Поль Гюстав Доре, один из величайших граверов XIX века, который проиллюстрировал множество произведений – от Библии до сказок Шарля Перо. Его считали выдающимся представителем европейского искусства, внесшим непревзойденный вклад в сокровищницу мировой графики. Создав гравюры к «Гаргантюа и Пантагрюэлю» Ф. Рабле, а затем к «Божественной комедии» А. Данте, художник становится ведущим иллюстратором Парижа. Вскоре он делает цикл работ к роману М. де Сервантеса «Дон Кихот», на который его вдохновило путешествие по Испании. И приблизительно в это же время берется за иллюстрации к «Приключениям барона Мюнхгаузена» Р. Распэ, передавая остроумие и любовь героя к импровизации. Эта книга призвана показать, насколько разнообразна была манера художника и как точно он отражал характеры персонажей великих произведений, которые даются здесь в сокращении.
«Божественная комедия» – грандиозный памятник поэтической культуры и настоящая энциклопедия средневекового мировоззрения. В ней поэт совершает путешествие через три царства загробного мира и с удивительной наглядностью и ясностью изображения дает живую, запоминающуюся картину происходящего там. Простой народ воспринимал поэму Данте буквально. Боккаччо рассказывал о двух жительницах Вероны, которые, заметив проходившего мимо Данте, обменялись многозначительными репликами. «Посмотри, – сказала одна, – вот тот, кто спускается в Ад и, возвращаясь оттуда, когда пожелает, приносит весть о пребывающих там грешниках». Другая ответила: «Должно быть, ты права: посмотри, как борода его курчава и лицо его черно от дыма и копоти адского огня». В наши же дни историки и критики до сих пор не прекращают споры о том, чем является это великое произведение: «путеводителем» по загробному миру или попыткой познать непознаваемое, найти рациональное в иррациональном, показать людям путь от мрака и скорби к свету и радости.
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.‘There is no greater sorrow then to recall our times of joy in wretchedness.’Considered one of the greatest medieval poems written in the common vernacular of the time, Dante’s Inferno begins on Good Friday in the year 1300. As he wanders through a dark forest, Dante loses his way and stumbles across the ghost of the poet Virgil. Virgil promises to lead him back to the top of the mountain, but to do so, they must pass through Hell, encountering all manner of shocking horrors, sins and evil torments along the way, evoking questions about God’s justice, human behaviour and Christianity.
The «Divine Comedy» was entitled by Dante himself merely «Commedia,» meaning a poetic composition in a style intermediate between the sustained nobility of tragedy, and the popular tone of elegy. The word had no dramatic implication at that time, though it did involve a happy ending. The poem is the narrative of a journey down through Hell, up the mountain of Purgatory, and through the revolving heavens into the presence of God. In this aspect it belongs to the two familiar medieval literary types of the Journey and the Vision. It is also an allegory, representing under the symbolism of the stages and experiences of the journey, the history of a human soul, painfully struggling from sin through purification to the Beatific Vision. Contained in this volume is the first part of the «Divine Comedy,» the «Inferno» or «Hell,» from the translation of Charles Eliot Norton.

"La Vita Nuova" is the first of two collections of verse and prose written by the Italian poet, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). Since the Middle Ages, Dante has been cherished as the «Supreme Poet,» or simply il Poeta, of Italy, and is most widely recognized for his allegorical «Divina Commedia». «La Vita Nuova» contains works written over a period of ten years, from before 1283 to roughly 1293, and is the semi-autobiographical account of Dante's lifelong love for a woman he called Beatrice. It explores the emotions of courtly love, its powerful ability to inspire, and Dante's affirmations of his own religious convictions. The piece transformed European vernacular poetry, and established the Tuscan dialect in which it is written as the Italian standard. Today it is not only enjoyed for its imaginative and sensitive love story, but also for its exploration of poetry and religious experience, and the overarching connection between them all.
