Ozymandias

Book • 2015
Published in 1818, 'Ozymandias' is one of Shelley's most famous short works.

The poem describes a ruined statue of Ozymandias (Ramses II of Egypt) with the inscription 'Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

' and contrasts the grandeur of the past with the desolation of the present.

The illustrated version by John Ott Jr. includes unique illustrations that breathe new life into the poem.
