Book Description
"You see! This is how you die." - Coco Chanel "Shoot straight, you bastards! Don't make a mess of it!" - Breaker Morant "If any of you have a message for the devil, give it to me, for I am about to meet him!" - Lavinia Fisher "I am dying. Please... bring me a toothpick. " - Alfred Jarry Funny, reflective, scornful or delirious, we are fascinated by famous last words because, humanity in extremis, they seem to tell us something about ourselves. Featuring lovers, killers, artists, traitors, spies, rulers, poets and pariahs, this thoughtful volume brings together the hedonists and the fatalists, the pragmatists and the optimists in a collection of famous last utterances - and the stories behind them - from throughout history.

Book Description
'The God of Love' is a romance novel by the author, historian and member of the UK house of commons, Justin Huntley McCarthy. It is set in the city of Florence. Lappenterius and Dante are two young men in the city hoping to be lucky in love though at first Dante seems uninterested in the matter. But after he sees an apparition of the god of love, he encounters the fair Monna Beatrice Portinari, who is his childhood friend. Dante is smitten and pursues her. But this does not sit well with Messer Simone dei Bardi, Beatrice's fiancé and a fierce soldier of no mean repute.
