Descriere magazin:
Dante and Shakespeare divide the modern world between them. There is no third. - T. S. EliotDante\'s poem is, for many, the greatest single work of Western literature. - Ian Thompson.I love my Dante as much as the Bible. He is my spiritual food, the rest is ballast. - James Joyce.In the middle of our life\'s journey, I found myself in a dark wood/Bewildered, and I knew I had lost the way: so opens Dante\'s Divine Comedy, the best book literature has achieved as Jorge Luis Borges writes.The poem, a journey through hell, purgatory, and paradise, the most original and audacious treatment of the afterlife in Western literature dazzles with its vivid and inventive storytelling and imagery. However, it contains much more than poetry and theology; it displays Dante\'s wide and comprehensive learning, and his deep understanding of contemporary politics and society. All life is contained in the poem, for Dante\'s was an all-encompassing imagination, that interwove classical philosophy with Catholic doctrine and contemporary politics, (Ian Thompson).The one hundred cantos of The Divine Comedy--Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso--follow Dante, as, guided by the epic poet, Virgil, he travels through the nine descending circles of a freezing Hell, until he meets Satan trapped at the bottom. Clambering over Satan himself, Dante climbs Mount Purgatorio where he is reunited with his lost love Beatrice, whom he had fallen in love with when they were both nine years old. Now guided by Beatrice, who represents divine revelation, he ascends to Paradiso, a world beyond space and time.The Divine Comedy was written over a period of twenty years towards the end of Dante\'s life. It was appreciated as a masterpiece soon after its completion, and it has captivated readers and the Western imagination ever since.The Inferno is the most widely translated book after the Bible. This edition is translated by the celebrated poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Dante Alighieri, (1265-1321) was an Italian poet, prose writer, literary critic, philosopher, and political thinker and adviser. He is regarded as the greatest Italian writer. As one of the very earliest forerunners of the Renaissance, predating Chaucer, he set the stage for the explosion of creativity that was to follow. Dante is best known for The Divine Comedy, which remains the greatest work of Italian literature.
