The Divine Comedy - by Dante Alighieri (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 268Genre: Fiction + Literature GenresSub-Genre: ClassicsFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Digireads.comAge Range: AdultAuthor: Dante AlighieriLanguage: English Book Synopsis The "Divine Comedy" was entitled by Dante himself merely "Commedia," meaning a poetic composition in a style intermediate between the sustained nobility of tragedy, and the popular tone of elegy. The word had no dramatic implication at that time, though it did involve a happy ending. The poem is the narrative of a journey down through Hell, up the mountain of Purgatory, and through the revolving heavens into the presence of God. In this aspect it belongs to the two familiar medieval literary types of the Journey and the Vision. It is also an allegory, representing under the symbolism of the stages and experiences of the journey, the history of a human soul, painfully struggling from sin through purification to the Beatific Vision. Contained in this volume is the complete "Divine Comedy," from the translation of Charles Eliot Norton.

Regeneration is the seventh studio album by The Divine Comedy, originally released in March, 2001. On 12 March 2001. Three singles were released from the album: "Love What You Do", "Bad Ambassador" and "Perfect Lovesong". Produced by Nigel Godrich, known for his work with Radiohead, this album is distinctly different from Neil Hannon's other work and was darker in tone than what The Divine Comedy's listeners had come to expect. It leans towards more stripped-down, somber tunes than the catchy, orchestral-driven songs for which the band are best known. In this respect, the album is slightly reminiscent of the debut Fanfare for the Comic Muse. It is a more group-concentrated effort, hence the more organic sound.

Jewish Comedy - by Jeremy Dauber (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 384Genre: Literary CriticismSub-Genre: JewishFormat: PaperbackPublisher: W. W. Norton & CompanyAge Range: AdultAuthor: Jeremy DauberLanguage: English About the Book Finalist for the National Jewish Book Award "Dauber deftly surveys the whole recorded history of Jewish humour." --Economist Book Synopsis In a major work of scholarship that explores the funny side of some very serious business (and vice versa), Jeremy Dauber examines the origins of Jewish comedy and its development from biblical times to the age of Twitter. Organizing Jewish comedy into "seven strands"--including the satirical, the witty, and the vulgar--he traces the ways Jewish comedy has mirrored, and sometimes even shaped, the course of Jewish history. Dauber also explores the classic works of such masters of Jewish comedy as Sholem Aleichem, Isaac Babel, Franz Kafka, the Marx Brothers, Woody Allen, Joan Rivers, Philip Roth, Mel Brooks, Sarah Silverman, Jon Stewart, and Larry David, among many others. Review Quotes A comprehensive, accessible treatment of a complex subject. As the famous 1960s ad campaign for Levy's rye bread told us, you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy it.--Harvey Freedenberg "BookPage"A serious and good philosophical work... that doesn't consist entirely of jokes but has an awful lot of them in it.... Some of its jokes are laugh-out-loud funny, and some of them are poignantly beautiful.--David Baddiel "Times Literary Supplement"A serious study, and most interesting at its most serious and obscure.--Cathleen Schine "New York Review of Books"An excellent new survey of Jewish humor from the Old Testament through Adam Sandler.--Joseph Epstein "Weekly Standard"Both erudite and breezy.... Dauber's breadth left me breathless and his depth left me in his debt.--Adam Rovner "Forward"Hugely smart and hugely readable.... Here is a serious book full of the reasons Jewish humor is as funny and influential as it is, whether it's a response to persecution or a social satire or intellectual or raunchy or ironic or folksy.--Jeff Simon "Buffalo News"Sharp and wide-ranging.... Dauber finds comedy in unexpected places.--Adam Wilson "Bookforum"Thoughtful.... Fascinating.--Mark Horowitz "New York Times Book Review"A brilliant and groundbreaking book.--Adam Kirsch, author of The People and the BooksThis book is brilliant, endlessly revelatory, and Jeremy Dauber is that rare scholar and critic of real depth who doesn't just make his subject accessible but animates it with the strength of his prose. He's also one of the few writers I've encountered who can explain a joke without killing it. Bravo.--Sam Lipsyte, author of The Fun Parts

This edition includes the complete texts of Dante's Inferno, Purgatoria, and Paradiso. Book Synopsis The Divine Comedy describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise and represents the soul's journey towards God. This edition includes the complete texts of Dante's Inferno, Purgatoria, and Paradiso.Inferno - Inferno begins with Dante lost in a dark wood, assailed by beasts he cannot evade, and unable to find the straight way to salvation. Conscious that he is ruining himself and that he is falling into a dark place, Dante is at last rescued by Virgil, and the two of them begin their journey to the underworld. Allegorically, the Inferno represents the Christian soul seeing sin for what it really is, and the three beasts represent three types of sin: the self-indulgent, the violent, and the malicious.Purgatoria - Having survived the depths of Hell, Dante and Virgil ascend out of the undergloom to the Mountain of Purgatory on the far side of the world. The mountain has seven terraces, corresponding to the seven deadly sins. Dante's illustrative examples of sin and virtue draw on classical sources as well as on the Bible and on contemporary events.Paradiso - After an initial ascension, Beatrice guides Dante through the nine celestial spheres of Heaven. These are concentric and spherical, as in Aristotelian and Ptolemaic cosmology. The structure of Paradiso is based on the four cardinal virtues and the three theological virtues. In Paradiso, Dante meets and converses with several great saints of the Church, including Saint Peter, and St. John. Allegorically, the poem represents the soul's ascent to God.This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

By the man the New York Times calls a comic institution himself, the only comedian (twenty-six years in stand-up) to have made Elie Wiesel laugh, as well as having appeared on The Tonight Show (140 times, second only to Bob Hope, but who's counting). From the director of TV comedy series Mad About You, Seinfeld, Friends, Weeds and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David: "I'm lucky. I know and love David Steinberg. You don't. Now's your chance. Don't blow it! "David has always been a comedy hero to me. One of his many gifts is the ability to inspire funny people to be even funnier, as you will discover in this truly hilarious, insightful book." --Martin Short From David Steinberg, a rabbi's son from Winnipeg, Canada, who at age fifteen enrolled at Hebrew Theological College in Chicago (the rabbinate wasn't for him) and four years later, entered the master's program in English literature at the University of Chicago, until he saw Lenny Bruce, the Blue Boy of Comedy, the coolest guy Steinberg had ever seen, and joined Chicago's Second City improvisational group, becoming, instead, the comedian's comedian, director, actor, working with, inspired by, teaching, and learning from the most celebrated, admired, complicated comedians, then and now--a funny, moving, provocative, insightful look into the soul, wit, and bite of comedy and comedians--a universe unto itself--of the last half-century. From the greats: George Burns, Lenny Bruce, Sid Caesar, Lucille Ball, Mel Brooks, and Carl Reiner, et al., to the newer greats: Carol Burnett, Steve Martin, Lily Tomlin, Billy Crystal, Bob Newhart, and the man for all comedy, Martin (Marty) Short; to the greats of right now: Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Wanda Sykes; and more . . . Steinberg, through stories, reminiscences, tales of directing, touring, performing, and, through the comedians themselves talking (from more than 75 interviews), makes clear why he loves comedy and comedians who have been by his side in his work, and in his life, for more than sixty years. Here are: Will Ferrell, Eric Idle, Whoopi Goldberg, Mike Myers, Groucho himself and the greatest of them all (at least of the last half century), Jonathan Winters . . . Review Quotes "At first glance, David Steinberg might seem like too much of a mensch to really spill the beans about his chosen profession . . . the venerated stand-up comic, actor, and sitcom director, has impeccable nice-guy credentials . . . [He] truly admires his peers and understands what makes them tick. And he proves to be a genial, generous raconteur and reciter of showbiz lore . . . charming."--Dave Itzkoff, The New York Times "David has always been a comedy hero to me. One of his many gifts is the ability to inspire funny people to be even funnier, as you will discover in this truly hilarious, insightful book."--Martin Short "I'm lucky. I know and love David Steinberg. You don't. Now's your chance. Don't blow it!"--Larry David "Being a part of David's life and now this wonderful book has been a special joy. He's hilarious, and brilliant, plus you can talk to him about anything, and he doesn't charge you for it. This book is like going to a comedy museum except you can laugh out loud and nobody says, 'Shhh'. . ."--Billy Crystal "David Steinberg is one of the funniest men on the planet. His book is just like his comedy--wickedly smart, emotional, revealing and hilarious. I loved this book."--Don Winslow, #1 internationally bestselling author of The Cartel, The Force, and The Border "David's memories blow me away. All these years later, he remembers that Elaine May sat in the front row at the Hollywood Bowl and roared at my routine at the first gay rights fundraising concert. He also reminded me that Richard Pryor wrote for my 1973 Lily Tomlin TV special! In the words of Edith Ann, 'and that's the truth!'"--Lily Tomlin "David Steinberg has always been one of my favorite comedians. I memorized his album, Disguised as a Normal Person when it came out. It was a huge thrill to work with him when he directed some episodes of Seinfeld. He will always be one of my comedy heroes."--Jerry Seinfeld "David is truly a national treasure, even though he's Canadian, who is loved, admired and revered by all in the comedy world. You're going to have a great time reading these stories about all the comedic greats by one of the greatest."--Susie Essman About the Author DAVID STEINBERG is a Canadian comedian, actor, writer, director, and author.

The Divine Comedy - by Dante Alighieri (Hardcover)
Number of Pages: 302Genre: Fiction + Literature GenresSub-Genre: Action & AdventureFormat: HardcoverPublisher: Indoeuropeanpublishing.comAge Range: AdultAuthor: Dante AlighieriLanguage: English Book Synopsis The Divine Comedy (Italian: La Divina Commedia) is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321. It is widely considered the preeminent work of Italian literature, and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature. The poem's imaginative and allegorical vision of the Christian afterlife is a culmination of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church. It helped establish the Tuscan dialect in which it is written as the Italian standard. It is divided into three parts, the Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso.On the surface the poem describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven; but at a deeper level it represents allegorically the soul's journey towards God. At this deeper level, Dante draws on medieval Christian theology and philosophy, especially the teachings of Thomas Aquinas. At the surface level, the poem is understood to be fictional.

The Divine Comedy - by Dante Alighieri (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 928Genre: PoetrySub-Genre: EuropeanFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Berkley BooksAge Range: AdultBook theme: GeneralAuthor: Dante AlighieriLanguage: English About the Book For the first time, John Ciardi's translations of Dante's three soaring canticles have been gathered together in a single volume. Book Synopsis The authoritative translations of The Inferno, The Purgatorio, and The Paradiso--together in one volume. Belonging in the immortal company of the great works of literature, Dante Alighieri's poetic masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, is a moving human drama, an unforgettable visionary journey through the infinite torment of Hell, up the arduous slopes of Purgatory, and on to the glorious realm of Paradise--the sphere of universal harmony and eternal salvation. Now, for the first time, John Ciardi's brilliant and authoritative translations of Dante's three soaring canticles--The Inferno, The Purgatorio, and The Paradiso--have been gathered together in a single volume. Crystallizing the power and beauty inherent in the great poet's immortal conception of the aspiring soul, The Divine Comedy is a dazzling work of sublime truth and mystical intensity. Review Quotes "Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them--there is no third."--T.S. Eliot "Ciardi has given us...a credible, passionate persona of the poet, stripped of the customary gauds of rhetoric and false decoration, strong and noble in utterance."--Dudley Fitts "A sensitive and perceptive translation...a spectacular achievement."--Archibald MacLeish "I think [Ciardi's] version of Dante will be in many respects the best we have seen."--John Crowe Ransom About the Author Dante Alighieri was born in 1265. Considered Italy's greatest poet, this scion of a Florentine family mastered the art of lyric poetry at an early age. He is the author of the three canticles, The Inferno, The Purgatorio, and The Paradiso. Politically active in Florence, he was banished to Italy in 1302. In 1274, he met the great love of his life, Beatrice, whom he immortalized in La Vita Nuova (1292) and The Divine Comedy. He died in 1321.

Prescription Comedy - by Pranathi Kondapaneni (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 106Genre: MedicalSub-Genre: PhysiciansFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Ingenium BooksAge Range: AdultAuthor: Pranathi KondapaneniLanguage: English Book Synopsis The secret to healing from physician burnout, re-connecting with loved ones and rediscovering daily joy resides in an unlikely place: the comedy club. In Prescription Comedy, author Dr. Pranathi Kondapaneni shares her personal journey with on-the-job burnout and how an almost accidental foray into the world of comedy proved key to her cure. What you'll discover: Why so many physicians succumb to burnout and suffer a loss of faith as they toil under the weight of a medical system that doesn't value connection Where the true value of comedy truly lies: in cultivating a connection with the audience that extends far beyond making them laughHow Dr. Kondapaneni's personal quest to improve the physician-patient communication bond led her to discover and explore comedy Simple lessons that can help you defeat physician burnout"In sharing my journey, I aim to help fellow physicians who feel downtrodden, disenfranchised, and disenchanted by the weight of this medical system," says Dr. Kondapaneni. "Unless one has walked in the shoes of a shattered physician, it's hard to understand the swamp which can swallow a physician whole." This book was written for physicians, who are often seen as lucky to have a stable, well-paying career. They ultimately carry the burden of treating our most precious resource: health. Couple this responsibility with a broken healthcare system, and physicians face a hefty load indeed. The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.-Mark Twain

Paradise - (Divine Comedy) by Dante (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 544Genre: PoetrySub-Genre: Ancient & ClassicalSeries Title: Divine ComedyFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Modern LibraryAge Range: AdultAuthor: DanteLanguage: English Book Synopsis "If there is any justice in the world of books, [Esolen's] will be the standard Dante . . . for some time to come."-Robert Royal, Crisis In this, the concluding volume of The Divine Comedy, Dante ascends from the devastation of the Inferno and the trials of Purgatory. Led by his beloved Beatrice, he enters Paradise, to profess his faith, hope, and love before the Heavenly court. Completed shortly before his death, Paradise is the volume that perhaps best expresses Dante's spiritual philosophy about resurrection, redemption, and the nature of divinity. It also affords modern-day readers a clear window into late medieval perceptions about faith. A bilingual text, classic illustrations by Gustave Doré, an appendix that reproduces Dante's key sources, and other features make this the definitive edition of Dante's ultimate masterwork. About the Author Anthony Esolen is a professor of English at Providence College. He is the author of Peppers, a book of poetry, and his translations include Lucretius's De rerum natura and Torquato Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata, along with Dante's Inferno and Purgatory, published by the Modern Library. Dante Alighieri was born in Florence in 1256. He entered public life in 1295, later becoming one of the six governing magistrates of Florence. He repeatedly opposed the machinations of Pope Boniface VIII, who was attempting to place all of Tuscany under Papal rule, and in 1301 was banished from Florence. Dante would never again enter his native city, spending his remaining years with a series of patrons in various Italian courts. He completed The Divine Comedy shortly before his death in 1321. Gustave Doré (1832-83) was one of the most popular and prolific French illustrators of the mid 19th century.
