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.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER V. BEATRICE. Italian commentators on the Vita Nuova are numerous, but by no means in agreement as to the intention of the author with respect to the character of Beatrice in the narrative. They agree that the Vita Nuova is a necessary preparation for the study of the Divine Comedy. They do not agree in the rendering of what Dante calls the rubric, Incipit Vita Nova, some translating it, "Here begins the new or regenerate" others the "youthful or early life of the poet." They do not agree as to the nature of the narrative, whether it is a real history of persons and events, or whether it is a fiction or allegory, and as such the parent or suggester of the romances which afterwards appeared in various parts of Europe. The elder Rossetti adopted the opinion of some of his predecessors, that Beatrice is an imaginary character, that the Vita Nuova is a treatise on Love, purely intellectual, in the form of an allegory; that Wisdom in its most extended sense, personified under the name of Beatrice, was the object of Dante's love; that by Love he meant Study, in the same way as he confesses he used it in the Convito, where he imagines Philosophy "in fashion like a gentle Lady, nor could I fancy her otherwise than piteous, whereupon so truly did I gaze upon her with ordinary eyes, that scarcely could I turn myself away.... In short time I began so much to feel her sweetness that her love chased away and destroyed all other thoughts in me." In the Vita he also remarks that his love withdrew his thoughts from all meaner things, an idea which is repeated in the second canto of the Inferno: --O Beatrice, why Dost thou not succour him who loved thee so That he, for thee, the vulgar herd did fly? The theory that I am now advocating explains that...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy is a classic of Italian literature reimagined for modern readers.
