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 - Random House USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

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

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

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.

Reading Dante - Jesper Hede - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Reading Dante - Jesper Hede - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Reading Dante: The Pursuit of Meaning examines the problem of determining the thematic unity of Dante''s Divina Commedia in the history of Dante studies. The question of unity has puzzled Dante readers for centuries, due to an apparent discrepancy between Dante''s construction of the afterworld and medieval Christian teachings on the conditions of the afterlife. If all sins condemned in Hell can be forgiven, we would expect to see them purged in Purgatory and their virtuous opposite celebrated in Paradise. In Dante''s account, however, the three realms of the afterlife appear as self-contained entities with only partially related structures that undermine the establishment of thematic correspondences and the determination of the poem''s thematic unity. Was Dante inconsistent in his exposition of the divine order, or have Dante scholars been inconsistent in their treatment of the poem''s thematic content? Jesper Hede examines the prevalent strategies of reading applied by Dante scholars in their attempt to solve the problem of unity. Detailing the major contributions to the resolution of the problem and focusing on medieval philosophy and modern hermeneutics, Hede argues that a systematic parallel reading of the poem''s three parts reveals that it is the vision of divine order that gives the poem its thematic unity.

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.

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. Each and every Mint Edition title gets a fresh, professionally typeset manuscript and a dazzling new cover, all while maintaining the integrity of the original book.

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.

Joyce's Dante - James Robinson - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Joyce's Dante - James Robinson - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Joyce''s engagement with Dante is a crucial component of all of his work. This title reconsiders the responses to Dante in Joyce''s work from A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man to Finnegans Wake. It presents that encounter as an historically complex and contextually determined interaction reflecting the contested development of Dante''s reputation, readership and textuality throughout the nineteenth century. This process produced a ''Dante with a difference'', a uniquely creative and unorthodox construction of the poet which informed Joyce''s lifelong engagement with such works as the Vita Nuova and the Commedia. Tracing the movement through Joyce''s writing on exile as a mode of alienation and charting his growing interest in ideas of community, Joyce''s Dante shows how awareness of his changing reading of Dante can alter our understanding of one of the Irish writer''s lasting thematic preoccupations.

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.
