Dante's Journey 1: An Infernal Bestiary
ISBN: 9781470129033 / Angielski / Miękka / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The year is 1300 and Dante Aligheri is lost in a dark wood with no plan, not even a clue.

The road is long and hard and we are lucky to have Fr. Woods with us on the road, to lead us as Virgil leads Dante,...

Even Odds
ISBN: 9781507512098 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is both a play and a continuous poem. It is a tragedy with only two visible characters in its entirety.

The orphaned pair's dialogue unfolds the age old tale of belittled feminism and the over-hyped masculinity of the world that habitually swallows up all the laudable efforts of the women folk. The story emerges from their fast paced rhythmic exchanges within a small portion of a single day. Shrouded therein is the...
