I 1755 spredte den engelske regering den franske befolkning i Acadien, en del af de tidligere franske besiddelser i Canada, af skræk for oprør mod kolonimagten. Dagen før de engelske troppers ankomst indgår Evangelina Bellefontaine og Gabriel Lajeunesse, som Evangelina har elsket siden barndommen, ægteskab, men da befolkningen i byen Grand Pré i dagene efter deporteres uden hensyn til familieforhold og byen afbrændes, bliver Evangelina og Gabriel skilt.Longfellows lille roman - skrevet som et episk digt på urimede homeriske versefødder - beskriver deportationen og Evangelinas livslange søgen efter sin Gabriel.Den foreliggende oversættelse - den eneste eksisterende på dansk - fra 1853, søger at genskabe Longfellows rytme. Nærværende udgave moderniserer retskrivningen i digtet, men for at bevare rytmen har det været nødvendigt at bibeholde enkelte antikverede bøjningsformer.

Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie (1847) is an epic poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. A master of poetic tradition and form, Longfellow wrote Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie in dactylic hexameter, the meter of such classical epics as Homer¿s Iliad and Odyssey as well as Virgil¿s Aeneid. Inspired by the experience of the Acadians, a Francophone people living in northern Maine and the Canadian Maritime provinces who were forcefully expelled by British forces during the French and Indian War, Longfellow composed his American epic, a story of faith, romance, and perseverance steeped in tradition and beloved by generations to come.In the French colony of Acadie, a young woman named Evangeline Bellefontaine marries Gabriel Lajeunesse. They begin their lives together in happiness, surrounded by the beauty of the forests and waters of the Maritimes. When war breaks out between the French and the British, the Acadians are forced out of their homes by the advancing British. Separated from Gabriel, Evangeline makes her way across America in search of safety and her missing husband. After several near misses and years of living on the road, Evangeline settles in Philadelphia, where she joins a convent and cares for the sick as a deadly epidemic sweeps across the land. Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie is an epic of a forgotten history, a tale of hardship and the love that would overcome it.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow¿s Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

The Song of Hiawatha (1855) is an epic poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. A master of poetic tradition and form, Longfellow wrote The Song of Hiawatha in trochaic tetrameter, the meter of such classical epics as the Finnish Kalevala. Inspired by stories from Ojibwe oral tradition, for which he consulted Ojibwe chief Kahge-ga-gah-bowh and other indigenous sources, Longfellow composed his American epic, a story of romance and perseverance steeped in legend and beloved by generations to come.Along the shores of Lake Superior, an Ojibwe leader prophesies the arrival of Hiawatha, a great and noble hero. Before he can be born, however, Mudjekeewis must father the Four Winds by killing the Great Bear. His sons grow to be wild, fearless warriors, defending their land and feuding endlessly with one another. Although Nokomis, a woman who fell from the moon, warns her daughter not to fall for the West Wind, Wenonah is seduced by him, bringing about the birth of Hiawatha. Powerful and adventurous from a young age, Hiawatha grows into a legendary figure responsible for the discovery of corn and the invention of a written language for his people. When he meets the beautiful Minnehaha, a young Dakota woman, he struggles to balance his responsibilities as a leader and protector with a love that overwhelms him. The Song of Hiawatha is a romance of epic proportions that pays tribute to the stories of America's first peoples.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's The Song of Hiawatha is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.
