Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dante's Divine Comedy is widely considered to be one of the most significant works of literature ever written. It is renowned not only for its ability to make truths known but also for its power to make them loved. It captures centuries of thought on sin, love, community, moral living, God's work in history, and God's ineffable beauty.

This accessible introduction to Dante, which also serves as a primer to the Divine Comedy, helps readers better appreciate and understand Dante's spiritual masterpiece. Jason Baxter, an expert on Dante, covers all the basic themes of the Divine Comedy, such as sin, redemption, virtue, and vice. The book contains a general introduction to Dante and a specific introduction to each canticle (Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso), making it especially well suited for classroom and homeschool use.
Download or read book Dante s Divine Comedy written by Seymour Chwast and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "left-handed designer," Seymour Chwast has been putting his unparalleled take-and influence-on the world of illustration and design for the last half century. In his version of Dante's Divine Comedy, Chwast's first graphic novel, Dante and his guide Virgil don fedoras and wander through noir-ish realms of Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, finding both the wicked and the wondrous on their way. Dante Alighieri wrote his epic poem The Divine Comedy from 1308 to 1321 while in exile from his native Florence. In the work's three parts (Inferno, Purgatory, and Paradise), Dante chronicles his travels throughthe afterlife, cataloging a multitude of sinners and saints-many of them real people to whom Dante tellingly assigned either horrible punishment or indescribable pleasure-and eventually meeting both God and Lucifer face-to-face. In his adaptation of this skewering satire, Chwast creates a visual fantasia that fascinates on every page: From the multifarious torments of the Inferno to the host of delights in Paradise, his inventive illustrations capture the delirious complexity of this classic of the Western canon.

Book excerpt: Dante Alighieri was early in recognizing that our age has a problem. His hometown, Florence, was at the epicenter of the move from the medieval world to the modern. He realized that awareness of divine reality was shifting, and that if it were lost, dire consequences would follow. The Divine Comedy was born in a time of troubling transition, which is why it still speaks today. Dante's masterpiece presents a cosmic vision of reality, which he invites his readers to traverse with him. In this narrative retelling and guide, from the gates of hell, up the mountain of purgatory, to the empyrean of paradise, Mark Vernon offers a vivid introduction and interpretation of a book that, 700 years on, continues to open minds and change lives.

Mark Musa's powerful and sensitive translation preserves the intricacy of the work while rendering it in clear, rhythmic English. His extensive notes and introductions to each canto make accessible to all readers the diverse and often abstruse ingredients of Dante's unparalleled vision of the Absolute: elements of Ptolemaic astronomy, medieval astrology and science, theological dogma, and the poet's own personal experiences.

Book excerpt: Described variously as the greatest poem of the European Middle Ages and, because of the author's evangelical purpose, as the 'Fifth Gospel', Dante conceived The Divine Comedy as a new epic of Christianity in which he creates a universe in which reason and faith transform moral and social chaos into order. Examining questions of faith, desire and enlightenment, and furnished with semi-autobiographical details, Dante's poem is a brilliantly nuanced and emotionally moving allegory of human redemption, it examines human nature in an extreme way, it's a very detailed and structured recount of the journey of the moral character, who at one the same time is both the author and his reader, through the three realms of the Christian afterlife, containing the most emotionally moving lines literature has ever achieved. In the present edition Henry Boyd's brilliant and authoritative translations of Dante's three books or canticles, The Inferno, The Purgatorio and The Paradiso and Henry Longfellow's widely-acclaimed and masterful blank verse translation of The Divine Comedy, tracing the author's journey from Hell through Purgatory to Paradise, have been gathered together and published for the first time in a single volume, that aims to strike the perfect balance of tightness of translation to the original and colloquialism, and that is likely to be the best modern version of Dante, uniting poetry and scholarship in the very body of the translation, a deeply-informed and structured version of Dante's work, that is a pleasure to read. This volume contains all three parts of Dante's great poem about the journey of the author's soul in a recent, contemporary English translation with the complete collection of the rich historical, medieval illustrations by Priamo della Quercia, Giovanni di Paolo, the maps from the works by Bernardino Daniello da Lucca and the full-page illustrations, commissioned by Alessandro Vellutello, constituting a truly complete edition of one of the world's greatest literary masterworks, that should prove to be accessible to everyone and is definitely the ideal edition for both literary scholars and readers, that only just became acquainted with this great masterpiece of literature and for the first time gain access to Dante's universe. The present academic, non-commercial edition merges Henry Boyd's and Henry Longfellow's translations into a brilliantly new, comprehensive edition and contains the complete collection of historical, medieval illustrations in color.

Book excerpt: When you want to read in both Italian and English, though, there's a great option: bilingual books! Reading bilingual books and inferring the vocabulary and grammar is a far superior method of language learning than traditional memorization. It is also much less painful. The Divine Comedy (Italian: Divina Commedia) is a long narrative poem by Dante Alighieri, begun c. 1308 and completed in 1320, a year before his death in 1321. It is widely considered to be the preeminent work in Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature. The poem's imaginative vision of the afterlife is representative of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church by the 14th century. It helped establish the Tuscan language, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language. It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. Durante degli Alighieri, commonly known as Dante Alighieri or simply Dante (1265 - 1321), was a major Italian poet of the Late Middle Ages. His Divine Comedy, originally called Comedìa (modern Italian: Commedia) and later christened Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio, is widely considered the most important poem of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language.
