Matteo Maria Boiardo

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

Matteo Maria Boiardo's "The Orlando Innamorato" stands as a groundbreaking epic that intricately weaves themes of love, chivalry, and the heroic quest within the context of Renaissance literature. Written in elaborate terza rima, Boiardo employs a rich tapestry of allegory and vivid imagery to navigate the tumultuous relationship between love and knightly duty. Set against the backdrop of the medieval romance tradition, the narrative chronicles the adventures of the valiant Orlando and his tumultuous passions, blending realism with the fantasy of a mythical world where knights embark on quests that test their moral fiber and romantic ideals. Boiardo, hailing from a noble family, was profoundly influenced by the socio-political tensions of 15th-century Italy and the legacy of earlier chivalric tales. His artistic pursuits were further shaped by his connections to the courtly culture of Ferrara, which fostered a deep appreciation for literature and the arts. This cultural milieu provided Boiardo with the inspiration to reconcile the ideals of courtly love with the humanist principles emerging during his time, making his work a precursor to later epic poems. "The Orlando Innamorato" is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the evolution of epic poetry and the complexities of human emotions. Readers will find themselves captivated not only by Boiardo's masterful storytelling but also by his profound insights into love and valor that resonate through the ages. This monumental work invites exploration and reflection, offering a captivating journey into the heart of Renaissance thought.

Alpha Nicholas - Marked As Your...

Becky J

"The first night I saw you I fought every emotion, every instinct and I was a fool for doing it. The moment I laid eyes on you I should have claimed you, thrown you over my shoulder and brought you up to our room to mate and mark you. You should already be wearing my mark and officially be known as the Luna of this pack but I didn't do any of that. Instead, I walked away like a fucking idiot and worst of all I hurt you when I had no right to. Every day I wish I could go back to that day and change how I reacted but I can't, and so now I have to pay for my behaviour and that means waiting until you are ready to accept me as your mate and my Luna, until you are ready to wear my mark."
 
In Book 2, secrets about Tony’s mother, Adrian’s fate, and the rogue Alpha’s disappearance begin to unravel—revealing a truth far darker than they ever imagined. As Alpha Nicholas and Bonnie’s bond deepens, they must face not only their own fears and desires, but a growing darkness that threatens to tear them apart.

The Alpha Who Saved Me

Stacy Rush

They came in and wiped out my pack, leaving me an orphan at the age of fifteen, but then Alpha Declan came in and saved me, bringing me into his own pack. I've been living with the Storm River pack for three years now, training and learning how to fight, so when the time comes, I can kill the Alpha that took my family and pack away from me.But what do you do when you start to fall for the one who saved you to begin with? The one that took you under his wing when you had nothing left? The one who kissed you first, and made you feel things that you didn't feel before? I shouldn't be with him; he isn't my mate. I've yet to scent my mate, but Declan is too delicious to pass up. He's already saved me once, but can he save me from falling for him when I know my Goddess-given mate is out there somewhere?
 
I feel us moving and then I’m being placed on the hood of his Tesla. This puts me so my core is up against his hardness, and oh my Goddess, he feels monstrous! It’s a good thing that I’m not his mate, because I don’t think I’d be able to take it. It doesn’t stop me from rubbing against it, though, as tingles begin to form, and I moan.“That’s it, sweetheart, rub yourself against me and come for me. I want to see what you look like when you fall apart in my arms.” His command washes over me and I come instantly.
