Sinossi

In "Verses and Sonnets," Hilaire Belloc employs a rich tapestry of lyrical poetry to explore themes of love, faith, and human folly. This collection showcases Belloc's mastery of traditional forms, particularly the sonnet, while also revealing his propensity for playful irony and profound philosophical reflection. The poems are marked by their musicality and vivid imagery, frequently drawing from both personal experiences and broader historical contexts. The work stands as a vivid testament to the literary revival of the early 20th century, aligning with contemporaries who sought to reinvigorate English verse amidst a rapidly changing social landscape. Hilaire Belloc, a prolific writer and influential figure in Edwardian literature, was not only a poet but also a historian and political commentator. Born in France and later settling in England, Belloc's diverse cultural background infused his work with a unique perspective on modernity, tradition, and the interplay between the two. His staunch Catholic faith and deep appreciation for the pastoral beauty of rural life permeate this collection, offering both solace and challenge to the reader. "Verses and Sonnets" is a compelling read for anyone interested in eloquent poetry that marries form with rich thematic exploration. Belloc's verses invite readers into a world where the sacred and the profane coexist, making it essential for scholars, poets, and general readers alike who seek to understand the depths of human experience through the lens of exquisite language.

Shadow of Dante - The Stranger...

Camila Gonzales

Does Lieutenant Vera Backland lust for her suspect? Has she plotted revenge for her lover? 
Go on a journey through this story to find out who might've been the actual killer and who might've been manipulated to think that they're the murderer. 
On the night of January 20, Lieutenant Vera Backland visits her favorite bar and sees a man who attracts her in an unusual way. A few hours later she visits a strange crime scene, in Sleepy Hollow. But Vera is not at her best; the disappearance of someone close to her has wreaked havoc on her psyche and she knows she's not one hundred percent ready to lead the new Complex Crimes Bureau in New York City. 
Along with her partner Luke Faller, she must find the murderer before he continues to claim more victims, guided by the play The Divine Comedy and by the classification he has made of sinners. 
Vera doubts everything and everyone. Even from herself, and for this she asks for help from her psychiatrist Alan Holt and her former tutor Clarence Perkins. She must not only understand the killer's mind but her own. With a vast criminal imagination and a new erotic imagination, Vera must come to terms with the shadows she carries before the shadows consume her.

All's Well That Ends Well

William Shakespeare

All's Well That Ends Well is a play by William Shakespeare.    Helena, the low-born ward of a Spanish countess, is in love with the countess' son Bertram, who is indifferent to her. Bertram goes to Paris to replace his late father as attendant to the ailing King of France. Helena, the daughter of a recently deceased doctor, follows Bertram, ostensibly to offer the King her services as a healer. The King is sceptical, and she guarantees the cure with her life: if he dies, she will be put to death, but if he lives, she may choose a husband from the court. The King is cured and Helena chooses Bertram, who rejects her, owing to her poverty and low status.     The King forces him to marry her, but after the ceremony Bertram immediately goes to war in Italy without so much as a goodbye kiss. He says that he will only marry her after she has borne his child and wears his family ring. In Italy, Bertram is a successful warrior and also a successful seducer of local virgins. Helena follows him to Italy, befriends Diana, a virgin with whom Bertram is infatuated, and they arrange for Helena to take Diana's place in bed. Diana obtains Bertram's ring in exchange for one of Helena's. In this way Helena, without Bertram's knowledge, consummates their marriage and wears his ring. Helena returns to the Spanish countess, who is horrified at what her son has done, and claims Helena as her child in Bertram's place. Helena fakes her death, and Bertram, thinking he is free of her, comes home.

Called to Create - Dramatized...

Adam Blanford, Tobias Hunter,...

Have you ever felt called to create something? Have you felt that nudge that becomes a desire? Then that desire becomes ambition, and then you’re almost compelled to complete what you started? 
From the beginning of time, God has called His children to share the Good News. One group of individuals He especially loves to call is artists. Looking at the sweeping majesty of a fiery sunset, or the delicate perfection of a single flower, I know that God is an artist. He uses beauty to share His love, and He calls artists to create beauty through their many mediums to spread His Word. 
Called to Create is a collection of audio dramas about artists throughout history who heeded God's call to use their talents to connect His children, share His love, and glorify His name.  
When God calls, the artist listens. 
Featuring stories based on the following artists: Genesius of Rome, James Tissot, Gabrielle Bossis, Sarah Fuller Flower Adams, Dorothea Sayers, and Tony Fontane.
