Download or read book Vita Nuova written by Dante Alighieri and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sparkling translation that gives new life in English to Dante’s Vita Nuova, his transcendent love poems and influential statement on the art and power of poetry, and the most widely read of his works after the Inferno A Penguin Classic Dante was only nine years old when he first met young Beatrice in Florence. Loving her for the rest of his life with a devotion undiminished by even her untimely death, he would dedicate himself to transfiguring her, through poetry, into something far more than a muse—she would become the very proof of love as transcendent spiritual power, and the adoration of her a radiant path into a “new life.” Censored by the Church, written in the Tuscan vernacular rather than Latin, exploding the courtly love tradition of the medieval troubadours, and employing an unprecedented hybrid form to link the thirty-one poems with prose commentary, Vita Nuova, first published in 1294, represents both an innovation in the literature of love and the work of Dante’s that brings this extraordinary poet into clearest view. This limpid new translation, based on the latest authoritative Italian edition and featuring the Italian on facing pages, captures the ineffable quality of a work that has inspired the likes of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Charles Baudelaire, T. S. Eliot, Jorge Luis Borges, Robert Penn Warren, and Louise Glück, and sustains the long afterlife of a masterpiece that is itself a key to the ultimate poetic journey into the afterlife, The Divine Comedy. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Download or read book La Vita Nuova written by Dante Dante Alighieri and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Vita Nuova (1292–94) has many aspects. Dante’s libello, or “little book,” is most obviously a book about love. In a sequence of thirty-one poems, the author recounts his love of Beatrice from his first sight of her (when he was nine and she eight), through unrequited love and chance encounters, to his profound grief sixteen years later at her sudden and unexpected death. Linked with Dante’s verse are commentaries on the individual poems—their form and meaning—as well as the events and feelings from which they originate. Through these commentaries the poet comes to see romantic love as the first step in a spiritual journey that leads to salvation and the capacity for divine love. He aims to reside with Beatrice among the stars. David Slavitt gives us a readable and appealing translation of one of the early, defining masterpieces of European literature, animating its verse and prose with a fluid, lively, and engaging idiom and rhythm. His translation makes this first major book of Dante’s stand out as a powerful work of art in its own regard, independent of its “junior” status to La Commedia. In an Introduction, Seth Lerer considers Dante as a poet of civic life. “Beatrice,” he reminds us, “lives as much on city streets and open congregations as she does in bedroom fantasies and dreams.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from La Vita Nuova Dante-scholars are agreed that, as an introduction to the Divine Commedz'a, the study of the Vita Nuova is of supreme importance; but their interpretations show wide divergence. In the present edition, - believed to be the first published in America in the original text with annotations, - questions concerning the purpose of the book, its possible hidden meaning, and its relation to Dante's other works, are touched upon; but the editor has not attempted to present all the arguments on disputed points. In giving his own conclusions, sometimes dogmatically, sometimes tentatively, he emphasizes the autobiographical character of the Vita N uova, - that is to say, its literal meaning. Whether or not there is symbolism and allegory in addition to the obvious idealization, to proceed to the hidden meaning without first comprehending the literal meaning would be, as Dante declares in the Convim'o, irrational. The Notes are necessarily voluminous, since the text needs considerable elucidation for modern readers; but the Vocabu lary, in the preparation of which valuable assistance was given by Aimee L. Mckenzie, usually obviates the necessity for translation in the Notes. Sincere thanks are due to Dr. Alex ander Green for the great care with which he has seen the book through the press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vita Nuova, or New Life of Dante Alighieri: Translated From the Italian by Frances De Mey II. Nine times already, since my birth, the starry heaven of light had returned almost to the self-same point on its revolution, when first appeared to my eyes the glorious lady of my mind, she was by many called Beatrice, not knowing wherefore she was so called. She had been so long in this life, that in her time the starry heavens had moved towards the orient one of the twelfth parts of a degree, so that almost at the beginning of her ninth year she appeared to me, and I beheld her almost at the end of my ninth year. And she appeared to me clad in a most noble colour, a subdued and pure crimson, girded and adorned in a manner befitting her extreme youth. At that moment I say truly that the spirit of life, which dwelleth in the most secret chamber of the heart, began to tremble so violently, that it was painfully perceptible in the smallest pulses; and trembling it spake these words: "Behold a god stronger than I, who coming, shall rule over me." At that moment the animal spirit, that inhabits the high chamber where the sensitive spirits have their perceptions, began to marvel greatly, and speaking more especially to the spirits of the eyes, he said these words: "Your beatitude hath now been manifested to you."

Download or read book La Vita Nuova Vita Nova The New Life written by Dante Alighieri and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-08-27 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Vita Nuova - in English The New Life - is a poem by Dante Alighieri which expresses the virtues of Medieval courtship and love. First published in 1295 during the dawn of the Italian Renaissance period, this work discusses the praiseworthy aspects of courtship which first appeared during the Medieval era. Dante was a great admirer of this practice, feeling that the tradition elevated both love and courteous behaviour in a manner befitting an experience of such emotive depth. Dante first authored this book during his own association with Beatrice Portinari, a paramour who was to symbolise human love for the artist in both life and death. La Vita Nuova is distinct from other, later works by Dante in that it was authored in his native Italian, rather than the Latin he employed in The Divine Comedy and other works.
