About the author
Lord Byron
4,389 books2,096 followersGeorge Gordon Byron (invariably known as Lord Byron), later Noel, 6th Baron Byron of Rochdale FRS was a British poet and a leading figure in Romanticism. Amongst Byron's best-known works are the brief poems She Walks in Beauty, When We Two Parted, and So, we'll go no more a roving, in addition to the narrative poems Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and Don Juan. He is regarded as one of the greatest British poets and remains widely read and influential, both in the English-speaking world and beyond.
Byron's notabilty rests not only on his writings but also on his life, which featured upper-class living, numerous love affairs, debts, and separation. He was notably described by Lady Caroline Lamb as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know". Byron served as a regional leader of Italy's revolutionary organization, the Carbonari, in its struggle against Austria. He later travelled to fight against the Ottoman Empire in the Greek War of Independence, for which Greeks revere him as a national hero. He died from a fever contracted while in Messolonghi in Greece.

«Sin consagrarme un triste pensamiento no pases por delante de mi tumba:
lo que en mi amarga soledad más siento es que me olvidarás cuando sucumba»
Nunca había leído nada de Lord Byron, aunque siempre quise, pero estudiando el romanticismo me vi obligada a leer "El corsario" y la verdad es que es precioso.

Cerrar este libro es como cerrar un cofre tempestuoso: dentro aún resuena el mar, el galope y la sombra de héroes imposibles. Byron me ha dejado sobrecogido, porque en Lara, Mazeppa y el Corsario no sólo descubrí personajes, sino reflejos de mi propio espíritu errante.
El Corsario y Lara quizás describan situaciones similares frente a un enigmático personaje de soledad oscura, imposibilidad para conectar y entenderse entre el género humano; en Mazeppa podemos encontrar un gran poema heroico sobre este personaje histórico. Byron lo consigue de nuevo: imágenes poderosas, exceso romántico, heroísmo contradictorio. Sencillamente, ¡5 estrellas de 5 para estos poemas! En su genio romántico veo un espejo de mi propia alma, cada verso hace eco en mí de una forma que solo Byron podría vocalizar.

El Corsario - The corsair (1814)
Lara - A poem by Lord Byron, published 1814.
El sitio de Corinto - The Siege of Corinth (Está un poco mal traducido en español, debería llamarse asedio, no sitio). Published in 1816 by John Murray in London with the poem Parisina
Mazeppa - El que más me ha gustado. - narrative poem written by the English Romantic poet Lord Byron in 1819
Maybe I am gonna need to read it again cause there were some part of the book I did not understand very well. Nevertheless, the way it's written is really good.
