"Alberto Martini sembrava nato per illustrare la Divina Commedia. Difficile immaginare un testo nel quale realta e fantasia, visioni e trasfigurazioni fossero piu corrispondenti alla sua ispirazione. Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso sono l''equivalente letterario della poetica visionaria di Martini, uno dei tanti illustratori di Dante da Botticelli a Zuccari, da William Blake a Dore. Dante e Martini si muovono nella dimensione del sogno. La citta di Oderzo, ritornando a onorare Martini in questa occasione, ha richiamato l''attenzione sul difficile rapporto con Dante, tema di riflessione dell''artista per circa un quarantennio. Il corpus di disegni, litografie, acqueforti acquisito dalla Fondazione Oderzo Cultura e conservato presso la Pinacoteca, consente di ricostruire i diversi momenti dell''elaborazione creativa di Martini. Prima di questa pubblicazione, in tempi moderni, il rapporto di Martini con Dante era stato indagato in occasione della mostra della casa di Dante in Abruzzo a Torre de'' Passeri, e piu recentemente nel 2004, proprio nella Pinacoteca civica di Oderzo. Ora questo volume illustra compiutamente l''importanza psicologica e intelletuale, prima che estetica, di Dante per Martini." (Dalla prefazione di Vittorio Sgarbi) Comienzo pagina

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.

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.
