Originally published in 1942, this book contains the French text of Jose-Maria de Heredia's 1893 collection of poems 'Les Trophees'. Heredia was part of the Parnasse movement, for whom art needed to serve no function apart from beauty, and his poems range across Western European history, from Greek myth to the conquest of Spain, as well as a few meditations on the Far East and the tropics. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in French poetry.
