Cary With an introduction by Claire Honess.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDante Alighieri (1265-1321) is one of the most important and innovative figures of the European Middle Ages. Writing his \u003cem\u003eComedy\u003c\/em\u003e (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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Comedy\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 566\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 7.7 x 4.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 05, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47248576413945,"sku":"9781840221664","price":12.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/QjFIQ3hnVlQyN0Q3N3lXakVjK0xSUT09.webp?v=1768635611","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-divine-comedy-paperback-5","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
