Download Dante's Divine Comedy AudioBook Free
Professors Make and Herzman offer you an illuminating launch to 1 of the best works ever written. Perhaps one of the most profound and gratifying of most poems, The Divine Comedy (or Commedia) of Dante Alighieri is a publication for life. In a brilliantly constructed narrative of his imaginary guided pilgrimage through the three realms of the Religious afterlife, Dante achieved a literary job of astonishing difficulty. But the full success of the Commedia runs beyond anything just literary. In these twenty-four lectures, as you follow Dante on his trip, you'll learn how medieval literature offers insights into fundamental questions: What's the quality of our moral activities? How does spiritual transformation happen? What is the nature of good and wicked, virtue and vice, sin and sanctity? Why is the globe so full of strife? How do we go on when we lose the things we love? You will discover why, in the decades because the Commedia was written, not one of these questions has lost its drive. Moreover, you'll notice Dante address them in a demanding and progressive Italian verse form (terza rima) that makes the Commedia one of the great virtuoso bits of world literature. With the advice of these two professional professors, you'll learn very helpful history information on Dante's life and times; why Dante composed the Commedia; how to approach the various English editions available; and exactly how every part of the poem is linked from what has come before. But most importantly, you'll understand why the Commedia is not really a puzzle to be resolved or a publication to be read and put aside-but a unknown whose beauty and richness is to be constantly savored.
