Dante Alighieri, página 6 de 26

The Vita Nuova, with its unusual blend of prose and poetry, is universally recognized as Dantes early masterpiece and provides an indispensable prequel to The Divine Comedy. Set in thirteenth-century Florence, part autobiography and part religious allegory, it traces Dantes quest to find a poetic idiom worthy of Beatrice whom he had loved since boyhood. Her premature death plunges him into an emotional turmoil that finds release only through his faith in her continuing spiritual influence and through his determination to write of her what has never been written of any woman. The Vita Nuova remains a central document in European cultures examination of love and the self. It is exactly one hundred and fifty years since Dante Gabriel Rossettis groundbreaking version of the Vita Nuova. Now Anthony Mortimer, already acclaimed as translator of Cavalcanti, Petrarch and Michelangelo, produces a verse translation that avoids Rossettis disturbing archaisms but preserves a lyric immediacy worthy of the original. This is a Vita Nuova for the twenty-first century.

A collection of Dante Alighieri's "Canzoniere" that charts his poetic evolution and displays the ground on which his "Vita Nova" and "Divine Comedy" developed. This collection of Dante Alighieri's "Canzoniere", translated for the first time in its entirety into English, charts his poetic evolution and displays the ground on which his "Vita Nova" and "Divine Comedy" developed.Inspired in his early poems by troubadour love poetry, Dante would later come to master all the genres of the time, such as the canzone, the sonnet and the ballad. At the same time deeply personal - dealing with themes of love, death and exile - and imbued with the poetic and political context of the period, "Dante's Rime", presented in dual Italian and English text and rendered by prize-winning translators Anthony Mortimer and J.G. Nichols, offers a fascinating glimpse into the imagination of arguably the greatest writer of all time.

Dante Alighieri (1235-1321) representa el fin de la época Medieval y el inicio del Renacimiento. Su obra principal, La Divina Comedia, se compone de tres partes; El Infierno, El Purgatorio y El Paraíso.En esta obra maestra que forma parte de la historia de la Humanidad podemos encontrar algunos de los mas importantes e interesantes problemas filosoficos que no solo preocuparon a Dante sino que tambien preocupan al hombre de hoy; la diferencia entre la naturaleza humana y divina, la paz en el mundo, la separacion de los poderes temporales y espirituales, la vida social del hombre, que habita o mora en lo mas profundo de su corazon, etc.Dante, ademas de abrirnos las puertas del Renacimiento, nos ha dejado algunos de los simbolos mas bellos que han pasado a formar parte de nuestra cultura occidental, por ejemplo, que el leon es el simbolo de la soberbia y la ambicion, la pantera es el simbolo de la lujuria y la loba lo es de la avaricia.La presente traduccion fue realizada por Arturo Cuyas de la Vega y es, sin duda, una de las mejores traducciones que hoy dispones en castellano.

This is the extended edition including an extensive primer on the authors life and works, as well as a detailed essay about the history of the Longfellow translation.The "Divina Commedia" is an allegory of human life, in the form of a vision of the world beyond the grave, written avowedly with the object of converting a corrupt society to righteousness: "to remove those living in this life from the state of misery, and lead them to the state of felicity". It is composed of a hundred cantos, written in the measure known as terza rima, with its normally hendecasyllabic lines and closely linked rhymes, which Dante so modified from the popular poetry of his day that it may be regarded as his own invention. He is relating, nearly twenty years after the event, a vision which was granted to him (for his own salvation when leading a sinful life) during the year of jubilee, 1300, in which for seven days (beginning on the morning of Good Friday) he passed through hell, purgatory, and paradise, spoke with the souls in each realm, and heard what the Providence of God had in store for himself and to world.

Dos palabras sobre la máxima obra del sommo poeta, ofrecidas por quien, aun no siendo in literato, ama Dante a su tiempo y a su poesía. Libre, entonces, de atajos y pretensiones académicas, propone su traducción e interpretación de la Comedia, considerada la escasez de versiones en nuestro idioma, fieles al espíritu original del poema y, en muchos casos, al sentido del texto italiano. El propósito es el de rendir, clara, a un amplio público, la lectura y la comprensión de esta obra, una de las más traducidas y conocidas en el mundo entero. La magia de los números es repetida en la Divina Comedia que se compone de tres (número mágico) Cánticas: Infierno, Purgatorio y Paraíso, por un total de cien cantos (cuadrado de diez). El infierno se compone de 34 cantos, pero el primero es un prólogo a toda la obra. Excluyendo este prólogo, todas las tres Cánticas se componen de 33 cantos (nueve repetido dos veces).

n the third and final part of The Divine Comedy, Dante recounts his journey through heaven, after the travails and torments of Hell and the arduous ascent of Mount Purgatory, creating a cosmology of the highest realm of creation which is astonishing in its complexity. In Dante's imagining, Paradise is formed out of concentric spheres surrounding the Earth, beginning with the Moon and ending with the Empyrean. Dante must traverse these ethereal regions guided by his beloved Beatrice, as a means of attaining wisdom, revelation and beatitude.Containing some of Dante's finest poetry, Paradise is an enduring vision of grace and a powerful allegory for the struggle for redemption. This dual-text edition completes J.G. Nichols's masterful verse translation of The Divine Comedy.
