Inferno: Italian-English Parallel Text
Dante@kayus04333640 @bigsooty57 I must confess I don't remember anything in Eliot about people going round in circles. There's a reference in The Waste Land to Dante's Inferno ("I had not thought death had undone do many") but there's no reference there to going round in circles. Am I misremembering?

The Ambassadors
Henry JamesAnyone who thinks Henry James humourless should glance at the opening line of his preface to the 1909 edition of “The Ambassadors”: “Nothing is more easy than to state the subject of ‘The Ambassadors’ …” Yeah … right …

The Sacred Fount: Novel
Henry JamesCertainly not my perception. For me, the “golden age” of the novel is from 1849/50 (Wuthering Heights, Moby-Dick, Scarlet Letter) to 1902/4 (last 3 Henry James novels). There are masterpieces from before & after of course, but most of the novels I love best are from this era. https://t.co/aiicPHEj5f

The Dead
James Joyce@joero3 Thank you for that. I’ve seen both these films countless times, and it’s time well spent. John Huston had an uneven career as director, but he started with a masterpiece (The Maltese Falcon), and ended with another - a film adaptation of James Joyce’s short story The Dead.

About John Ford...
Lindsay Anderson@ChrisHale23 @MarkValencia I feel much the same way. The Searchers is impressive in many ways, but I think Lindsay Anderson’s critique of it (in “About John Ford”) is pretty spot on. My Darling Clementine & Wagonmaster, on the other hand…

The Little Demon
Fyodor Sologub@ianpacemain PS Another great early modernist Russian novel that I think is a must-read is “The Little Demon” by Fyodor Sologub. This was written in the 1890s, and is - shall we say - a bit strange. But compelling nonetheless. https://t.co/gJIzD0FJpT
