The Seasons (Lithuanian: Metai) is the first Lithuanian poem written by Kristijonas Donelaitis around 1765-1775. It is in quantitative dactylic hexameters as often used for Latin and Ancient Greek poetry. It was published in 1818 by Ludwig Rhesa, who also named the poem and selected the arrangement of the parts. The German translation was included in the first edition of the poem. The book was dedicated to Wilhelm von Humboldt.[1] The poem is considered a masterpiece of early Lithuanian literature. This is the first English Translation and includes an article on the poem by Kostas Korsakas. Illustrated with beautiful woodcuts by Vytautas K. Jonynas. Book and dustcover very good. No annotations, binding strong, just very slight wear. Desirable copy of quite a rare and interesting volume.
