Karel Hynek Macha, Paper over Board | Indigo Chapters
