"¿Qué es esto? ¿Es alegría? ¿Es dolor? Es alegría y es dolor, es amor y es pecado, es tierra y es infierno, es la amargura del amor que tiene como dote el infierno, es la voluptuosidad del infierno que tiene por morada el amor, es un sentimiento complejo, inexpresable palabra, es la contradicción, es el corazón en sus misterios, es paraíso e infierno, es ángel y demonio: es el hombre."

Cento canti di altissima poesia: la Divina Commedia è considerata il primo testo della letteratura italiana. L'opera immortale del nostro sommo poeta è qui presentata in un'edizione che riproduce il testo critico secondo l'ultima vulgata stabilita da Giorgio Petrocchi. Il primo a definire "Divina" la Commedia di Dante fu Boccaccio; il titolo Divina Commedia risulta per la prima volta in una edizione del 1555. Il senso del viaggio dantesco nell'oltretomba può essere rintracciato nella discussa Epistola a Cangrande della Scala - al quale l'autore dedica il Paradiso: Dante spiega di aver voluto mostrare agli uomini che l'unico modo per elevarsi dalla loro condizione di peccatori e per conquistare verita e salvezza è affidarsi al retto uso della ragione. Un viaggio allegorico attraverso cui il poeta, e con lui l'umanita tutta, riesce ad abbandonare "la selva oscura" della propria miseria per rendersi degno di attingere al divino.

Dante Alighieris "Divine Comedy, Carys Translation, Hell" represents an extraordinary fusion of poetic form and profound philosophical inquiry. Written in the early 14th century, this epic poem employs a terza rima structure that evokes both lyrical beauty and structural rigor, guiding readers through the harrowing realms of Hell. Each canto unveils a complex moral landscape, illustrating Dantes intricate allegory of sin and redemption as he encounters historical and mythological figures, challenging conventional medieval thought and laying the groundwork for Renaissance humanism. Dante, a Florentine poet and philosopher, drew upon his personal experiences of exile and his deep-seated concerns regarding morality and divine justice. His integration of classical knowledge with Christian theology reflects the socio-political upheaval of his time, making "Divine Comedy" not just a literary masterpiece but a commentary on the human condition. The intense imagery and rich symbolism resonate with his quest for understanding the human souls journey toward God. This translation by Cary captures the essence of Dantes vision, making it accessible to contemporary readers without losing the poems thematic depth. Recommended for scholars and enthusiasts alike, this edition invites readers to explore the intricate interplay of faith, justice, and personal transformation in a world that continues to grapple with these timeless issues.
