Donner votre avis

Dante Alighieris Gttliche Komdie ist eines der bedeutendsten Werke der Weltliteratur und Gründungstext der italienischen Literatursprache. In der Nacht des Karfreitags 1300 begibt sich der Dichter, in der Mitte seines Lebens vom rechten Weg abgekommen, auf eine visionäre Jenseitsreise: Geführt vom rmischen Dichter Vergil durchwandert er zunächst die neun Kreise der Hlle, in denen Sünder nach Art ihrer Vergehen bestraft werden, steigt anschließend den Läuterungsberg des Fegefeuers empor, wo reuige Seelen sich reinigen, und wird schließlich, nachdem Vergil ihn verlassen muss, von seiner idealisierten Jugendliebe Beatrice durch die neun Himmelssphären bis zur Anschauung Gottes selbst geleitet. Das in kunstvollen Terzinen verfasste Epos verbindet christliche Theologie, antike Mythologie, mittelalterliche Astronomie und scharfe politische Zeitkritik an den Machtkämpfen des zeitgenssischen Florenz und der Kirche zu einer umfassenden Weltvision. Um 1320 vollendet, kurz vor Dantes Tod im Exil, gilt das Werk als Hhepunkt mittelalterlicher Literatur und übte enormen Einfluss auf die gesamte europäische Kunst- und Geistesgeschichte aus.

Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri (Italian: ; most likely baptized Durante di Alighiero degli Alighieri; c. May 1265 – September 14, 1321), widely known mononymously as Dante, was an Italian poet, writer, and philosopher. His Divine Comedy, originally called Comedìa (modern Italian: Commedia) and later christened Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio, is widely considered one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language. At a time when Latin was still the dominant language for scholarly and literary writing—and when many Italian poets drew inspiration from French or Provençal traditions—Dante broke with both by writing in the vernacular, specifically his native Tuscan dialect. His De vulgari eloquentia (On Eloquence in the Vernacular) was one of the first scholarly defenses of the vernacular as well as a watershed study of the troubadour tradition and its craft of rhyme. His use of the Florentine dialect for works such as The New Life (1295) and Divine Comedy helped establish the modern-day standardized Italian language. His work set a precedent that important Italian writers such as Petrarch and Boccaccio would later follow. Dante was instrumental in establishing the literature of Italy, and is considered to be among the country's national poets and the Western world's greatest literary icons. His depictions of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven provided inspiration for the larger body of Western art and literature. He influenced English writers such as Geoffrey Chaucer, John Milton, and Alfred Tennyson, among many others. In addition, the first use of the interlocking three-line rhyme scheme, or the terza rima, is attributed to him. He is described as the "father" of the Italian language, and in Italy he is often referred to as il Sommo Poeta ("the Supreme Poet"). Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio are also called the tre corone ("three crowns") of Italian literature.
