Originally published in 1923, this book contains an edition of John Donne's Devotions, which were first printed in 1624. Donne wrote these passionate and 'unadorned' meditations during a severe sickness that he feared was life-threatening, and the text consequently provides an intimate portrait of Donne that is lacking from many of his other writings. A brief biography of Donne and a bibliographical note are also provided. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the life and spirituality of John Donne or in his contributions to seventeenth-century religious thought.

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment.John Donne (1572-1631) is one of the great English metaphysical poets and religious preachers. Love, religion and death are characteristic themes of his work, and his memorable eloquence. In Spain, two volumes have just been published that recall his teaching and his great influence throughout these four centuries. This is the first full edition of Devotions and Mourning for Death, the latter being the sermon he gave to the king two months before he died and considered his anticipated funeral sermon. This edition includes a preface by Carlos Zanón, a prologue by Andrew Motion and an appendix with The Life of John Donne, by Izaak Walton, with the translation by Jaime Collyer. The second book is his Erotic Poems, a compilation of his most earthy and delicate sensibility and sensuality. Both works are published by Navona Editoral.

In addition to the writer's 1624 collection of meditations, debates with God, and prayers on the human condition-particularly earthly physical sickness and health-this volume contains the 1631 work "Death's Duel," a sermon said to be his own funeral oration, which he preached shortly before his own death. Readers of 17th-century literature, religious devotionals, and ponderers of human mortality are sure to find something profound in this fascinating, famous work. British metaphysical poet JOHN DONNE (1572-1631), renowned for his satires on English society, wrote this prose work in the latter part of his life, after he became an Anglican priest.

This book presents Done's reflection on the physical and spiritual life of the person or the relation between the body and soul. Although written in the 1620s, when Donne was already in his fifties, the book radiates an uncanny sense of the modern era. For example, in one chapter, the author talks of how diet and exercise are keys to a healthy life! The other one is dedicated to patience and tolerance for others as vital virtues. Thus a book is interesting both in terms of historical reference and for philosophical research.
