"La Divina Comedia", del maestro Dante Alighieri, es el comienzo de la literatura italiana y la obra más significativa de la Edad Media porque su alegoría enfatiza la importancia de la salvación y el amor divino en una obra inclusiva y estrechamente estructurada. Esta tan profundamente impregnada de la etica cristiana que todo el argumento y los diferentes temas que toca estan relacionados con ella, comenzando con la trama que se establece durante la semana de Pascua de 1300.La obra es una narrativa compleja con muchas alusiones a historias biblicas, mitos clasicos, historia y politica contemporanea por lo que es recomendable siempre leer una edicion comentada o tener a mano un buen analisis de la obra. Por otro lado, el simbolismo de la trama celebra el ideal del universalismo, donde todo tiene su lugar en el mundo de Dios, y su meta final de salvacion triunfa sobre la realidad contemporanea de la lucha de poder entre lideres mundanos y religiosos.En este poema epico, el Alter Ego de Dante, el Peregrino, viaja a traves del infierno y el purgatorio para alcanzar el cielo. Su viaje pretende impresionar a los lectores acerca de las consecuencias del pecado y la gloria del cielo.

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.
