Download or read book The Banquet Il Convito written by Dante Alighieri and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Banquet (Il Convito)" by Dante Alighieri is an unfinished work which consists of four books, or, "tratatti": a prefatory one, plus three books that each include a canzone and a prose allegorical interpretation or commentary of the poem. The Convivio is a kind of vernacular encyclopedia of the knowledge of Dante's time; it touches on many areas of learning, not only philosophy but also politics, linguistics, science, astronomy, and history. The treatise begins with the prefatory book, or proem, which explains why a book like the Convivio is needed and why Dante is writing it in the vernacular instead of Latin. It is one of Dante's early defenses of the vernacular

Book excerpt: One of the surest signs of fame among men is when one is known solely by his first name, and yet the mention of just that first name makes clear who is being spoken of. So it is with Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), known simply as Dante, thanks to the success of his Divine Comedy, one of the seminal works in human history. With the Divine Comedy, Dante is often considered the master of contemporary Italian, as well as a forerunner of the Renaissance, which began to flourish in Florence around the same time. The Divine Comedy tells of Dante's journey through Hell (the Inferno), Purgatory, and Paradise, guided by famous poets including Virgil. Dante's epic discusses religion, philosophy, and a wide range of subject matter throughout Dante's travels. Although Dante will always be known for Divine Comedy, he also wrote other works, touching on topics like philosophy in works like Convivio, and religion and power in De Monarchia

Download or read book The Banquet written by Gray Jacobik and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-11 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gray Jacobik's The Banquet is a feast of opposites, a carnival of contraries. The highwire walker who has created such poems is perfectly balanced between heaven and earth. It is rare to encounter truth-saying that is so wholly sensual and philosophical, sexual and intellectual at the same breath-taking moment, so witty but also sober in its assessments, so utterly simple and complex. None have seen, smelled, tasted, heard and touched this world with greater love and accuracy than Gray Jacobik, while at the same time sensing the world of spirit with every ounce of her being. Most importantly, her poems are inherently moral in their visceral refusal to espouse conventional morality, their insistence on raising it to a higher level. You will find yourself singing as you emerge from this carnival of mind and body and spirit
Download or read book The Last Banquet written by Jonathan Grimwood and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set against the backdrop of the Enlightenment, the delectable decadence of Versailles, and the French Revolution, The Last Banquet is an intimate epic that tells the story of one man’s quest to know the world through its many and marvelous flavors. Jean-Marie d’Aumout will try anything once, with consequences that are at times mouthwatering and at others fascinatingly macabre (Three Snake Bouillabaisse anyone? Or perhaps some pickled Wolf's Heart?). When he is not obsessively searching for a new taste d’Aumout is a fast friend, a loving husband, a doting father, and an imaginative lover. He befriends Ben Franklin, corresponds with the Marquis de Sade and Voltaire, becomes a favorite at Versailles, thwarts a peasant uprising, improves upon traditional French methods of contraception, plays an instrumental role in the Corsican War of Independence, and constructs France’s finest menagerie. But d’Aumout’s every adventurous turn is decided by his at times dark obsession to know all the world’s flavors before that world changes irreversibly. As gripping as Patrick Suskind’s Perfume, as gloriously ambitious as Daniel Kehlman’s Measuring the World, and as prize-worthy as Andrew Miller’s Pure, The Last Banquet is a hugely appealing novel about food and flavor, about the Age of Reason and the ages of man, and our obsessions and about how, if we manage to survive them, they can bequeath us wisdom and consolation in old age.
Download or read book After Prayer written by Malcolm Guite and published by Canterbury Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major new poetry collection from bestselling poet and priest Malcolm Guite features more than seventy new and previously unpublished works. At the heart of this collection is a sequence of twenty seven sonnets written in response to George Herbert’s exquisite sonnet 'Prayer', each one describing prayer in an arresting metaphor such as ‘the church's banquet’, ‘reversed thunder’, ‘the Milky Way’, ‘the bird of paradise’ and ‘something understood’. In conversation with each of these, Malcolm’s sonnets offer profound insights into the nature of communion with God in all circumstances and conditions. Recognising that all poetry is a pursuit of prayer, After Prayer also includes forty five more widely ranging new poems, including a sonnet sequence on the seven heavens.

Download or read book The Body Banquet written by Carla Jetko and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Body Banquet unhinges the gates to dreamscapes where obsessions with food, body and place reign in ordered chaos. Carla Jetko uses modern incantations and seductive rhythms to lure us into the lush sanctuaries of her mind. Her intelligent and subtle use of humour, coupled with unusual imagery constantly surprises, in a realm where ordinary events metamorphose into the extraordinary. Like a box of gourmet chocolates, these poems include a rich selection of tastes and adventures that are good enough to tempt skeptics and poetry lovers alike. This book entices, loosens inhibitions, and invites interaction with entities from myth and legend. Dine with Robigus the God of Mildew, experience the bitter rites of gold and chocolate in the Olmec Basin, cruise the aisles of a surreal supermarket, and immerse yourself in toast envy. This, her first full length poetry collection, is a delicious offering where boundaries fade and body becomes banquet, banquet becomes body. "Carla Jetko's mouthwatering poetry is presented with confidence and flair, its courses served in delectable parcels of prose poems with lashings of free verse. Poetry to be enjoyed by the keen epicure and savoured for its sensuous sharpness, imaginative honesty and unnerving directness. It is to be taken seriously. Poetry for poetry foodies." Sally Evans - Editor of Poetry Scotland
