Autorenporträt
Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) stands as one of the most important poets of the late Middle Ages and a central figure in Italian literature. His magnum opus, 'The Divine Comedy,' is widely regarded as one of the greatest pieces of world literature, in which 'The Inferno,' often translated as 'The Vision of Hell,' is the initial part. An epic poem written in the vernacular of the time—Tuscan dialect, which would eventually become modern Italian—Dante's work has significantly shaped the literary and cultural landscape of Italy and beyond. 'The Vision of Hell' vividly portrays the medieval concept of hell, divided into nine circles of suffering, where sinners are punished in accordance with their sins. Dante's poetry is characterized by his use of terza rima, a rhyming verse stanza form that he utilized with superb skill. 'The Divine Comedy' blends a rich array of classical and contemporary references, making it a unique synthesis of the author's encyclopedic knowledge of philosophy, theology, and history. Dante's influence is pervasive, impacting subsequent literature, theology, and the arts, and his work continues to be studied and cherished for its linguistic innovation, imaginative power, and its exploration of the human condition.
