Dante: Convivio - Dante Alighieri - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Dante: Convivio - Dante Alighieri - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Dante''s Convivio, composed in exile between 1304 and 1307, is a series of self-commentaries on three of Dante''s long poems. These allegorical love poems and philosophical verse become the basis for philosophical, literary, moral, and political exposition. The prose is written in Italian so that those who were not educated in Latin could take part in what Dante called his ''banquet of knowledge''. In this edition, eminent Dante translator-scholar Andrew Frisardi offers the first fully annotated translation of the work into English, with an extensive introduction, making Dante''s often complex writings accessible to scholars and students. The parallel Italian text is also included for the first time in an English translation of the Convivio. Readers of this work can gain a strong understanding of the philosophical themes across Dante''s work, including the Divine Comedy, as well as the logic, politics and science of his time.

Inferno - Dante - Bog - Benediction Classics - Plusbog.dk

Inferno - Dante - Bog - Benediction Classics - Plusbog.dk

" Dante and Shakespeare divide the modern world between them. There is no third." - T. S. Eliot "Dante''s poem is, for many, the greatest single work of Western literature." - Ian Thompson. "I love my Dante as much as the Bible. He is my spiritual food, the rest is ballast." - James Joyce. In the middle of our life''s journey, I found myself in a dark wood/Bewildered, and I knew I had lost the way : so opens Dante''s Divine Comedy , "the best book literature has achieved" as Jorge Luis Borges writes. Dante''s Inferno , one of the greatest works of European literature, and "the most original and audacious treatment of the afterlife in Western literature" dazzles with its vivid and inventive storytelling and imagery. However, it contains much more than poetry and theology; it displays Dante''s wide and comprehensive learning, and his deep understanding of contemporary politics and society. "All life is contained in the poem, for Dante''s was an all-encompassing imagination, that interwove classical philosophy with Catholic doctrine and contemporary politics," (Ian Thompson). The thirty-three cantos of Inferno follow Dante, as, guided by the epic poet, Virgil, he travels through the nine descending circles of a freezing Hell, until he meets Satan trapped at the bottom. The Inferno is the most gripping and engaging book of The Divine Comedy , as Dante meets those damned for forbidden love, and all manner of human vices. (The damned, amusingly, include many of Dante''s enemies!) Inferno is the logical conclusion of all that is worst in human life. It is bearable only because Dante eventually emerges. The Divine Comedy was written over a period of twenty years towards the end of Dante''s life. It was appreciated as a masterpiece soon after its completion, and it has captivated both readers and the Western imagination ever since. The Inferno is the most widely translated book after the Bible. This edition is translated by the celebrated poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow . Dante Alighieri, (1265-1321) was an Italian poet, prose writer, literary critic, philosopher, and political thinker and adviser. He is regarded as the greatest Italian writer. As one of the earliest forerunners of the Renaissance, predating Chaucer, he set the stage for the explosion of creativity that was to follow. Dante is best known for The Divine Comedy, which remains the greatest work of Italian literature.

Dante, Cinema, and Television - - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Dante, Cinema, and Television - - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is one of the seminal works of western literature. Its impact on modern culture has been enormous, nourishing a plethora of twentieth century authors from Joyce and Borges to Kenzaburo Oe. Although Dante''s influence in the literary sphere is well documented, very little has been written on his equally determining role in the evolution of the visual media unique to our times, namely, cinema and television. Dante, Cinema, and Television corrects this oversight. The essays, from a broad range of disciplines, cover the influence of the Divine Comedy from cinema''s silent era on through to the era of sound and the advent of television, as well as its impact on specific directors, actors, and episodes, on national/regional cinema and television, and on genres. They also consider the different modes of appropriation by cinema and television. Dante, Cinema, and Television demonstrates the many subtle ways in which Dante''s Divine Comedy has been given ''new life'' by cinema and television, and underscores the tremendous extent of Dante''s staying power in the modern world.

Dante Satiro - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Dante Satiro - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This collection of essays is the first comprehensive study on Dante and satire within his entire corpus that has been published. Its title evokes the moment when Virgil leads Dante through Limbo, the uppermost portion of Hell. There, they are joined by four classical poets, and Virgil describes one of them as “Horace the satirist” (“Orazio satiro,” 4:89). By applying the expression to Dante himself, this volume seeks to explore the satirical elements in his works. Although Dante is not typically described as a satirist, anyone familiar with his works will recognize the strong satirical element in his many writings. Ultimately, this study shows that Dante engages in satire in order to attain the primary literary tool at his disposal for his prophetic objectives: the castigation of vice.

Phantom Pains and Prosthetic Narratives - Alastair Minnis - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Phantom Pains and Prosthetic Narratives - Alastair Minnis - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

''Phantom limb pain'' designates the sensations which seem to emanate from limbs that in reality are missing. The phrase was coined by the American Civil War surgeon, Weir Mitchell, in reference to his fictional amputee, George Dedlow. Contemporary neuroscience holds that the brain encloses a schema which covers the whole body, and asserts its unity even if certain parts are missing. Reading backwards from Dedlow''s sufferings, Alastair Minnis traces the medieval precedents and parallels, focusing on Augustine and Dante, who subscribed to the notion of a ''body in the soul''. Dante''s souls in purgatory self-prosthesize with aerial phantoms as they long for the full embodiment which only the resurrection can bring. Is a complete body necessary for personhood? And how can the gamut of human feelings be run if parts or the entirety of one''s body does not exist? Combining medieval studies and contemporary neuroscience, this absorbing study explores the fascinating and surprising history of phantom pain.

The Inferno of Dante - Dante - Bog - Farrar, Straus and Giroux - Plusbog.dk

The Inferno of Dante - Dante - Bog - Farrar, Straus and Giroux - Plusbog.dk

This widely praised version of Dante''s masterpiece, which won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award of the Academy of American Poets, is more idiomatic and approachable than its many predecessors.

The result is a clear and vigorous translation that is also unique, student-friendly, and faithful to the original: "A brilliant success," as Bernard Knox wrote in The New York Review of Books .

Understanding Dante - John A. Scott - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

Firmly grounded in the latest advances of Dante scholarship, Understanding Dante offers an original and uniquely detailed, global analysis of Dante as poet of the Comedy that will be welcomed by those who read the poem in translation as well as by those who study the original Italian text. At the same time, Scott’s book will be welcome for its rich and insightful analysis of the whole corpus of Dante’s writings, as well as Scott’s mastery of the vast sea of critical literature in various languages. Scott bridges the gap that often exists between Dante studies in English-speaking countries and the great tradition of Dante scholarship in the poet’s homeland. No work in English about the great Italian poet can rival Understanding Dante ’s scope in both depth and breadth of close reading and critical vision.

In addition, Kirkpatrick takes due account of the historical and philosophical dimensions of the poem.
