Dante on a beach in China beholds the Inferno: \"Flaring well gas night and day, \/ towers rise as if to say, \/ Pollution can be beautiful.\" Bach's final fugue informs all of nature. Villon is admonished by an aging courtesan. Aristotle finds \"Demagogues are the insects of politics. \/ Like water beetles they stay afloat \/ on surface tension, they taxi on iridescence.\" And his afterlife: \"When three-headed Cerberus greeted him \/ Socrates replied: I won't need \/ an attack dog, thank you. I married one.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 10, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770931446048,"sku":"9781597090414","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/125f9bd960ab269026915d85c9e39008_b2dace34-f64b-45eb-95bc-00542a86b753.webp?v=1780381025","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/dante-in-china-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
