Dante is known to most readers outside Italy for his gritty descriptions of the Inferno, but there is another, gentler side to his poetry, which found expression throughout his career in verses that made him, together with his friend Guido Cavalcanti, the leading love poet of his generation.From the ballads and rime of his youth to the heart-rending lyrics written on the death of Beatrice and the more sober, philosophical canzoni of his later years, this volume provides the only English edition of the great Florentines complete love poems, in brilliant verse translations by Dante specialists J.G. Nichols and Anthony Mortimer.
Accanto alla poesia altissima e senza tempo della Divina Commedia e stata riunita in questo volume lintera produzione dantesca, dalla Vita Nuova (1292-93), lintimo memoriale in rime e prosa poetica dellamore di Dante per Beatrice, alle Rime, mai raccolte da Dante in un corpus unitario; dal Convivio, scritto in volgare tra il 1304 e il 1307 per rendere accessibili anche al pubblico piu vasto temi scientifici e filosofici, al trattato latino De vulgari eloquentia; dal Monarchia, trattato politico in tre libri, alle due Egloghe latine composte tra il 1319 e il 1320, fino alle tredici Epistole latine, scritte tra il 1304 e il 1319, e alla Quaestio de acqua et de terra, tesi filosofica letta a Verona nel 1320.
Monumento de la cultura latina y occidental, La divina comedia es un tesoro literario. A casi siete siglos de su publicación, sigue siendo un texto que despierta asombro y admiración, que cautiva a nuevos lectores y que mantiene vivo el debate entre los especialistas en torno a su origen e influencias, y tambien respecto del legado que representa. No hay obra mayor desde los clasicos griegos, y quizas el Infierno, el Purgatorio y el Paraiso concebidos por Dante Alighieri sean tambien superior a ellos.
Obra cumbre de Dante en la que a través del Infierno, el Purgatorio y el Paraíso narra la inmensidad de los males que han afligido desde siempre a la humanidad en un mundo sin justicia y sin paz.
