The Divine Comedy. Dante Aligieri

“Once upon a time I am in a mature year of mature

I went into the dense forest and got lost...”

-this is how the “Divine Comedy” begins, the immortal poetic trilogy in which Dante was daring rethought the medieval tradition of “walks” in the afterlife and religious “visions”, and created a truly unique work in which mysticism is combined with philosophy, and the parable with a very poisonous political pamphlet.

centuries have passed. The political topicality of the “Divine Comedy” has long disappeared, but the immortal beauty of Dante’s language, and the power of his literary talent, and the power of philosophical thought that anticipated the spiritual and moral searches of the humanistic geniuses of the Renaissance.
