Dancers On Stage Making Of A Chorus Line Musical
1,198 wordsOn May 21, 1975, a spectacular new Broadway musical opened.

Divine Comedy Southern Hemisphere
417 wordsIn his lecture, Professor Mark Dantmore says that Purgatorio is "almost science fiction" to people of the time it was written. I find it very interesting that a book in the Divine Comedy, something the Catholics take as truth, might be described this way. Of course Purgatorio is a book largely dealing with Christian themes, but the actual setup was meticulously constructed to agree with scientific knowledge of the time. In fact, it was demonstrated in the lecture that the descriptions of the pos...

Aspect Of The Inferno Hell
649 wordsIn Dantes vision of hell, fairness is, essentially, the entire point. It seems in this divine vision, hell is a heaven of exquisite fairness.
