Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Biography of Dante Alighieri: Set Forth as His Life JourneyFirst, then, it behooves us to select from this fragment one short phrase for immediate use the Journey of our Life - the two nouns being capitalized for a little added stress (el Cammin di nostra Vita). Such is Dante's title of his own biography, as he writes it down in the opening line of his most distinctive book; and so we shall follow closely his example, in naming this record of his career Dante's Life Journey. Let it also be here noted that this title appears to have been given by the poet to his work after its completion during his last years (1320 Herein he would seem with the prime stroke of his pen to hit not only the exact designation but also the germinal conception of his masterpiece. Thus we may like wise deem the foregoing seven Italian words as his own suggestive introduction, since they echo to us' at the start the first musical line of his far singing spiritual autobiography.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Dante Alighieri's epic poem, later given the title Divine Comedy by Giovanni Boccaccio, is widely considered one of the most significant literary works of the Middle Ages and the crowning achievement of medieval Italian literature. Originally titled simply Comedy, this allegorical tale of Dante's imagined journey through the afterlife has had an enduring impact on Western culture. By deciding to compose his masterpiece not in scholarly Latin but rather in the Tuscan vernacular, Dante boldly asserted the artistic potential of the common Italian language. At a time when most serious writings were still produced in Latin, accessible only to the highly educated elite, Dante pioneered the use of the vernacular for a major work of literature. This choice allowed him to reach a much wider audience and helped pave the way for the development of a standardized national language. In addition to the Divine Comedy, Dante produced other innovative works in Tuscan such as Vita Nuova and De Vulgari Eloquentia, a treatise defending the literary use of vernacular languages. He would inspire later titans of Italian literature like Petrarch and Boccaccio to follow his example and produce their own trailblazing works in the vernacular.

Download or read book How Dante Can Save Your Life written by Rod Dreher and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The opening lines of The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri launched Rod Dreher on a journey that rescued him from exile and saved his life. Dreher found that the medieval poem offered him a surprisingly practical way of solving modern problems. Following the death of his little sister and the publication of his New York Times bestselling memoir The Little Way of Ruthie Leming, Dreher found himself living in the small community of Starhill, Louisiana where he grew up. But instead of the fellowship he hoped to find, he discovered that fault lines within his family had deepened. Dreher spiraled into depression and a stress-related autoimmune disease. Doctors told Dreher that if he didn’t find inner peace, he would destroy his health. Soon after, he came across The Divine Comedy in a bookstore and was enchanted by its first lines, which seemed to describe his own condition. In the months that followed, Dante helped Dreher understand the mistakes and mistaken beliefs that had torn him down and showed him that he had the power to change his life. Dreher knows firsthand the solace and strength that can be found in Dante’s great work, and distills its wisdom for those who are lost in the dark wood of depression, struggling with failure (or success), wrestling with a crisis of faith, alienated from their families or communities, or otherwise enduring the sense of exile that is the human condition. Inspiring, revelatory, and packed with penetrating spiritual, moral, and psychological insights, How Dante Can Save Your Life is a book for people, both religious and secular, who find themselves searching for meaning and healing. Dante told his patron that he wrote his poem to bring readers from misery to happiness. It worked for Rod Dreher. Dante saved Rod Dreher’s life—and in this book, Dreher shows you how Dante can save yours.

Also included in this volume is a biography of Boccaccio, perhaps as great an influence on world literature as Dante himself.

Book excerpt: "For all that has been written about the author of the Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) remains the best guide to his own life and work. Dante's writings are therefore never far away in this authoritative and comprehensive intellectual biography, which offers a fresh account of the medieval Florentine poet's life and thought before and after his exile in 1302. Beginning with the often violent circumstances of Dante's life, the book examines his successive works as testimony to the course of his passionate humanity: his lyric poetry through to the Vita nova as the great work of his first period; the Convivio, De vulgari eloquentia and the poems of his early years in exile; and the Monarchia and the Commedia as the product of his maturity. Describing as it does a journey of the mind, the book confirms the nature of Dante's undertaking as an exploration of what he himself speaks of as "maturity in the flame of love." The result is an original synthesis of Dante's life and work." --Amazon.com.

Book excerpt: One of the surest signs of fame among men is when one is known solely by his first name, and yet the mention of just that first name makes clear who is being spoken of. So it is with Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), known simply as Dante, thanks to the success of his Divine Comedy, one of the seminal works in human history. With the Divine Comedy, Dante is often considered the master of contemporary Italian, as well as a forerunner of the Renaissance, which began to flourish in Florence around the same time. The Divine Comedy tells of Dante's journey through Hell (the Inferno), Purgatory, and Paradise, guided by famous poets including Virgil. Dante's epic discusses religion, philosophy, and a wide range of subject matter throughout Dante's travels. Although Dante will always be known for Divine Comedy, he also wrote other works, touching on topics like philosophy in works like Convivio, and religion and power in De Monarchia
