Synopsis

E. Nesbit's "Nine Unlikely Tales" presents a captivating collection of whimsical and enchanting short stories that challenge the boundaries between fantasy and reality. Richly imbued with the author's characteristic wit and charm, these tales invite readers into a world where the improbable becomes possible, featuring mischievous children, magical encounters, and delightful twists. Nesbit's literary style deftly combines elements of fairy tales with modern realism, offering a playful critique of Victorian norms while resonating with both children and adults alike, a testament to her innovative contributions to children's literature during a time when such genres were gaining prominence. E. Nesbit, a pioneering figure in children's literature, was inspired by her personal experiences and a desire to create stories that reflected the complexities of childhood. Growing up in a time of social change, she drew upon her knowledge of mythology and folklore, as well as her passion for social reform, to craft narratives that both entertain and enlighten. As a founding member of the Fabian Society, her commitment to social issues often permeated her writing, making her work not only relevant but also rich in underlying themes. Readers are highly encouraged to delve into "Nine Unlikely Tales" for its whimsical storytelling and profound insights into human nature. This collection offers a delightful escape into a world filled with imagination and moral lessons, making it an essential read for anyone seeking the magic that lies within the fabric of everyday life.

    The Divine Comedy - The Vision...

    The Comedy (in Italian, Commedia), or Divine Comedy (Divina Commedia), is a poem by Dante Alighieri written in tercets strung together in hendecasyllables in the Florentine vernacular. Composed, according to critics, between 1303 and 1321, the Commedia is Dante's most famous work and one of the most important testimonies to medieval civilization. Known and studied throughout the world, it is considered one of the masterpieces of literature.In his edition printed in Venice in 1555, Gabriele Giolito de Ferrari (here painted by Titian in 1554) first gave the title "Divina" to Dante's Comedy, which has remained so to this day.The Divine Comedy is generally considered to be the first great text in Italian: the language in which it is written has had a considerable influence on the peninsula's modern idiom. In writing his work, Dante was largely inspired by the bloody conflict he himself experienced in Italy, pitting the Guelphs (Guelfi) against the Ghibellines (Ghibellini) (1125-1300). From a literary point of view, Dante makes explicit reference to the Aeneid and the Apocalypse of Paul, the two best-known ancient texts in the genre of tales of journeys to the Underworld.The poem is divided into three parts called cantiche (Italian plural for cantica): Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory) and Paradiso (Paradise), each composed of thirty-three songs (except Hell, which contains a preliminary song). The poet narrates a journey through the three supra-terrestrial kingdoms, culminating in a vision of the Trinity. His imaginary, allegorical depiction of the Christian afterlife is a pinnacle of the medieval worldview developed by the Roman Catholic Church.

    Anger is one of the six core human emotions which we all experience from time to time. The Angry Alien feels 'different' and means he finds it difficult to control his emotions. His anger only makes him harder to understand until a good friend helps him come to terms with why he is the way he is and how to overcome those 'big feelings.' A book for younger readers to read alone or with the help of adults. Useful reading aids included. Beautifully illustrated and in easy-to-understand rhyme.
