Dante is known to most readers outside Italy for his gritty descriptions of the Inferno, but there is another, gentler side to his poetry, which found expression throughout his career in verses that made him, together with his friend Guido Cavalcanti, the leading love poet of his generation • From the ballads and rime of his youth to the heart-rending lyrics written on the death of Beatrice and the more sober, philosophical canzoni of his later years, this volume provides the only English edition of the great Florentine’s complete love poems, in brilliant verse translations by Dante specialists J.G.

Данте Алигьери - одна из самых важных и новаторских фигур европейского средневековья. Написав "Божественную комедию" в изгнании из своей родной Флоренции, он стремился обратиться к миру, сбившемуся с пути как морально, так и политически • Комедия рассказывает о путешествии персонажа, который одновременно является и самим Данте, и обычным человеком, через три царства христианской загробной жизни: Ад, Чистилище и Рай. Он представляет видение загробной жизни, которое поразительно оригинально по своей концепции, со сложной архитектурой и последовательной структурой. В этом путешествии главный герой Данте - и его читатель - встречают персонажей, которые по-разному благородны, гротескны, обольстительны, внушают страх, смешны, вызывают восхищение, ужасающи и нежны, и через них ему показаны последствия греха, раскаяния и добродетели, поскольку он учится избегать Ада и, пройдя очищение в Чистилище, вкусить радости Рая

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is one of the most important and innovative figures of the European Middle Ages. Writing his Comedy (the epithet 'Divine' was added by later admirers) in exile from his native Florence, he aimed to address a world gone astray both morally and politically. At the same time, he sought to push back the restrictive rules which traditionally governed writing in the Italian vernacular, to produce a radically new and all-encompassing work • The Comedy tells the story of the journey of a character who is at one and the same time both Dante himself and Everyman. In the Inferno, Dante's protagonist - and his reader - is presented with a graphic vision of the dreadful consequences of sin, and encounters an all-too-human array of noble, grotesque, beguiling, ridiculous and horrific characters

In La Vita Nuova, Italy's greatest poet recounts the famous story of his passionate love for Beatrice. The drama of their relationship unravels through stunning poetry and prose in this, one of the most celebrated love stories in history • Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover • From the first time the poet sets eyes on Beatrice, he proclaims that 'love quite governed my soul' and his devotion to her knows no end. By recalling each meeting with Beatrice this short book is at once a heartfelt account of youthful love and a religious allegory. La Vita Nuova serves as an important precursor to Dante's masterpiece, The Divine Comedy

Dual-language edition • This collection of Dante Alighieri’s lyrics charts his poetic evolution and displays the ground on which his Vita nuova and Divine Comedy developed. Inspired in his early poems by troubadour love poetry, Dante would later come to master all the genres of the time, such as the canzone, the sonnet and the ballad • At the same time deeply personal – dealing with themes of love, death and exile – and imbued with the poetic and political milieux of the period, Dante’s Rime offer a fascinating glimpse into the imagination of arguably the greatest writer of all time • Translated by prize-winning translator J.G. Nichols and Anthony Mortimer who has published acclaimed verse translations of Petrarch and Michelangelo (Penguin), Dante’s Vita Nuova and the Poems of Cavalcanti (Alma Classics)

Discover this fresh, pacy, modern translation of an enduring literary classic • Halfway through life, you find yourself lost, unsure of the right path. Greed, deception and pride have led you away from the ideals and dreams you cherished in younger days. How do you go on? • This is the starting point of one of the most extraordinary and important journeys in western literature, a stunningly ambitious flight of imagination and philosophy which has reverberated down the years since Dante Alighieri first wrote it down in the fourteenth century. The Divine Comedy is a vision of the afterlife, the three regions of Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, through which the narrator must journey in order to better understand the workings of the universe, the love of God, and his place in the world

The Vita Nuova, with its unusual blend of prose and poetry, is universally recognized as Dante’s early masterpiece and provides an indispensable prequel to The Divine Comedy. Set in thirteenth-century Florence, part autobiography and part religious allegory, it traces Dante’s quest to find a poetic idiom worthy of Beatrice, whom he had loved since boyhood. Her premature death plunges him into an emotional turmoil that finds release only through his faith in her continuing spiritual influence and through his determination “to write of her what has never been written of any woman” • The Vita Nuova remains a central document in European culture’s examination of love and the self. It is a hundred and fifty years since Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s groundbreaking version of the Vita Nuova

As he descends through nine concentric circles of increasingly agonising torture, Dante encounters doomed souls including the pagan Aeneas, the liar Odysseus, the suicide Cleopatra, and his own political enemies, damned for their deceit. Led by leering demons, the poet must ultimately journey with Virgil to the deepest level of all

"Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark For the straightforward pathway had been lost... " • Canto I • Dante's Divine Comedy, and in particular "Inferno", is a masterpiece of world literature. The fearsome journey recounted in "Inferno" is told by a pilgrim - the poet himself - who meanders through the increasingly macabre landscape of Hell. He meets and often recognizes the various inhabitants of the hellish circles and witnesses their strangely befitting punishments • It is a spiritual allegory without comparison: at once a voyage of self-discovery and a revelation of the divine
