The narrative poem about Hiawatha, "he who makes rivers," in which he is challenged by the powers of nature that continually war against man.

recenzis The Hiawatha reader, being Longfellow's "The song of Hiawatha," de Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

A beautiful but flawed poem.

4 steloj

There is no getting around Longfellow's bias, but the beauty of his poetry and the sympathy of his heart makes this worth reading. It is a lovely retelling of several Native myths, and I look forward to exploring the real thing.

"For those who believe every human heart is human."
