La Divina Comedia

Escrito por Dante Alighieri

Narrado por Joel Iglesias

"La Divina Comedia, escrita por Dante Alighieri, es un poema narrativo italiano que comenzó alrededor del 1308 y se completó alrededor del 1321, poco antes de la muerte del autor. Es ampliamente considerada la obra preeminente de la literatura italiana1. La Divina Comedia consta de tres partes: Inferno, Purgatorio y Paradiso. Infierno Inferno: Describe el viaje de Dante a través del Infierno, guiado por el poeta romano Virgilio. Cada círculo del Infierno está reservado para diferentes pecados y presenta una visión imaginativa de la vida después de la muerte. Purgatorio Purgatorio: Representa la vida penitente y la purificación de las almas en el monte Purgatorio. Aquí, Dante es guiado por Beatriz, que simboliza la revelación divina. Paradiso: Describe el ascenso de Dante al Cielo, guiado por San Bernardo de Claraval. Aquí, Dante experimenta la visión beatífica de Dios. La Divina Comedia no solo es un viaje físico a través de los reinos espirituales, sino también una alegoría de la búsqueda del alma hacia Dios. Dante se basa en la teología y filosofía católica medieval, y su obra ha sido llamada "la Summa en verso". La visión completa de la vida después de la muerte y la riqueza de su lenguaje ayudaron a establecer el toscano como el italiano estándar"

Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) was an Italian poet. Born in Florence, Dante was raised in a family loyal to the Guelphs, a political faction in support of the Pope and embroiled in violent conflict with the opposing Ghibellines, who supported the Holy Roman Emperor. Promised in marriage to Gemma di Manetto Donati at the age of 12, Dante had already fallen in love with Beatrice Portinari, whom he would represent as a divine figure and muse in much of his poetry. After fighting with the Guelph cavalry at the Battle of Campaldino in 1289, Dante returned to Florence to serve as a public figure while raising his four young children. By this time, Dante had met the poets Guido Cavalcanti, Lapo Gianni, Cino da Pistoia, and Brunetto Latini, all of whom contributed to the burgeoning aesthetic movement known as the dolce stil novo, or “sweet new style.” The New Life (1294) is a book composed of prose and verse in which Dante explores the relationship between romantic love and divine love through the lens of his own infatuation with Beatrice. Written in the Tuscan vernacular rather than Latin, The New Life was influential in establishing a standardized Italian language. In 1302, following the violent fragmentation of the Guelph faction into the White and Black Guelphs, Dante was permanently exiled from Florence. Over the next two decades, he composed The Divine Comedy (1320), a lengthy narrative poem that would bring him enduring fame as Italy’s most important literary figure.
