A very professional production. Thank you .

I just started reading my first DuMaurier novel, The Scapegoat, today. I figured I'd read 34 pages--one tenth the length of the book. I've already reached page 78, and I know I can't pick it up again till tomorrow: if I do, I'll read through the night. Completely mesmerizing.

I'm sorry, but you show great chauvinism by stating "religion and art do not mix". Are you seriously stating that christianity had not produced works of art? I guess the Hagia Sophia, Notre Dame, the mosaics in Ravenna and Santa Maria Maiore, Fray Angelico, Giotto, Rublev and many many others do not qualify as art in your irrational standards.

As a traveler who has visited Florence, Rome, Athens, Jerusalem. . . even Shanghaii, Chungdu and Beijing, I greatly appreciate your studious perception and sensitivity to time itself and the influences therein. Thank you! Keep up the good work.

WELL DONE SIR!!!

But for the curse of Christianity we'd be on Mars by now.

Wonderful and beautiful

C.S. Lewis was, more than any living person, responsible for my conversion to Christianity. If you have not, please read Mere Christianity - IMO it was Lewis who was responsible for modern Christian apologetics. God bless C S Lewis

I picked up some new details on Dante's life, particularly the time and social circumstances into which he was born and grew up, and that was the most interesting part for me. It was difficult to follow the quotes from the book out of context. As always, Malcolm Hossick was an excellent narrator. And he apparently writes and directs these documentaries. My favorite line was his explanation for the appeal of polytheism: "When things go wrong, there's always another god to blame." Thanks, Paul. Edit: I admire Hossick's characterization of the disgraceful power politics of the Catholic Church, too, and the offhand, dismissive way in which he delivers it, as if the Church and its history were beneath contempt.

Love ,love and the love so more, is the divine answer to any question, ever posed.

It's only later on in life that I've come to the realization of just how destructive usury is. There isn't a country in the world that isn't negatively affe Ted from usury, debt, compound interest excessive loans, etc. It ought to be banned outright. Imagine the suffering that would be alleviated versus the few who'd have to find honest work.

The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crisis maintain their neutrality.- Dante

In sorry that you did not give credit to the Muslims in Spain who translated the Greek masterworks into Arabic and then were translated into Latin. It was a key factor in giving birth to the Renaissance. 1:19:13

Grow up

Plagium writer.Rececca was the exact copy of A Sucessora by Carolina Nabuco. Carolina had sent London her book in Portuguese for translation. The only answer she had was Dapne's plagium

Very informative. Thanks.

I never shared her beliefs. So unique and bizarrely dark I found her. To short a life.

There is no "American male mystique".

Oscar Wilde has been my favorite author since college.

Narrator and simple presumptions

Mr. Ginsburg is a Buddhist, and who feels that atheism is something one must be warned of? Or birth for that matter.

A time of the assassins: a study of arthur rimbaud (henry miller) introduced me to his work- highly recommend.

T S Eliot is probably 'the' worst poet in all human history. His poems are fucking shite, he's pretentious and he makes his poems so cryptic and vague, that no one can understand them; thereby, making himself look like some genius. He's the poet equivalent of modern art.

There is no year zero. The year after 1 BC is 1 AD.

Awesome thanks for sharing this, love his books as well. 📚🤓

1 hour 14 mins WITH NO ADVERTS !!! 👍🤔 ("Green Fire", geoff nelson hill, IngramSpark & bookshops )🌈🦉

Catholicism has been the ruination of so many lives.

Okay overview of Fitzgerald, not the best. They got his birth date wrong and Zelda’s last name was Sayre, not Sale. Fitzgerald is absolutely worth reading. His writing is like champagne versus the beer of everybody else. Beautiful ringing crystal versus dull glass. I read a lot, especially classic literature, and Fitzgerald’s prose is absolutely the best. Glorious. If angels could write they would write like Fitzgerald.

Stunning choice of music. Wonderful production.

41:31 say her name: Jane Morris

Thanks. I enjoyed your talk on Dante. ❤🎉

Why read Faulkner????

Nice doco. But I think that recording of his voice is a forgery.

Happy Bloomsday! 🎉🎉🎉

The music makes it almost intolerable. Too bad.

Thank you 🙏 🇮🇹 🥰

I like Bran Down novels.

❤❤❤

Anyone who mentions a Dan Brown "novel," PLEASE LEAVE. 🤨

I'm just reading Les Miserables and was curious to know more about the author. Thank you so much. ❤🙏🏻

As a parent, the Curious George episode called "Bask of the Houndervilles" I can highly recommend.😂

Great

Thanks. Can you upload Hossick's documentary on Dante if you can get it?

Thank you for this documentary!

Has the narrator's hand been glued to the mantle?

Respect!

Thank you for making this documentary.

Not really about Raymond Chandler but adds context to his legacy.....

They were 2 intelligent adults who knew the cost of having TEN kids. Why choose knowingly to live the rest of 12 peoples lives in abject poverty? Senseless. Narrator attributes his knowing about sex as if all guys dont at that age. Granted he is an acknowledged writer but at college I could not make heads or tales of his books. All I got was frustrated.

Ball Zac, turned it off immediately after hearing that.
