Description

‘Dante’ vertelt het levensverhaal van de Italiaanse auteur, dichter en filosoof Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). Deze biografie is tevens een introductie op Dantes wereldberoemde ‘De goddelijke komedie’. ‘De goddelijke komedie’ is het beroemdste werk uit de westerse literatuur. Deze uitmuntende biografie van Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), dichter en filosoof, geschreven door de Amerikaanse hoogleraar R.W.B. Lewis, is een prachtige introductie daarop. Dante Alighieri werd geboren in Florence. Toen hij 35 jaar was, werd hij uit de stad verbannen. De meer dan 14.000 verzen tellende ‘De goddelijke komedie’ schreef hij in ballingschap. In 1421 overleed hij in Ravenna. Booklist roemt deze biografie als: ‘Een schitterend juweel, deze korte biografie over de grootste dichter uit de middeleeuwen. (...) Perfect voor mensen die voor het eerst kennismaken met Dante.’
