Can they put their troubles and differences aside and remember the simple joy of their younger selves? After all, friends should always come first, shouldn''t they?

The Divine Comedy - Dante Alighieri - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The final volume in this brilliant translation destined to take its place among the great English versions of The Divine Comedy . In his translation of Paradise , Mark Musa exhibits the same sensitivity to language and knowledge of translation that enabled his versions of Inferno and Purgatory to capture the vibrant power and full dramatic force of Dante’s poetry. Dante relates his mystical interpretation of the heavens, and his moment of transcendent glory, as he journeys, first with Beatrice, then alone, toward the Trinity. Professor Musa’s extraordinary translation and his interpretive commentary, informative glossary, and bibliography clarify the theological themes and make Dante accessible to the English-speaking public.

Read it: it will make the whole intractable business easier to understand'' John Simpson There are few more compelling and more tragic issues in the world today than the bitter struggle between Palestinians and Israelis.

The best guide to the region is Anton La Guardia’s highly acclaimed Holy Land, Unholy War . More than any other book, Holy Land, Unholy War disentangles myths and realities and gives a brilliantly clear and thoughtful picture of an unhappy place.

The Prussian Officer and Other Stories - D. H. Lawrence - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Prussian Officer and Other Stories - D. H. Lawrence - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

His first published collection, these twelve stories were written between 1907 and 1914, during a crucial period of development for Lawrence from which he emerged a leading figure of the modernist movement. Reaching new levels of feeling and experience, these stories range from the tale of a Prussian officer who drives his orderly towards a bloody reckoning, to the strangely exotic elements of ''A Fragment of Stained Glass'' , and the divisions within society and conflicts of the heart that form the central themes of ''Daughters of a Vicar'' . Interweaving individual lives, their happiness, failures and defeats, with the prfound forces of nature, Lawrence has created stories of remarkable power and sensitivity. This Penguin edition reproduces the newly established Cambridge text, which is based on Lawrence''s manuscripts, typescripts and corrected proofs.
