La obra de Dante es una bisagra entre el pensamiento medieval y el moderno; en sus reflexiones políticas confluyen elementos escolásticos y también una crítica que refleja el movimiento renacentista de manera embrionaria. En este libro, distintos autores de disciplinas muy diversas, de diferentes naciones y edades, han plasmado su visión sobre algunos aspectos del autor y de su obra. No bastaría una biblioteca para contener las ideas que surgen de la lectura de la obra de Dante. Pero quizás sí una palabra que la propia Divina Comedia nos ofrece: trasumanar, transhumanar, superar los límites de lo humano en un sentido muy lejano al mundo cotidiano, y sin embargo, convergente con él. El viaje, su viaje, es hacia Dios, pero también hacia un hombre futuro. El hombre que será, de sí mismo, autor y obra, y que construirá dolorosamente en el exilio, encadenando tercetos que serán imágenes. Imágenes de la más pura humanidad, que incorporarán paso a paso oscuridad primero, y luego luz, hasta hacerse incandescente. Hasta ser epifanías. Por eso, el hombre Dante es poeta, lo sabe con absoluta seguridad en lo más íntimo de su ser. Lo sabe cuando mira hacia atrás y ve lo que ha escrito, quizás muy poco aún. Lo sabe cuando mira hacia adelante y entrevé, en una lejanía, lo que escribirá. Acaba de ser expulsado de su ciudad y, junto con su familia, emprende el amargo camino del exilio político. Año tras año, mientras come el pan de la hospitalidad, asoma una obra plena de dolor y redención, su dolor y su redención, que este hombre poeta supo hacer universales. Su muerte, un 14 de septiembre de 1321, apenas un año después de culminar su poema mayor, no fue silencio, sino el comienzo de una voz plena de universalidad. Una universalidad viva, hoy. La eternidad como futuro. O bien la eternidad del futuro. Siempre habrá un camino. Pero cada época y cada hombre de cada época deberá ser consciente de esa construcción siempre pendiente. Y por tanto, siempre promesa viva.

The Nightbirds are Simta's best-kept secret: Girls with a unique and powerful magic they can gift with just a kiss. Some would kill to possess them; the church would kill them outright. But protected by the Great Houses, the Nightbirds are well-guarded treasures. As this Season's Nightbirds, Matilde, Æsa, and Sayer will spend their nights bestowing their gifts to well-paying clients. Once their season is through, they're each expected to marry a Great House lord and become mothers to the next generation of Nightbirds before their powers fade away. But as they find themselves at the heart of a political scheme that threatens not only their secrets, but their very lives, their future suddenly becomes uncertain. When they discover that there are other girls like them and that their magic is far more than they were told, they see the Nightbird system for what it is: a gilded cage. Now they must make a choice--to remain kept birds or take control, remaking the city that dared to clip their wings.

Long ago, the world was destroyed by gods. Only nine cities were spared. Separated by vast wilderness teeming with monsters and unimaginable dangers, each city is now ruled by a guardian--royalty who feed on mortal pleasure. Born with an intuition that never fails, Calista knows her talents are of great value to the power-hungry of the world, so she lives hidden as a courtesan of the Baron of Archwood. In exchange for his protection, she grants him information. When her intuition leads her to save a traveling prince in dire trouble, the voice inside her blazes with warning--and promise. Today he'll bring her joy. One day he'll be her doom. When the Baron takes an interest in the traveling prince and the prince takes an interest in Calista, she becomes the prince's temporary companion. But the city simmers with rebellion, and with knights and monsters at her city gates and a hungry prince in her bed, intuition may not be enough to keep her safe. Calista must choose: follow her intuition to safety or follow her heart to her downfall.

"When Evelyn Dasher crossed paths with Luc, she was thrown headfirst into the world of the Lux only to discover that she was already far more involved in their world than she ever suspected. Because the Luxen aren't the only ones with a hidden past. There's a gap in Evie's memory, lost months of her life and a lingering sense that something happened, something she can't remember and nobody is willing to tell her. She needs to find out the truth about who she is, and who she was. But every answer she finds only brings up more questions. Her search for the truth brings her ever closer to Luc, the Origin at the center of it all. He's powerful, arrogant, inhumanly beautiful, extremely dangerous... and possibly in love with her. But even as Evie falls for him, she can't help but wonder if his attraction is to her, or to the memory of a girl who no longer exists. And all the while, a new threat looms: reports of a flu-like, fatal virus that the government insists is being spread by Luxen. A horrifying illness that changes whoever it touches, spreading panic across a country already at its breaking point."--Provided by publisher.

"So many stories begin the same way: With a prophecy. A chosen one. And the inevitable quest to slay a villain, save the kingdom, and fulfill a grand destiny. But this is not that kind of story. It does begin with a prophecy: A child will rise to defeat the Eternal Khan, a cruel immortal god-king, and save the kingdom. And that prophecy did anoint a hero, Jian, raised since birth in luxury and splendor, and celebrated before he has won a single battle."--

It might seem like he's the perfect candidate for their romantic fantasies, but the truth is that Wes has only proven to be a real nuisance since they were kids.

Together, they dive headfirst into a vipers' nest of dark magic, exposing a deadly secret with the power to awaken ghosts of the past and shatter her last hope of saving her brother....
