The Divine Comedy by Dante Illustrated Paradise Complete

Dante Alighieri

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

The Divine Comedy, particularly the illustrated edition of Paradise, stands as a monumental achievement in world literature. This epic poem traverses the realms of the afterlife—Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso—showcasing Dante Alighieri's intricate allegory of the soul's journey towards God. The narrative is rich with theological and philosophical motifs, employing a terza rima rhyme scheme that enhances its lyrical quality. Blending classical and Christian influences, Dante crafts a vivid portrait of divine justice, embellished with striking illustrations that amplify the text's spiritual and aesthetic depth, allowing readers to experience the sublime journey anew. Dante Alighieri, a pivotal figure of the Italian Renaissance, faced personal and political turmoil, having been exiled from Florence. His background as an educated man engaged in the political life of his city profoundly influenced his critical views on society and morality. The Divine Comedy arose from his desire to reconcile human experience with divine order and expresses his quest for redemption, reflecting the complexities of faith, love, and reason that shaped his life. This illustrated edition of Paradise is essential for readers seeking a deeper understanding of not only Dante's spiritual exploration but also the historical context of the medieval world. Lovers of poetry, philosophy, and visual art will find this work to be a compelling invitation to explore the complexities of the human condition through a transformative lens.

The Haunting of Death- Extended

Rachel Lawson

This is a short poetic story based on characters from the Magicians series. 
I am beyond life, 
I am beyond strife, 
I am long beyond my last breath, 
I'm among the angelic host, 
some call me a ghost, 
I awoke one day dead or as good as dead, 
I knew not how it was even possible me being a ghost 
as I was the king of the grim reapers, so I cannot die in a normal way as this to become a ghost.

Animal Farm

George Orwell

'All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.'
When the animals in the farmyard rebel against their tyrannical farmer and take control of the farm, they hope to create a world where they can be equal, happier and free. But as power shifts and a new leader emerges, they soon face the age-old question: what does it really mean to be equal?
Exploring loss of identity, the seductive allure of privilege, and the corrupting nature of political power, George Orwell's Animal Farm is a classic story of rebellion and treachery, and a timely reminder of the importance of resistance.
Tatty Hennessy's adaptation received its professional premiere in 2025, directed by Amy Leach, co-produced by Leeds Playhouse and Stratford East in association with Nottingham Playhouse, and performed at all three theatres. It was commissioned and first performed by the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain in 2021.
