Ne poluchiv podderzhki, byvshij politik i filosof sozdal svoj shedevr, sochetajuschij v sebe cherty kak antichnoj, tak i khristianskoj kultury, navsegda proslavivshij italjanskuju literaturu. V svoem snovidenii Dante vmeste s velichajshim dramaturgom antichnosti - Vergiliem - spuskaetsja v mir zagrobnoj zhizni, prokhodja cherez Ad, Chistilische i Raj. Pogruzhajas vse glubzhe, geroj vse bolshe nachinaet chuvstvovat sostradanie k greshnikam - zabroshennym i slavnym figuram antichnosti. V etom simvolichnom videnii vse: zhivotnye, kamni, rastenija, ljudi - ispolnjajut svoju prednachertannuju rol, dannuju im bozhestvennym Provideniem. Salvador Dali vdokhnovlennyj glubinoj i simvolikoj proizvedenija, sozdal tseluju seriju rabot. Eti illjustratsii ne prosto vizualnye dopolnenija k tekstu Dante, oni stanovjatsja samostojatelnymi proizvedenijami iskusstva, kotorye vdokhnovljajut na glubokie razmyshlenija o smysle zhizni, dobre i zle, ljubvi i nenavisti. Dali s prisuschej emu igrivostju i ironichnostju interpretiruet obrazy, prevraschaja ikh v jarkie i zapominajuschiesja videnija. Ego unikalnyj stil i filosofskij podkhod, vossozdajut velikoe nasledie, otkryvaja ego novye grani dlja sovremennogo zritelja.

When Michael Palma’s translation of the Inferno appeared in 2002, it defied the conventional wisdom of literary commentators who had long argued that Dante’s intricate terza rima form simply could not be rendered in “rhyme-poor” English. But Palma’s achievement in rhyming tercets was quickly received as a spectacular feat of poetic artistry that was “accurate...admirably clear, and readable” (Richard Wilbur) and that, “in capturing the sense, sound, and spirit of the original...comes close to perfection” (X. J. Kennedy). Now, more than two decades later, Palma has applied the same virtuosic attention to the form and flow of the Purgatorio and Paradiso, attending to both the tiniest details and the grand design of the entire Commedia and offering a fluid and readable English version that reveals to contemporary readers the sound, sense and awe-inspiring beauty of Italian literature’s greatest poem.

Part love story, part instruction manual, part spiritual journey, Dante’s “little book”, the Vita Nuova, has had a profound and far-reaching influence on global culture and is considered by many to be the perfect expression of the medieval ideal of courtly love, as well as an essential precursor to Dante’s sublime poetic apotheosis, the Divine Comedy. Now Joseph Luzzi, celebrated author of books about Italian literature and culture and a lifelong lover and teacher of Dante’s poetry, gives us a version of the Vita Nuova that is fresh, contemporary and approachable—as vital and vivid as Dante’s original Tuscan dialect—rendered in a voice that will entice a new generation of readers to swoon over one of the most heartbreaking stories of unfulfilled love in all of world literature.

"Bozhestvennaja komedija" - grandioznyj literaturnyj pamjatnik italjanskogo poeta Dante Aligeri, uverenno vkhodjaschij v 100 glavnykh knig vsekh vremen. Unikalnoe podarochnoe izdanie s obemnym tisneniem, zakrashennym obrezom i banderolju-zakladkoj - nastojaschij art-obekt, kotoryj dostavit esteticheskoe udovolstvie i stanet zhemchuzhinoj vashej knizhnoj kollektsii. Velikolepnyj klassicheskij perevod Dmitrija Minaeva peredaet tertsinnyj stroj originalnogo teksta, a legendarnye gravjury Gjustava Dore pozvoljajut vizualizirovat samye znakovye mesta khrestomatijnogo sjuzheta i otsenit stsenicheskij genij Dante v postroenii mizanstsen i smene gigantskikh dekoratsij. Opisyvaja svoju epicheskuju odisseju po mnogoetazhnomu zagrobnomu miru s nastavnikom Vergiliem, Dante sozdaet shirokoe kulturnoe polotno, summirujuschee srednevekovye predstavlenija ob istorii i ee vydajuschikhsja figurakh, religii, filosofii, politike i nauke. Odnako tsennost poemy ne ischerpyvaetsja istoricheskim interesom. Obrazy Dante krepko vpleteny v tkan obschemirovoj kultury - k nim obraschalis pisateli ot Aleksandra Pushkina do Dena Brauna, velikie khudozhniki i kompozitory, titulovannye rezhissery. Nad zagadkami i temnymi mestami poemy bjutsja uchenye i konspirologi, kak nad polotnami Boskha i Da Vinchi, i ikh azart mozhno ponjat - nedavno vyjasnilos, chto modnyj termin "transgumanizm" ukhodit etimologicheskimi kornjami v... "Bozhestvennuju komediju". Dante zakrepil klassicheskuju ikonografiju Ljutsifera, podrobno opisal adskij bestiarij i s dotoshnostju kabinetnogo uchenogo sozdal nastojaschuju periodicheskuju sistemu porokov, poputno raskvitavshis s opponentami. Odnako ego geroj otnjud ne tsinik - vo vremja zagrobnogo puteshestvija on perezhivaet silnejshie emotsii: boitsja dikikh zverej, nemeet ot uzhasa pri vide nemyslimykh stradanij greshnikov v adu, sochuvstvuet znakomym i greshnikam ponevole, tsepljaetsja za otecheskuju figuru Vergilija, zamiraet v vostorge. Vpechatljajuschij psikhologizm i dramatizm povestvovanija (za tri stoletija do rozhdenija Shekspira!) derzhat v naprjazhenii do poslednego stikha.

"Posmotri, - skazala odna, - vot tot, kto spuskaetsja v Ad i, vozvraschajas ottuda, kogda pozhelaet, prinosit vest o prebyvajuschikh tam greshnikakh". Drugaja otvetila: "Dolzhno byt, ty prava: posmotri, kak boroda ego kurchava, i litso ego cherno ot dyma i kopoti adskogo ognja".
