Описание: The Rime petrose, Dante's powerful lyrics about a woman as beautiful and as hard as a precious stone, are generally acknowledged to be an important moment in his stylistic development. In this full-length investigation of the poetics of the petrose and of their relation to TheDivine Comedy, Robert M. Durling and Ronald L. Martinez uncover new material, especially from medieval science (astrology and mineralogy), philosophy, and theology. The authors argue that the Rime petrose represent a major turning point in Dante's conception of a "microcosmic poetics" that became the fundamental mode of the Commedia. They demonstrate how Dante here attempts his first full account of his relation to the universe as a whole.

This work offers many insights into the intrinsic significance of these remarkable poems and their place in Dante's development. Especially far-reaching are the implications for the interpretation of TheDivine Comedy.Time and the Crystal will interest not only students of Dante but also intellectual historians, historians of science, students of poetics and poetic theory, and all those interested in medieval literature.

Описание: This is a wonderful story about a mountain Lion and a Honey bee who lived in a faraway land called Mystery Mountain. Now if you tried to find Mystery Mountain, you wouldn't be able to because it's not on any map, and it is hidden by a magical cloud, which covers the entire Island. So you cannot see Mystery Mountain from a boat or an airplane. The fact that Mystery Mountain cannot be seen protects all the animals from their greatest enemy-Man. The island has animals, trees, plants, flowers, insects, streams, rivers, and lakes-all of which make Mystery Mountain a very special place.
