Books by Dante Alighieri

I denne udgave af Dantes Guddommelig Komedie, er de rimende versefødder bevaret - senere oversættelser er gjort i prosa, idet man har ment, at det på denne måde ville blive mere forståeligt. Det kan diskuteres - men indrømmes skal det, at det kræver sin mand/kvinde, at få hold på dette værk. Det anbefales, at læse indledningen (hvis man har tålmodighed), og i øvrigt er det jo sådan idag, at nettet er lige ved hånden, hvis man skulle være i tvivl om noget, - og så er der jo en særegen charme over disse rimede vers.

Translated by H. F. Cary With an introduction by Claire Honess.Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is one of the most important and innovative figures of the European Middle Ages. Writing his Comedy (the epithet Divine was added by later admirers) in exile from his native Florence, he aimed to address a world gone astray both morally and politically. At the same time, he sought to push back the restrictive rules which traditionally governed writing in the Italian vernacular, to produce a radically new and all-encompassing work.The Comedy tells of the journey of a character who is at one and the same time both Dante himself and Everyman through the three realms of the Christian afterlife: Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. He presents a vision of the afterlife which is strikingly original in its conception, with a complex architecture and a coherent structure. On this journey Dante's protagonist - and his reader - meet characters who are variously noble, grotesque, beguiling, fearful, ridiculous, admirable, horrific and tender, and through them he is shown the consequences of sin, repentance and virtue, as he learns to avoid Hell and, through cleansing in Purgatory, to taste the joys of Heaven.

Dante's masterpiece of literature is well matched by the peerless art of Gustave Dore. Dante and his guides, Virgil and Beatrice, journey through the cantos in an allegory of the passage of the soul through the Afterlife, with the subtle engraving of Dore's illustrations perfectly complementing the movement from darkness through to light.

The Divine Comedy (1320) is a narrative poem by Dante Alighieri. Begun in 1308 while Dante was exiled from his native Florence, The Divine Comedy-a long poem divided into three books of 33 cantos each-presents the author's spiritual journey from sinfulness and despair to salvation and self-understanding. Written in the Tuscan vernacular, the poem was influential in establishing a standardized Italian language.In the first book, Inferno, Dante is led by the Roman poet Virgil into Hell. There, he comes to terms with his own sinfulness while observing the horrors and tortures suffered by those condemned to eternity in its circles. Along the way, Dante encounters historical figures, acquaintances, and other individuals whose violence, fraud, treachery, and betrayal led their spirits to terrible suffering. This technique, which incorporates dialogue with detailed description, is used throughout The Divine Comedy to provide context on historical, theological, and political subjects while simultaneously situating the poet as narrator and interlocutor in his own work. In this way, the physical and spiritual journey portrayed in the poem becomes a journey for Dante himself, a way of transcending the despair he describes at its beginning. In Purgatorio, Dante follows Virgil on an ascent of the Mountain of Purgatory, where he encounters the souls of sinners who must atone for their actions in life before entering Heaven. Leaving Virgil behind, Dante, in Paradiso, follows a divine Beatrice through the celestial spheres of Heaven. As he approaches God and his own salvation, changed by a newfound sense of "the Love which moves the sun and the other stars," Dante ascends to the heights of world literature, uniting the created soul and the artist's creation as no other poet has done before or since.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Dopo la morte dell'amata (e idealizzata) Beatrice, Dante ripercorre la propria vita a partire dal loro primo incontro, quando sia lei che lui avevano solo nove anni. Bastò allora un dolce saluto per scatenare in Dante un amore travolgente. Il poeta decise però di nascondere i propri sentimenti raccontando agli amici di essersi invaghito di altre due ragazze. La bugia scatenò la gelosia di Beatrice che, per ripicca, decise di non rivolgergli mai più la parola. Opera drammatica e profondamente romantica, la 'Vita nuova' rappresenta forse il pinnacolo letterario più alto del concetto di "amor cortese". Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) è stato un poeta e scrittore, unanimemente considerato uno dei padri della letteratura italiana. Originario di Firenze, trascorse alcuni anni in esilio a causa delle sue idee politiche. Fu proprio durante l'esilio che scrisse il suo capolavoro, 'La Divina Commedia'.

Il 'Convivio' fu concepito come un'opera in lingua volgare per avvicinare le persone non colte o ricche a temi propri della filosofia quali la cosmologia, la politica e la metafisica. Il libro avrebbe dovuto raccogliere 15 trattati ma alla fine Dante ne porto a termine solo quattro poiche preferi dedicarsi interamente alla stesura della 'Divina Commedia'.-

A new translation of Dante's Purgatorio that celebrates the human elements of the second part of The Divine Comedy. This is a bilingual edition with an illuminating introduction from the translator. Winner of the American Literary Translators Association 2022 National Translation Award in Poetry.Purgatorio, the middle section of Dante’s great poem about losing, and subsequently finding, one’s way in the middle of one’s life is, unsurprisingly, the beating heart of The Divine Comedy, as this powerful and lucid new translation by the poet D. M. Black makes wonderfully clear. After days spent plumbing the depths of hell, the pilgrim staggers back to the clear light of day in a state of shock, the sense of pervasive dread and deep bewilderment with which he began his pilgrimage as intensified as it is alleviated by his terminal vision of evil. The slow and initially arduous climb up the mount of Purgatory that ensues, guided as always by Virgil, his poetic model and mentor, is simultaneously a reckoning with human limits and a rediscovery of human potential in the light of divine promise. Dante’s Purgatorio, which has been an inspiration to poets as varied as Shelley and T. S. Eliot, is a book full of human stories and philosophical inquiry; it is also a tale of individual reintegration and healing. Black, a distinguished psychoanalyst as well as a poet, provides an introduction and commentary to this masterpiece by Dante from a contemporary point of view in this bilingual edition.

Ne "La Divina Commedia", seguiamo l'io narrante, che può essere visto come Dante stesso, in un viaggio attraverso le varie fasi dell'aldilà: Inferno, Purgatorio e Paradiso. Questo poema epico del XIV secolo è una delle opere letterarie più importanti al mondo. È pieno di simbolismo numerico e cristiano e mostra la percezione comune del mondo, dell'universo e in particolare di Dio e della fede. Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) fu un poeta, scrittore e filosofo morale italiano, originario di Firenze. Trascorse alcuni anni in esilio, a causa del suo coinvolgimento politico e della sua scrittura impegnata, nella quale egli sostenne fortemente, tra le altre cose, una rigida separazione tra Chiesa e Stato. Fu durante questo esilio che scrisse il suo capolavoro, "La Divina Commedia".

Runoilija kohtaa matkallaan kohti Jumalaa useita kuuluisia pyhimyksia, ja Paratiisi onkin runoelman osista kaikkein keskittynein teologiseen pohdiskeluun. Danten Jumalainen naytelma on yksi maailmankirjallisuuden kuuluisimpia teoksia, jonka vaikutus on kantanut vuosisatojen lapi.
