This book proposes that though Hell seems a God-forsaken place,
every scene, character and major image in Dante's Divine Comedy -
Hell, Purgatory and Paradise - is associated with one of the
Persons of the Holy Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as
it were lurking in the shadows. Thus every one of the hundred
cantos has a 'dedication' to a Person, and the cantos form
overarching groups which are also so dedicated, making the whole
poem like a vast symbolic cathedral, where every action has a
secret divine dimension. These presences make it very doubtful that
Dante really thinks God tortures people for eternity For readers
who may be unfamiliar with Dante, the author has made a
translation, abridged, in prose and verse, thus hoping to provide
an introduction to Dante for those who do not know him and a new
way of reading him for those who do. "The result of decades of
reflection on Dante and the Trinity, Dante's Hidden God offers a
fresh and challenging vision of the 'Commedia'. Offered as an
invitation to read Dante, this inventive presentation of Dante's
masterpiece will intrigue readers and gives an accessible account
of Paul Priest's highly original ideas about the 'sacrato poema'."
Dr Matthew Treherne, Senior Lecturer in Italian, University of
Leeds
In 1971, after buying their acreage in a very remote area of the
Colorado Mountains, the Wood family began to develop their dream
ranch. The history and wild life of the area provides a fascinating
backdrop for their story of adventure and discovery in the
wilderness. From the first Americans to the mining era and the
building of the railroads, Colorado is steeped in the glorious
history of the Wild West. The property was located in the middle of
a cow pasture with only marginal access and the closest electrical
lines were over twelve miles away. With no means of communication
and the closest town twenty-two miles away, the family had their
work cut out for them. After surviving a devastating blizzard with
thirty people in their home, they understood the importance of
understanding survival techniques. Their crazy but true experiences
are recounted with frankness and humor. By sharing his experiences
and newly-gained knowledge, Wood has saved many of his friends
hundreds of dollars, offering his advice on energy systems and the
challenges of building in a remote area. Through perseverance and
good old-fashioned hard work, he and his family built their dream
ranch in the beautiful mountains of Colorado.
Charlie Akers has spent his entire life following others, making
few decisions, and generally having little input into his future.
He wakes up one day in prison and, as usual, has no inkling how he
got there. Since he has been charged with suspected robbery and
murder, it appears that parole is a long shot, if it is an option
at all.
The facts surrounding his capture have left him totally puzzled.
He was knocked unconscious at the scene of the crime and could not
remember anything about the actual event or the circumstances
leading up to it. Is he guilty or innocent? Even he does not really
know the answer to that question
A trial time has been set by the District Attorney. Charlie's
defense attorney is struggling to gather the correct information in
order to prepare a reasonable defense for him. His battle with his
situation, his help from friends, and the gaps in his relationship
with his best friend from his youth will keep him in suspense for a
long time.
How much worse can it get than being assigned to death row and
you don't know how you got there?
Get Your Shit Together is the first book that exclusively features
recent artwork in color by beloved British artist David Shrigley.
This volume celebrates Shrigley's absurd, deadpan sensibility
through both his signature drawing style and accompanying text.
Organized by chapters with titles such as Stupid, Nonsense, Dirt,
Fear, Paranoia, Love, and Self Delusion, this collection is sure to
delight die-hard Shrigley fans and new ones alike. This is the
largest-format book to date on Shrigley's prolific work, and
features design details such as a ribbon marker with one of his
mordant sayings printed on it, as well as hand-written, humorous
essays throughout.
