Beschreibung

✨ A journey, a pilgrimage, and a hundred voices—welcome to one of the greatest storytelling collections ever written.

In the late 14th century, Geoffrey Chaucer captured the spirit of medieval England through a tapestry of vivid characters and unforgettable tales. The Canterbury Tales follows a group of pilgrims traveling to Canterbury Cathedral, each taking turns to share stories that range from humorous to tragic, moral to bawdy, profound to satirical.

From the ribald wit of The Miller's Tale to the moral reflections of The Parson's Tale, Chaucer blends comedy, philosophy, romance, and social critique in a way that still speaks powerfully to readers today. Beyond entertainment, these tales reveal timeless insights into human nature, love, greed, honor, and faith.

🌟 Revered as a cornerstone of English literature, The Canterbury Tales is not only a cultural treasure but also a timeless mirror of society, rich with humor, wisdom, and truth.

Perfect for lovers of classics, literature students, and anyone who delights in stories that transcend time, this edition brings Chaucer's brilliance to modern readers.

    There is a fresh candor and a new ease of utterance in this fifth volume of poems by the Dominican writer Paul Murray. What most immediately impresses, in lyric after lyric, are the moments of quiet epiphany. But such moments of vision have not been easily achieved. Throughout the work, rather than avoid the “torn” and wounded areas of our lives, a range of feelings and experiences—unnamed, invading, threatening, desired—are courageously explored. In the end, the vision, the spiritual awareness that is attained, is the more persuasive and convincing for having first been tested.

    Move from a transactional experience with God to a transformational friendship with Him through prayer. How can time with God be a source of peace in a loud and distracting world? In Beholding, spiritual director and poet Strahan Coleman invites readers to discover the joy of being with God, not just working for Him. As they inhabit the art of resting in God’s presence, prayer becomes not only a place of seeking, but becoming. Beholding calls Christians to understand how:  Prayer is so much more than spoken conversation between us and God; it’s a way of existing together. Beholding God in prayer is profoundly connected to beholding and dignifying others.Embracing prayer practices from different Christian traditions digs a deep well of peace in the soul.Our everyday ordinary lives can become the meeting place for God through silence, solitude, community, creation, and hospitality.

    Poetry Book Society Recommendation Spring 2025
    The debut poetry collection from award-winning writer and spoken word artist, Desree, Altar explores multifaceted dimensions of sacrifice, challenging its heroism and examining its ties to servility. The poems in Altar urge their protagonists to play neither lion nor lamb, but to live and flourish on their own terms. Each page glimmers with vivid, often devastating vignettes: we witness the resilience of youth, the strength of the Black female body, the complexity of chosen and unchosen family, the sweeping effects of gentrification. Through reflections on Black British identity, queer joy, place and belonging, faith and consent, Desree invites the reader on a journey of reclamation, while her wry wit and disarming tenderness hold us through the necessary storms that mark the way.
    "Gorgeous in its redefining of self" Yomi Sode
    "A collection of wonder and witness. These poems — both powerful and tender — grapple with the parallels of life and death, the body and spirit, loss and love, and demand a response." Rachel Long
    "This is thrilling writing. Unexpected, alive, and curious. Desree enters the page, stage left." Joelle Taylor
    "For those of us who wonder if we've been 'turned off at the wall', Desree's poems act as a hallway: we drop off selves we didn't realise we were carrying, and return, new and re-accepted into our own arms." Kareem Parkins-Brown

    "When We Were Very Young" is a book of poetry for children by the legendary British author A.A. Milne and marks the first appearance of the "silly old bear" who would soon become a worldwide sensation: Winnie-the-Pooh.   In these poems, the narrator - a young boy named Christopher Robin (after Milne's own son) - navigates the world of adolescence, imagining kings and queens, questing knights, talking bears, imaginary friends and explores the curiosity and wonder of the grown-up world seen through the eyes of a child.   "When We Were Very Young" - the first book of the Winnie-the-Pooh series - was an immediate hit when it was first published in 1924 and spawned the next three Pooh books: Winnie-the-Pooh, Now We Are Six and The House at Pooh Corner. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
