About This Item
IDB Productions, 2017-01-01. MP3 CD. New. The Giaour became widely known with many editions released in the first year. By 1815, 14 editions had been released when it was comprised in his first compiled edition. His fame made him release three more "Turkish tales" in the following years: "The Bride of Abydos" in 1813, "The Corsair" in 1814 and "Lara". All of these poems were best known, with "The Corsair" marketing 10,000 copies in its first day of release.</br></br>George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, FRS, simply called as Lord Byron, was an English poet, peer, statesman, and a key personage in the Romantic movement. Some of his most popular writings are the long narrative poems, Don Juan and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and the brief harmonious poem, She Walks in Beauty.</br></br>Lord Byron is indeed among the best English poets and continues to be largely read and inspirational. He journeyed far around Europe, particularly in Italy, where he resided for seven years with the striving poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. In the last years of his short lived life, he participated in the Greek War of Independence battling the Ottoman Empire, for which Greeks respect him as a national hero. </br></br>He died when he was just 36 years old due to a fever gotten while in Missolonghi. Frequently depicted as the greatly extravagant and disreputable of the major Romantics, he was both praised and chastised in life for his highborn extravagances, such as big loans, several romantic relationships with men and women, also gossips of an immoral affair with his half-sister, and his banishment in his own free will.</br></br>He also begot Ada, Countess of Lovelace, whose story on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine is regarded as a starting record in the subject of computer science, and Allegra Byron, who died when she was young and perhaps, Elizabeth Medora Leigh, an illegitimate child.
