Dante - Alessandro Barbero - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Dante - Alessandro Barbero - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

"A vital guide ... It is difficult to imagine anyone seriously interested in Dante who will not want to own this book" AN Wilson, The TimesSince Dante Alighieri wrote the Divine Comedy it has defined how people imagine and depict not only heaven and hell, but romantic love and the human condition. However, while Dante''s works are widely celebrated outside Italy, the circumstances of his extraordinary life are less well known. Born in 1265, Dante''s adolescence was characterised by literary genius, but his political activism in one of the medieval world''s wealthiest cities led to his death in exile. Pre-eminent Dante scholar Alessandro Barbero and celebrated translator Allan Cameron bring the poet vividly to life. Animating the political intrigue, violence, civil war, exile and cities that shaped Dante''s poetic and political life, this is a remarkable portrait of one of the creators of European literature and a towering medieval figure in time for the 700th anniversary of his death.

Purgatory - Dante Dante - Bog - Random House USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

Purgatory - Dante Dante - Bog - Random House USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

A new translation by Anthony Esolen Illustrations by Gustave Doré Written in the fourteenth century by Italian poet and philosopher Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy is arguably the greatest epic poem of all time—presenting Dante’s brilliant vision of the three realms of Christian afterlife: Inferno, Purgatory, and Paradise . In this second and perhaps most imaginative part of his masterwork, Dante struggles up the terraces of Mount Purgatory, still guided by Virgil, in a continuation of his difficult ascent to purity. Anthony Esolen’s acclaimed translation of Inferno, Princeton professor James Richardson said, “follows Dante through all his spectacular range, commanding where he is commanding, wrestling, as he does, with the density and darkness in language and in the soul. It is living writing.” This edition of Purgatory includes an appendix of key sources and extensive endnotes—an invaluable guide for both general readers and students.

Inferno - Dante - Bog - Random House USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

"As poetry, Mr. Zappulla''s English Dante is successful--. The power of Dante''s descriptive poetry should be apparent, and that is perhaps the highest compliment one can pay a translator."-- Washington Times In this new rendition of a timeless classic, Italian scholar Elio Zappulla captures the majesty and enduring power of the Inferno , the first of the three canticles of Dante''s The Divine Comedy , unarguably one of the masterpieces of world literature. Rendering Dante''s terza rima into lyrical blank verse, Zappulla''s translation makes accessible to the modern reader the journey of the famed Florentine poet Dante through the nine circles of hell. With Virgil at his side, the great poet descends through horrific landscapes of the damned--dark forests, boiling muck, and burning plains filled with unspeakable punishment, lamentation, and terror--depicted with gruesome detail unmatched in all literature. Richly annotated, this translation takes even the first-time reader on a truth-seeking journey whose imaginative and psychological discoveries make clear why this work persists at the heart of Western culture."If Dante''s Inferno is a cautionary tale of the history of human depravity, it is also an amazingly complex narrative, treating timeless ethical themes, medieval philosophy and religion, tendentious political issues and deeply personal events."-- San Diego Union-Tribune

Guided by the poet Virgil, Dante plunges to the very depths of Hell and embarks on his arduous journey towards God.

Dante in Love - A. N. Wilson - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

With a biographer''s eye for detail and a novelist''s comprehension of the creative process, A. N. Wilson paints a masterful portrait of Dante Alighieri and unlocks one of the seminal works of literature for a new generation of readers. In Dante in Love , A. N. Wilson presents a glittering study of an artist and his world, arguing that without an understanding of medieval Florence, it is impossible to comprehend the meaning of Dante''s great poem. He explains how the Italian States were at that time locked into violent feuds, mirrored in the ferocious competition between the Holy Roman Empire and the papacy. He explores Dante''s preoccupations with classical mythology, numerology and the great Christian philosophers which inform every line of the Comedy . Dante in Love also lays bare the enigma of the man who never wrote about the mother of his children, yet immortalized the mysterious Beatrice, whom he barely knew.

The New Life - Dante Alighieri - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

The New Life - Dante Alighieri - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

The New Life (1294) is a work of verse and prose by Italian poet Dante Alighieri. Composed in the prosimetrum style, The New Life explores the popular medieval theme of courtly love. Made up of alternating commentaries, sonnets, and canzoni, the work is an essential expression of Dante’s poetic gift, and a foundational work for the dolce stil novo literary movement to which Dante was a central figure. Written in the Tuscan vernacular, the poem was influential in establishing a standardized Italian language. Compiled and published following the death of Beatrice Portinari, whom Dante loved from the age of nine when he saw her on the streets of Florence, The New Life translates his personal grief into a moving and universally recognizable work on the nature of love. Dante, who believed that romantic love could lead to a development of the soul, subsequently bringing one to the love of God—a concept central to The Divine Comedy —divided his work into prose commentaries and poems in verse, a popular style known as prosimetrum . Despite this debt to tradition, however, Dante wrote The New Life in the Tuscan vernacular as opposed to Latin, making his work more accessible to readers. Autobiographical in nature, The New Life portrays Dante coming to terms with his grief, praising the deceased Beatrice, and turning friends and acquaintances into figures populating his poems. From sorrow to salvation, Dante finds the light of God through the darkness of death, testifying to the transformative power of love while proving beyond any doubt the power of a transformative poetry. This edition of Dante Alighieri’s The New Life is a classic of Italian literature reimagined for modern readers. Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Inferno - Dante - Bog - Random House USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

Inferno - Dante - Bog - Random House USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

An extraordinary new verse translation of Dante’s masterpiece, by poet, scholar, and lauded translator Anthony Esolen Of the great poets, Dante is one of the most elusive and therefore one of the most difficult to adequately render into English verse. In the Inferno , Dante not only judges sin but strives to understand it so that the reader can as well. With this major new translation, Anthony Esolen has succeeded brilliantly in marrying sense with sound, poetry with meaning, capturing both the poem’s line-by-line vigor and its allegorically and philosophically exacting structure, yielding an Inferno that will be as popular with general readers as with teachers and students. For, as Dante insists, without a trace of sentimentality or intellectual compromise, even Hell is a work of divine art.Esolen also provides a critical Introduction and endnotes, plus appendices containing Dante’s most important sources—from Virgil to Saint Thomas Aquinas and other Catholic theologians—that deftly illuminate the religious universe the poet inhabited.

Inferno - Dante Alighieri - Bog - Union Square & Co. - Plusbog.dk

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here” read the now-famous words above the gate through which Dante, the protagonist of Inferno , crosses the threshold. But that forbidding inscription applies only to those without faith; and though Dante's journey through the nine circles of Hell begins with terror and confusion, it ends with an understanding of the divine plan and the realization of divine love. Along the way, Dante meets an array of sinners from Christian and classical history and legend--a fascinating cast of characters that has intrigued and instructed readers since Inferno was first published in 1317.

The Inferno - Dante Alighieri - Bog - Wordsworth Editions Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Inferno - Dante Alighieri - Bog - Wordsworth Editions Ltd - Plusbog.dk

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 the story of the journey of a character who is at one and the same time both Dante himself and Everyman. In the Inferno , Dante''s protagonist - and his reader - is presented with a graphic vision of the dreadful consequences of sin, and encounters an all-too-human array of noble, grotesque, beguiling, ridiculous and horrific characters.

Dante om poesi og sprog - Dante Dante Alighieri - Bog - Syddansk Universitetsforlag - Plusbog.dk

Dante om poesi og sprog - Dante Dante Alighieri - Bog - Syddansk Universitetsforlag - Plusbog.dk

Dantes poetik »Om veltalenhed på folkesproget« fra 1305 er et glødende forsvar for et velklingende og formfuldendt italiensk der skal erstatte latinen som fællessprog. Traktaten er en vision om et italiensk der overgår latinen i skønhed og ligefrem kan erstatte det paradisiske sprog. Digterne skal skabe et sprog der opvejer det tab, der blev resultatet af syndefaldet og byggeriet af Babelstårnet. Dante vurderer en række samtidige digtere, og dermed er værket både en første litteraturhistorie og en filosofisk poetik. Værket blev ikke afsluttet, men er en vigtig forudsætning for »Den guddommelige Komedie« som han skrev 10 år senere. Desuden præsenteres her en oversættelse af Dantes 13. brev hvor han dedicerer den sidste del af »Komedien« til sin mæcen Cangrande della Scala. Brevet er en af middelalderens vigtigste tekster om allegori og allegorese.
