Bøger af Dante Alighieri

This edition prints all three parts of Dante's great poem about the journey of the soul - INFERNO, PURGATORIO and PARADISO - in the recent English translation by Allen Mandelbaum, with an introduction and explanatory notes on each canto by the noted Dante scholar, Peter Armour.

Dante's masterpiece of literature is well matched by the peerless art of Gustave Dore. Dante and his guides, Virgil and Beatrice, journey through the cantos in an allegory of the passage of the soul through the Afterlife, with the subtle engraving of Dore's illustrations perfectly complementing the movement from darkness through to light.

Translated by H. F. Cary With an introduction by Claire Honess.Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is one of the most important and innovative figures of the European Middle Ages. Writing his Comedy (the epithet Divine was added by later admirers) in exile from his native Florence, he aimed to address a world gone astray both morally and politically. At the same time, he sought to push back the restrictive rules which traditionally governed writing in the Italian vernacular, to produce a radically new and all-encompassing work.The Comedy tells of the journey of a character who is at one and the same time both Dante himself and Everyman through the three realms of the Christian afterlife: Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. He presents a vision of the afterlife which is strikingly original in its conception, with a complex architecture and a coherent structure. On this journey Dante's protagonist - and his reader - meet characters who are variously noble, grotesque, beguiling, fearful, ridiculous, admirable, horrific and tender, and through them he is shown the consequences of sin, repentance and virtue, as he learns to avoid Hell and, through cleansing in Purgatory, to taste the joys of Heaven.

Midtvejs på vores vandring gennem livet - Dantes Guddommelige Komedie. Dantes Guddommelige Komedie, der foregår i påskeugen år 1300, er en fortælling om en vandring gennem de tre dødsriger: Helvede, med dets evige pinsler, Purgatoriet (eller Skærsilden) med de timelige prøvelser, og Paradiset, hvor salige sjæle opholder sig nær Gud, men ikke har glemt det jordiske liv. Fortællingen kan betragtes som den første europæiske jeg-roman, idet fortæller og læser følger vandreren "Dante" gennem smerte mod forløsning og stadig større erkendelse. I begyndelsen føres han af digteren Vergil, senere af sin elskede Beatrice, som han ikke fik i live. Komedien er blandt meget andet verdenslitteraturens særeste og mest storslåede kærlighedsfortælling. Oversættelsen ved Ole Meyer følger Dantes versrytme og baserer sig ligesom denne på talesproget. Den Guddommelige Komedie hører til den klassiske litteraturs mesterværker. Den er formentlig blevet til under Dantes landflygtighed i årene 1307-21. Alt tyder på at Dante selv var bevidst om at have skabt et værk der ikke svarede til noget hidtil kendt og derfor kun vanskeligt lod sig beskrive ud fra gængse begreber. Hans egen betegnelse for det er "Komedie" (Comedía), hvortil en eftertid har tilføjet udtrykket "Den Guddommelige". Titlen har ikke noget med teater at gøre, men skyldes ifølge overleveringen, at værket ender godt og at dets stil ikke er ensartet "tragisk" og ophøjet.

Dante går gennem SKÆRSILDEN - inden han tilsidst når til paradiset.I denne udgave af Dantes Guddommelig Komedie, er de rimende versefødder bevaret - senere oversættelser er gjort i prosa, idet man har ment, at det på denne måde ville blive mere forståeligt. Det kan diskuteres - men indrømmes skal det, at det kræver sin mand/kvinde, at få hold på dette værk. Det anbefales, at læse indledningen (hvis man har tålmodighed), og i øvrigt er det jo sådan idag, at nettet er lige ved hånden, hvis man skulle være i tvivl om noget.
