Le "Recueil de chansons populaires grecques" aujourd' hui epuise et insuffisamment connu; et ce qui en fait le prix c' est moins encore la partie grecque deja tres interessante en elle-meme puisqu' elle est principalement composee de textes inedits rapportes d' Orient au XVIe siecle par Augier Busbeeq que la traduction francaise mise par Legrand en tete de ces chansons. Ceux-la seuls qui s'y sont essayes peuvent se rendre compte des multiples difficultes d'une pareille entreprise. Les idees que les Grecs aiment a mouler dans leur vers de quinze syllabes ne sont pas toujours poetiques; I' evenement le plus futile de la vie journaliere est souvent pour eux matiere a versification; c'est le rhythme et l'heureux choix de quelques mots composes qui font alors le charme de ces sortes de productions.". ================================================================== IMPORTANT: The shipping cost is an important parameter of this order; it is in NOT included in the price and depends on the actual weight and destination; you will have to approve it after the confirmation of the order.
