His first major work was La Vita Nuova (1292), a tribute to Beatrice Portinari, the great love of his life who had died two years earlier. In 1302, Dante's political activism resulted in his being exiled from Florence. After years of wandering, he settled in Ravenna and in about 1307 began writing The Divine Comedy. Dante died in 1321.Robin Kirkpatrick is a poet and widely-published Dante scholar.

This strikingly illustrated edition presents Joyce’s epic novel in a new, more accessible light, while showcasing the incredible talent of a leading Spanish artist.   The neo-figurative artist Eduardo Arroyo (1937–2018), regarded today as one of the greatest Spanish painters of his generation, dreamed of illustrating James Joyce’s Ulysses. Although he began work on the project in 1989, it was never published during his lifetime: Stephen James Joyce, Joyce’s grandson and the infamously protective executor of his estate, refused to allow it, arguing that his grandfather would never have wanted the novel illustrated. In fact, a limited run appeared in 1935 with lithographs by Henri Matisse, which reportedly infuriated Joyce when he realized that Matisse, not having actually read the book, had merely depicted scenes from Homer’s Odyssey. Now available for the first time in English, this unique edition of the classic novel features three hundred images created by Arroyo—vibrant, eclectic drawings, paintings, and collages that reflect and amplify the energy of Joyce’s writing.

A New York Times BestsellerIn this spellbinding exploration of the varieties of love, the author of the worldwide bestseller Call Me by Your Name revisits its complex and beguiling characters decades after their first meeting. No novel in recent memory has spoken more movingly to contemporary readers about the nature of love than André Aciman’s haunting Call Me by Your Name.

In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio’s father, Samuel, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, who has become a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train with a beautiful young woman upends Sami’s plans and changes his life forever.Elio soon moves to Paris, where he, too, has a consequential affair, while Oliver, now a New England college professor with a family, suddenly finds himself contemplating a return trip across the Atlantic. Aciman is a master of sensibility, of the intimate details and the emotional nuances that are the substance of passion. Find Me brings us back inside the magic circle of one of our greatest contemporary romances to ask if, in fact, true love ever dies.

Each stage of the relationship is illuminated with startling clarity, as de Botton explores emotions often felt but rarely understood.With the verve of a novelist and the insight of a philosopher, Alain de Botton uncovers the mysteries of the human heart. Essays In Love is an iconic book - one that should be read by anyone who has ever fallen in love.

Det var en ganske almindelig dagbog, jeg gav mig i kast med. Intet bemærkelsesværdigt eller nyt under solen i det. De familiemedlemmer og venner, jeg var i kontakt med, og som kendte til mit ophold og projekt, kunne umiddelbart have en interesse i mit kortvarige liv i det romerske, mente jeg, og derfor skrev jeg dagbogen og mailede den hjem i 4 dele i løbet af mit ophold. Reaktionen på mine dagbogsoptegnelser var overraskende på den måde, at både familie og venner, der modtog dem, meldte tilbage, at de fandt det yderst interessant at få oplevelser fra og om Rom på denne måde, dvs. at udforske og opleve en by som Rom "På sporet af ...". I første række kom jeg til alle de steder, man skal besøge og se, for der havde billedhuggeren Jerichau og malerinden Elisabeth Jerichau også været, men samtidig blev jeg ført til andre og meget interessante steder, hvor jeg som normal og almindelig turist ikke ville være kommet. Derved er mit ophold blevet væsentligt meget rigere og mere interessant. Og jeg har fået et langt mere intimt kendskab til Rom både i et fortidigt, men også i et nutidigt perspektiv.
