Book Description
Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy has, despite its enormous popularity and importance, often stymied readers with its multitudinous characters, references, and themes. But until the publication in 2007 of Guy Raffa’s guide to the Inferno, students lacked a suitable resource to help them navigate Dante’s underworld. With this new guide to the entire Divine Comedy, Raffa provides readers—experts in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Dante neophytes, and everyone in between—with a map of the entire poem, from the lowest circle of Hell to the highest sphere of Paradise. Based on Raffa’s original research and his many years of teaching the poem to undergraduates, The CompleteDanteworlds charts a simultaneously geographical and textual journey, canto by canto, region by region, adhering closely to the path taken by Dante himself through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. This invaluable reference also features study questions, illustrations of the realms, and regional summaries. Interpreting Dante’s poem and his sources, Raffa fashions detailed entries on each character encountered as well as on many significant historical, religious, and cultural allusions.

Book Description
"In this new translation of its first canticle, Hell, the precise meaning of the original is allowed to come across without recourse to literalness or loss of poetic feel. In addition, the novel use of tetrameters ensures the lively rhythms of the original are captured better than by using the more traditional blank verse. Similar novelty may be found in the redesign of forty-two of Gustave Doré’s original engravings to convey a striking vision of a stark, bleak and desolate Hell; there are also two new maps of both Hell and Dante’s universe. With nearly a hundred pages of notes to help the reader who is unfamiliar with Dante and his world, this is a translation that can be readily understood by anyone ..." publisher's blurb.

Book Description
I wanted to title this book “Russia and Ukraine. Nothing is as it seems" because of this crisis which involves two Eastern European territories so much tormented and threatened, you will never have a clear and truthful picture, especially by the mainstream media. In truth, in addition to the “official narrative” and compliant with the single thought to which the mainstream has always accustomed us, it is there something in the history of these two territories involved in the crisis that escapes even to large networks. The key to everything is the story. Few know that current Ukraine was the ancient kingdom of Khazaria, because the history of the people Kazaro was deliberately erased from the news so that it would not appear in any history textbook. And there's a reason. From the Khazar people descends the Zionism which, even from a genetic point of view, has nothing to do with lineage Jewish native of Palestine. The Zionists have become the “rulers of the world” through methods that are questionable to say the least. They are the masters of finance world, and political and media power belongs to them pharmaceutical and military. Zionists are the architects of the most unbridled globalism of which the Great Reset or Great Reset is the most hateful expression and controversial. They are behind the most repressive and cruel ideologies in history: communism, Bolshevism, Nazism etc… But in this historical context increasingly tumultuous world a part of the global axis of power has become through the diabolical plan implemented by the Zionists and cherished for centuries. The hatred of the West that orbits and serves American interests has identified an enemy: Russia.
