In 1924, Paris is a bastion of sexual freedom, even for shell-shocked Leon Laflamme, the most dramatic blond this side of the Seine. After years of loneliness and secrecy, he's married the clever and sumptuous burlesque dancer Claire. However, Leon truly finds liberation when he meets the stoic, intriguing, and silver-haired Count Matthias, who offers true freedom in his dark gift: immortality.

Paradiso is the third and final part of The Divine Comedy, Dante's epic poem describing man's progress from hell to salvation. In it, the author progresses through nine concentric spheres of heaven. Corresponding with medieval astronomy, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn deal with the four cardinal virtues Prudence, Fortitude, Justice, and Temperance. The remaining two spheres are the fixed stars and the Primum Mobile, containing the purely virtuous and the angels, followed by the Empyrean, or God itself.

Michael Brown. Supernatural Agent. Mayhem juggler. I’ve claimed the Bastion as my own. The surviving Knights Paladin have either renounced their vows or pledged allegiance to me. And the angelic beings among them? They answer to me now, too. But my job is never done. Bull wants me and my girls to go after a mysterious group that’s recruiting SIA and OGI agents. If I know my job, and the supernatural world, then nothing will be as it seems.

I didn't think retiring to Mexico with my Russian girlfriend would last—turns out I was right. What we didn't expect was that we'd be embroiled in a secret war between Heaven and Hell. Yeah, demons and angels exist, and they're about as powerful and deadly as we've been led to believe. To even the odds a little, the agency has decked me out with an arsenal that takes the best from above and the best from below. And humanity aren't exactly slouches, either. We have occultists–humans capable of bending supernatural creatures to their will.

Among the monuments of world literature, few works have been as influential as the Divine Comedy. Dante's compendious allegory of a journey through the world of the afterlife is significant on many levels. It established Italian as a literary language, and consolidated the position of Florentine Italian as the lingua franca of the Italian peninsula. As an engaging portrait of the social and intellectual life in medieval Florence it is unrivalled

More shifters. More beastmages. More power. After taking down Dr. Ahriman the chimera shifter, I now have a handful of talismans. Except I don’t know how to use them. Thankfully, I’ve got a lead, because powering up the Talismans might be the only way my clan gets an edge on the Atlanteans.

Hay obras maestras, como el Quijote, que los autores empiezan sin plan preciso ni determinado: van haciendo de la necesidad virtud, rizando el rizo de la invención. Pero la Comedia pertenece a otra categoría: es el resultado de la deliberación y la perseverancia de Dante. Exiliado de Florencia y condenado a la hoguera, fue incluso contumaz, pues insistió en el imperdonable "error" de crear algo profundamente nuevo y personal.

The Vita nuova is elaborately and symbolically patterned, consisting of a selection of Dante's early poems interspersed with his own prose commentary. The poems themselves tell the story of his love for Beatrice, from their first meeting at a May Day party in her father's house, through Dante's sufferings and his attempts to conceal the true object of his devotion by the use of "screen-loves", to his overwhelming grief at her death, ending with the transformative vision of her in heaven.

In an ideal world, no one would do anything that didn’t fill their heart with love as their work. Everyone would be able to do what they loved. Everyone would have enough. If our resources were more well managed, we could have renewable and even free energy, and the natural abundance of the earth would be distributed in such a way that all beings could thrive. Many suppose that this is fantasy, yet in Channeling Your Innate Value, the Pieiadian Council share that this ideal world is not just a possibility, but it is something on its way as our planet ascends into higher dimensions. ...

Escrito en 1967, este manual indispensable contiene una sentencia reveladora: ¿este audiolibro no sirve para nada? Para nada que tenga que ver con aprender a jugar, dirigir o describir el fútbol de forma definitiva. El desconocimiento del legado del genial periodista argentino Dante Panzeri es tan grande como la cantidad de veces en que jóvenes y veteranos cronistas recurren a la “dinámica de lo impensado” para explicar el talento de jugadores como Messi, ciertos resultados asombrosos, o aquellos partidos que escapan a nuestra comprensión.

Debut author Dante Medema explores the emotional fallout after a teenage girl discovers she is the product of an affair. Told through a series of poems, text messages, and emails, this contemporary YA is perfect for fans of Ellen Hopkins and Gaby Dunn and Allison Raskin. Seventeen-year-old Cordelia Koenig intended to breeze through her senior project. While her peers stressed, Cordelia planned to use the same trace-your-roots genealogy idea her older sister used years prior. And getting partnered with her longtime crush, Kodiak Jones, is icing on the cake.

Now that Vance has become the God of Death, he has a long list of goals. Number one is getting his lordship back. On the way, he'll get to know his beautiful party members, and raise every dead enemy to form an undead army. A whole lot more violence. A bunch more spice. Oodles of necromancy. Countless crazy antics. If you liked book one, you’re going to love book two.

"Abandon all hope you who enter here." Dante's Hell is one of the most remarkable visions in Western literature. An allegory for his and future ages, it is, at the same time, an account of terrifying realism.

Bailey and Vanessa shared everything: laughter, secrets, and packets of Pop Rocks to ward off bad days. But that all changed the night Vanessa left Bailey’s, headed for home, and ended up swerving off a cliff nowhere near her house. Now Bailey, who thought she knew Vanessa better than anyone in the world, is left with a million unanswered questions, and the only person with answers is gone.

Bitter Lips, Sweet Heart is a unique collection of romantic poetry first assembled by a group of young male college students who got together to read poetry and drink tea every week, thinking themselves spurned romantics and talented poets. Most of the original selections have been forgotten, and the collection has been updated for this simple release with a sense of irony and sheepishness in mature adulthood. May its angst, irony, lust, and innocent affection amuse and entertain you today, just as it did the four nerdy boys who assembled it to communicate.

La realizzazione dell’interpretazione dei versi dell’Inferno di Dante Alighieri è nata grazie alla passione per la Letteratura Italiana da parte di vari attori che hanno fatto da corollario, facendosi corpo, voce, riso, pianto e preghiera di tutti i personaggi della Divina Commedia.

Nell’anno della celebrazione del 150° anniversario dell’unità d’Italia il CD contiene una scelta di testi significativi che intendono ricordare che la poesia, nel corso dei secoli, ha cantato l’identità italiana e l’appartenenza alla patria. Il senso dell’Italia, presente molto prima della sua unità politica, attraversa i secoli e giunge fino ad oggi: la voce dei poeti, come documento e come testimonianza, costituisce un filo rosso dal mondo romano fino al Novecento.

Dante writes raw and personal stories about real people, husband and wife sharing, wife watching, BDSM, cuckold, swinger and fetish clubs, dogging, Asian wives, ladyboys, and many other fetishes....

But Vince’s ambitions won’t stop there. His thirst for power is much like his thirst for blood: insatiable. With this insatiable drive, it won’t be long before Vincent Pike’s quest for domination turns international.

The spectrum of all of human life, as portrayed in the poem, will unfold with breathtaking variety, drama, thought, and beauty: In the middle of the journey of our life / I found myself in a dark wood, where the straight path was lost. The process of listening to Dante’s Comedy is a journey into not just literature but into the mysteries of human nature and its capacity for unhappiness and happiness, folly and wisdom, rejection and wonder over the miracles of creation and existence.
