Speaking of Dante is a challenge. Easy to think that riding a fashion for some time more and more often the Florentine poet is in the news, but instead will try to give an account of first love and a friendship that at one point was placed in my life. I recognize that I share this fascination to many people, why the poet is in the news as I said at the beginning, this post is a contribution to the small little knowledge of him and above of his work and why it is so essential for me.
happened to Dante having to pay for his loyalty with intact exile, poverty, occupations equivocal in awe, death sentence cruel and infamous at the same time: solitude. The story of his life does not show almost anything else, the story of his life, the stuff of dreams. And with his experience. Many men of the time of Dante passed through similar situations, and many were literally consumed, while he managed to turn the fire on which their city had condemned him to die burned in a fire that did live up burning to death. His work goes beyond the fate. But it was necessary to endure that fate to complete it. (Maria Zambrano, Dante human mirror, Open City, 2007, p.65)
Surely one of the first interest of the work (and life) of Dante is in this description that other develop critical (for example, Giovanni Papini, in his Dante alive in 1933) and that is the human failure of Dante in which, paradoxically, is all his greatness, but where is the certainty of a man when you push things away and disappear from view away all your hopes turn out to be false (Florence Beatrice dies and the exile), what and where is that fire is talking about Zambrano, because I never write comedy, but I need the same fire, opposite to what you put to the test in life. As it was for Dante. Here and now.
My attendance of the Florentine poet after years of study was certainly helped by an identification with the protagonist of his poem, then he is the first case in the West in which the hero is the self, a feeling of identification with his man on the move, with its limitations and its heights, which does not feel alien encounter or feeling, who courageously judge of the reality outside and inside, but never heard seconded. The world of work and adult life was more complex, but even more full of promise, of what I expected and applications that looked like me were born, if not in form at least in substance to those that arose and to whom Dante was trying to respond to the experience that made a journey to discover their own uniqueness and originality, knowing that you can not talk about life, world, woman, God and so if you do not take seriously their need. And it does so only with the power of his word who always gives you the impression that you and talk about you every detail of which is, perhaps while talking about the Florence of the Middle Ages or the Roman Empire.
An example of this is definitely the song of the Purgatorio III starring Manfred and makes memorable the power of God's mercy like a rope which they continually hold: in fact, the incredible thing is that the sinners in Dante's purgatory is even worse than those of 'Hell, just to emphasize that what saves is not a capacity or coherence, but the recognition of this continuing opportunity to recover, as is the protagonist of this beautiful song, Manfred of Sicily, which is exposed to Dante, because her daughter Constance knows the subject, since it's in purgatory, even if dead excommunicated. Manfredi's gesture is simple, is in everything that makes you willingly forgive weeping, into an acute awareness of his own wrong, my sins were horrible: After I had broken the person / two points of death, I surrendered, / crying to Him, who willingly forgiven my sins were horrible; / But Infinite Goodness hath such ample arms, / that takes whatever turns to her.
gloss on the third Canto of Purgatory Taking advantage of this evocation of the character I recall Manfredi's novel was fair and blond Mario Tobino about the life of the Tuscan poet. The title takes the third Canto of Purgatory and is directly related the Sicilian prince. Tobino immediately showed affection for the poet to the title just using his own words of esteem and a capacity for empathy that makes him start each chapter with a summary that briefly outline the contents of what you are about to read, just like they used to do for Comedy . And then begins the story of a life and does so in a simple and captivating at the same time, in less than two hundred dense pages, writing in a kind of courtly language, without falling into the picture, nor in the academic reduced to caricature, speaking mainly the environment and the characters that Dante has seen and known and have since formed the subject of his poetry whether good or bad. It does so by focusing his attention on the many details that bring out the full power of a personality together, typical of a certain age, in which the poetic and political experience, high civil and passion was a sentimental one.
's edition is certainly the following reference: Dante Alighieri, Commedia, Mondadori (with comment by Anna Maria Leonardi Chiavacci) ; pending Olschki send in his library edition in 2011 with the curated by Robert Hollander, certainly no less indispensable.
