The Divine Comedy 3

Dante Alighieri

As Dante’s soul ascents to God, he must juggle with the weight of the world’s injustices at his feet. Cleansed of his own sins, his vision and virtues are clear. But how can good triumph over evil back on Earth? With God’s own message so brilliant in Heaven, Dante scrambles to write and record all that he can for mortals on Earth. And as he joins his beloved Beatrice for a final future, he's intent on sharing his moral musing with those treading a troubled path. Only time will tell how his lessons and learnings are received. And only a soul’s sacred journey to God will reveal the real results… Weaving a profoundly philosophical tale of heaven and hell, sin and sacrifice, Dante’s ‘The Divine Comedy 3: Paradise’ is the final instalment of his epic poetic narrative. Ideal for film fans of ‘What Dreams May Come’, Dante’s 'Paradise' remains today one of the greatest works of world literature. Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) was an Italian poet, writer and philosopher, celebrated as the ‘father’ of the Italian language. His ‘Divine Comedy’ (Comedìa) is widely celebrated as one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary works in the Italian language. The work was instrumental in shaping the Western world’s understanding of Hell, Purgatory and Heaven and continues to influence depictions across all art forms today. A skilled linguist, Dante was also instrumental in establishing literature in Italy, along with standardising the Italian language at a time when published works remained almost exclusively in Latin. He is celebrated for diversifying accessibility to reading and religion, during an era long before the industrial printing press. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie
