Just jianging around

Wagwan mi breda

the sound is mainly just too low, otherwise its okay

Piero e Francesca are in love. 90% plus of marriages in those times were arranged and mostly against the wish of the women. So Francesca feel love for the first time and goes with it. It obviously is adultery and adultery was punished with death, but only for the women. Dante is so taken by their story and their tragic end that he feels so overwhelmed by it that he loses his senses, he pass over. " Caddi come corpo morto cade". " I fell like a dead body fall". I immagine that like to Dante it feels their fate is so wrong that he can't cope with it. With the renaissance was born the new style. ( Il nuovo stile). It meant that marriages had to respect the feelings of the the two persons, not an arrangement of the parents. Romeo and Giulietta Is the Classic story that mark the New Style, il Nuovo Stile. I immagine Piero e Francesca in Heaven celebrating their love.

Hi Professor Jiang, the long-form videos and lesser quality is a great filter for knowing the amount of audience truly want to learn and not being here for the entertainment values. I want you to know even though the number of views and positive comments have dropped there are many of us who benefit greatly from these lectures.

Augustus Caesar not the only notable absence

I am here for co-discovery. Just finished an audiobook about Divine Comedy by Dante(offcource not the original) after knowing this series is going on. The reason I did a quick run through with an audiobook so i can get a deep summary. Now I am going to follow along from first video again.

I don’t think people grasp how significant this is. I am so grateful to be here thank you prof jiang

Can we get a recap on your previous U.S Iran war predictions please? 😊
