"The Divine Comedy" adopts the form of fantasy literature popular in the Middle Ages, and describes a story about traveling through the three realms of hell, purgatory and heaven. There are three volumes of poems, namely "Hell", "Purgatory" and "Paradise", with thirty-three chapters in each volume, and a total of one hundred chapters including the preface. The poet described how he lost his way in a dark forest in the early morning before Easter in 1300. Leopards, lions and wolves, which symbolized lust, power and greed, blocked the way. At the critical moment, the ancient Roman poet Virgil appeared. He was entrusted by the woman Dante loved in his youth, Bidelice, to come to his aid. Virgil guided Dante through Hell, which punishes sinful souls, and through Purgatory, which accommodates repentant souls. Finally, Bidelice guided him through the nine heavens that constitute heaven, and finally reached the presence of God. At this time, Dante realized that his thoughts were in harmony with God's thoughts, and the whole poem came to an abrupt end.
Reader comments
I've wanted to watch The Divine Comedy for a long time! ! I found it on Tomato today, what an unexpected surprise!
Sometimes it is more meaningful to kill time by reading some classics than reading novels. Although you may not get so much happiness, you can at least learn something from them. For example, the Divine Comedy, written by Dante during the Renaissance, actually expressed a lot. In the minds of the bourgeoisie, what exactly do they want? How the church and Christian ideas hindered capitalism at that time, Dante tells us in words. Here we use the knowledge from previous history books, which liberated people's minds and promoted the development of capitalism. At that time, I was very curious, what kind of words can touch people's hearts like this? Hell, purgatory, heaven, what kind of people enter what kind of places are already clear in Dante's mind. This book is the embodiment of humanism, telling us that the most important thing in our hearts is love, and it is the author's pursuit of the ideals of peace and benevolence.
Writing these things brings me back to the time when I kept reciting knowledge about the Renaissance. Hahahaha, Dante paid a lot for Europe. History develops step by step, and pioneers will always remember that words are the silk that touches these footprints. Without the seal of fire paint, the implication and meaning slipping out from the edge of the paper are dazzling and stunning for the whole world.
The above is just my first opinion. If you have any questions, please forgive me.
"To this point, I have exhausted my ability to use that high degree of imagination; but that love has long since moved my desire and will, evenly as a wheel is driven, and it is this love that moves the sun and other stars."
.——"Divine Comedy"
May I ask whose translation this is?
This book was like a fantasy adventure that took me through scenes of hell, purgatory, and heaven. The storyline in the book is very fascinating and made me think deeply about the issues of good and evil, crime and punishment. In particular, the various challenges Dante encountered in the forest reminded me of the difficulties and choices I faced in life. This book is not only a literary classic, but also an exploration of human nature and spirit, which has benefited me a lot.
After comparing many books, this one is not gorgeous in terms but concise and concise, and the most spiritual.
It's a very good book, but there are some problems with the paragraphs.
