Sinopsis

In "The Divine Comedy: The Inferno," Dante Alighieri embarks on an allegorical journey through the depths of Hell, skillfully employing the terza rima structure that contributes to the poem's rhythmic and musical quality. The narrative is rich with symbolism, intricately woven with theological, philosophical, and historical allusions that illuminate the moral ramifications of sin and redemption. Dante's vivid imagery and profound characterizations vividly bring to life the torments of the damned, reflecting the medieval worldview on justice and divine retribution, set against the backdrop of a pivotal cultural moment in the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Dante, a Florentine poet and philosopher, was profoundly influenced by his personal exile and political strife, which ignited his reflections on morality and the human soul's navigation through sin. His experiences shaped the themes of justice and the quest for divine understanding within this work. "The Inferno" serves not only as a narrative exploration of posthumous consequences but also as a commentary on the sociopolitical dynamics of Dante's time, richly detailing the poet's struggle with issues of identity and belief. Recommended for scholars and enthusiasts alike, "The Divine Comedy: The Inferno" invites readers to contemplate the complex interplay of good and evil. Through Dante's evocative prose, readers engage with universal themes of redemption and the human condition, fostering a deeper understanding of one of literature's most significant works. This masterpiece remains a cornerstone of world literature, essential for anyone seeking insight into the ethical dilemmas that continue to resonate today.

    'The supernatural is possible and the impossible is natural and life teeters on the edge of the unreal'
    Malachi's been looking forward to a fresh start at uni for months. He's settling in, he's got a stack of books to read and he's met someone new – Kojo, a musician with a megawatt smile, who's basically perfect.
    But something doesn't feel right. He keeps having the same nightmare – sinking, crushed by the weight of the ocean – and it's getting worse… A beast grows in the water, hungry, relentless, hunting him but always just out of sight. As the boundaries between nightmare and reality fracture, Malachi must fight harder than ever to stay afloat.
    Kwame Owusu's play Dreaming and Drowning is an intimate and visceral deep-dive into the boundless mind of a young Black queer man wrestling with anxiety.
    It won the Mustapha Matura Award, was shortlisted for the Alfred Fagon Award, and was one of the winning plays in the RSC's 37 Plays competition. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in November 2023, directed by the playwright, performed by Tienne Simon, and produced by WoLab.

    The Poetry of Elinor Wylie - One...

    Elinor Morton Hoyt was born on 7th September, 1885 in Somerville, New Jersey and from age 12 grew up in Washington D C where her father served as assistant attorney general and later solicitor general.  Her early education together with her renowned beauty suggests she was being trained for life as a debutante but her life quickly found another route as she became absorbed in the world of books. 
     
    An early marriage following her graduation ended when, after being pursued by Horace Wylie, 17 years her senior and a married Washington lawyer with three children, she eloped to England with him.  His wife would not divorce him and the subsequent scandal was widely publicised further fueled by the suicide in 1912 of her abandoned husband. 
     
    With Wylie's encouragement she published in 1912, ‘Incidental Number’, assembled from poems of the previous decade. 
     
    Despite a child from her first marriage Elinor subsequently endured miscarriages, a stillbirth and a premature child who lived for only one week.  When Wylie’s deserted wife agreed to a divorce, the couple returned to the United States and married but they were already drawing apart. 
     
    In 1921, Elinor’s ‘Nets to Catch the Wind’, was published. It was an immediate success and a prize-winner.  In New York’s literary circles she found her next husband who acted as her agent – the poer William Rose Benét, brother of the famed Stephen. They married in 1923 and that same year ‘Black Armor’, was published. The New York Times said "There is not a misplaced word or cadence in it."  She also published her first of four novels, ‘Jennifer Lom’, to excellent reviews. 
     
    She worked for a time as the poetry editor of Vanity Fair, an editor of Literary Guild, and a contributing editor of The New Republic.  Her third book of poetry, ‘Trivial Breath’ arrived in 1928 as did the failure of her marriage with Benét.  
     
    She moved again to England and fell in love with a friend’s husband, to whom she wrote, and later published a series of 19 sonnets; ‘Angels and Earthly Creatures’. 
     
    Elinor Wylie suffered high blood pressure all her adult life and this eventually led to her death at Benet’s New York apartment on 16th December, 1928 where she suffered a stroke. She was 43.

    The novella Teach Me How to Die tells a story of six people – five men and a woman, who have made a decision to commit suicide, but do not know how they should write their final suicide notes properly.  In such a way that it would shed some light on who they were and explain why they have severed all ties with life…  
    They attend the master class, conducted by a Professor of Philology – Scott Mirrormord, who specializes in epitaph writing. How did the classes affect the students? Did their perception of life and each other change?  
    Did they realize their plans to part with life? You will find answers in this novella, where the tragic and comic elements are beautifully intertwined.

    Publisher’s Note:Two years ago, when we published Pranab Raha’s collection of essays ‘Akopat’, we promised the readers that we will bring more of his works in the future. Hence, we are pleased to bring you his second published audiobook ‘Charminar’.‘Charminar’ is a collection of four short and long stories by the author that are basically satirical in nature.In this book, he has brought out the subtle aspects of human character in a humorous approach. Like all his writings, these stories too, have an unspoken hidden message, that a sophisticated reader would have no difficulty in grasping.We hope that ‘Charminar’, like the author’s first book ‘Akopat’ published by us will be well received by the readers.Author’s Note:The intersection of time and technology has brought about some changes in the way people consume literature. Recognizing this change, I have published an audiobook of four stories, embracing this transformation.However, for enthusiastic readers, the printed hard copy of the book will also be made available very soon.Since the four stories are narrated by four different narrators in distinct styles, the stories do not possess the same qualities in all aspects.Nevertheless, if the stories provide an enjoyable listening experience, then the efforts and contributions of those involved in this endeavour, although somewhat limited, will be worthwhile.
