Translated by H. F. Cary With an introduction by Claire Honess. Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is one of the most important and innovative figures of the European Middle Ages. Writing his Comedy (the epithet Divine was added by later admirers) in exile from his native Florence, he aimed to address a world gone astray both morally and politically. At the same time, he sought to push back the restrictive rules which traditionally governed writing in the Italian vernacular, to produce a radically new and all-encompassing work. The Comedy tells of the journey of a character who is at one and the same time both Dante himself and Everyman through the three realms of the Christian afterlife: Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. He presents a vision of the afterlife which is strikingly original in its conception, with a complex architecture and a coherent structure. On this journey Dante's protagonist - and his reader - meet characters who are variously noble, grotesque, beguiling, fearful, ridiculous, admirable, horrific and tender, and through them he is shown the consequences of sin, repentance and virtue, as he learns to avoid Hell and, through cleansing in Purgatory, to taste the joys of Heaven.

Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso -- the three fates of the deceased become the three pillars of an epic poem. The Divine Comedy, written by Italian poet Dante Alighieri in the fourteenth century, is considered the foremost work in Italian literature. The journey begins with Dante's descent into the depths of Hell where he witnesses those eternally separated from God. Then he climbs the mountain of Purgatory where Christian souls undergo final purification, before finally touring the celestial circles of Heaven where he is filled with the image of God. An allegorical work, the comedy is representative of the soul's journey towards God. Influential for seven centuries, this classic is a must have for lovers of great literature, and the luxurious leather-bound edition from Canterbury Classics will make a stunning addition to any library.

Dantova Božská komedie (Commedia - přívlastek "Božská" v názvu připojil až později Boccaccio) je jedním ze základních literárních děl světové historie, které po celá staletí dodnes inspiruje mnohé umělce a pro každého, kdo se nechá vést uhrančivým rytmem nekonečné řady tercín, zůstává zdrojem úchvatného čtenářského dobrodružství. Dantova cesta záhrobní říší je především symbolickým obrazem lidského života, hledání pravé cesty, a naléhavost úkolu pracovat na zhodnocení vlastního života pociťuje člověk dnes stejně jako ve středověku i kdykoliv jindy v historii. Danta, který podle vlastních slov na prahu věku zralosti zabloudil, provází na cestě peklem a očistcem římský básník Vergilius, na prahu ráje se pak básníkovou průvodkyní stává milovaná Beatrice, ztělesnění ideální, absolutní lásky. Nemůže tomu být jinak, vždyť láska je nejvyšší hodnotou. Božská komedie byla v českém literárním prostředí známá už od doby Karla IV. Od 19. století, kdy se utvářela novodobá česká literatura, se pak stala výzvou pro nejlepší české překladatele (Jaroslava Vrchlického, O. F. Bablera a další), nejnověji se k nim připojil Vladimír Mikeš, jehož překlad vychází nyní ve druhém vydání.

When the young salesman Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning transformed into a monstrous insect, his shock and incomprehension are coupled with the panic of being late for work and having to reveal his appearance to family and colleagues. Although over the following weeks he gradually becomes used to this new existence confined within the bounds of the apartment, and his parents and sister adapt to living with a grotesque bug, Gregor notices that their attitudes towards him are changing and he feels increasingly alienated. One of the masterpieces of twentieth-century world literature, ‘The Metamorphosis' is accompanied in this volume by a selection of other classic tales and sketches by Kafka - such as ‘The Judgement', ‘In the Penal Colony' and ‘A Country Doctor' - all presented in a lively and meticulous new translation by Christopher Moncrieff.

That Sweet Enemy brings both British wit (Robert Tombs is a British historian) and French panache (Isabelle Tombs is a French historian) to bear on three centuries of the history of Britain and France. From Waterloo to Chirac's slandering of British cooking, the authors chart this cross-channel entanglement and the unparalleled breadth of cultural, economic, and political influence it has wrought on both sides, illuminating the complex and sometimes contradictory aspects of this relationship--rivalry, enmity, and misapprehension mixed with envy, admiration, and genuine affection--and the myriad ways it has shaped the modern world. Written with wit and elegance, and illustrated with delightful images and cartoons from both sides of the Channel, That Sweet Enemy is a unique and immensely enjoyable history, destined to become a classic.
