Download or read book Dante written by Barbara Reynolds and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2007-08-28 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dante is one of the towering figures of European literature, yet there remain a surprising number of questions about his life and works; Who was the leader that would bring peace to the world, as Virgil and Beatrice prophesied in the Commedia? Who was Beatrice, really? Was De Vulgari Eloquentia truly a treatise on the art of writing? Did he need a medicinal muse? Dante scholar and translator Barbara Reynolds contends the master used cannabis to soar to greater creative heights. Besides proposing a solution to the famous prophecies, this lively, engaging, and elegantly written biography contains a provocative new idea in virtually every chapter, offering alternative interpretations of his work. Drawing from an impressive array of sources, Reynolds provides a comprehensive analysis of the poet, placing him within the context of his culture and society to deepen our understanding of a complicated man who was irritable, opinionated, and vengeful—and an extraordinary genius.

Download or read book Love Master written by Linda Grace Byers and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the past year, I set the lofty goal of mastering the art of love. According to Malcolm Gladwell, skill mastery requires ten thousand hours of practice. I pulled out my calculator and punched in some numbers. At eight hours a day, seven days a week, I could be a love master in approximately 3.434 years! All I have to do to accomplish this ambitious feat is to love and to love some more, even when I would rather not! If this sounds overly simplified, you caught me...read the book and see how I am doing dear reader. Come along with me as I work my way toward God and the way he wants us all to live and love. The collection of written pieces (originally published as blogs) within this book move from heavy to light, shadow to brightness and sometimes there is the murky in-between. You will see a repeat of themes as I make sense of my experiences and gain insights along the way. The writing is raw; it is soul exposure for the sake of self and others. I am assuming we can relate to one another or at least, this is my hope. My motivation to become a love master stemmed from a keen and painful awareness of my own lack of training in the noble ways of handling difficult situations and interactions with other humans. I know there is a better way, a godly way. Jesus came to show us how and he is the perfect example of the excellence we can live. Jesus is the ultimate Love Master. I invite you to join me inside the pages of the book you hold in your hands. Love Mastery is within your reach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Walt McDonald First-Book Competition in Poetry "A brilliant, beautiful orchestration of sensuous, intellectual, witty, accessible poetry" that is "most of all . . . a symphony of stunning imagery," says Robert A. Fink of the 1998 Walt McDonald winner. "Cathryn Essinger affirms the middle world, our familiar position between the worlds of intellect and sensation. We are small creatures 'digging skyward, pushing through the roots / of stars, chewing at the webbing of the universe' ("Ropes and Ladders"). Ours is a precarious adventure 'as we grope / for a hold on some steep cliff, hearing / only the whimper of ropes and lines / and the swish of the wind.' Here 'everything is bright / and properly placed.' Everything is 'familiar, so much the same ("Ropes and Ladders"). Light divides the darkness. We know our world and it is not waste and void. It is good."--Robert A. Fink
