Judgment Based On Books Paradiso (La Divina Commedia #3)

this book is incredibly intimidating. but after reading the vita nuova and the other two books in the divine comedy, paradiso is literally the coup de grace, in the most beautiful and beatific way possible.

"What little I recall is to be told,from this point on, in words more weak than those of one whose infant tongue still bathes at the breast." Canto XXXIIINote: When your eyes glaze over at any point while reading this review, simply skip ahead to the solid line __________. Dante wrote his 'Divine Comedy' as a didactic poem. He wanted to teach his fellow citizens about what could await them after death - Inferno; Purgatorio; Paradiso. He also wanted to teach a lesson in Faith and Morals. He wrote

I have already read the whole divine comedy but this book was on my shelf and I am not disappointed in Dante. Not one bit.

There are some 1200 entries in Sinclairs index at the end of "Paradiso" to names of places and people to the entire "Divine Comedy". The Comedy is a liberal arts encyclopedia of the Medieval mind.This edition has the original text with facing page translation. The footnotes and translator's notes after each canto are very helpful. This text is recommended by Yale University for it's Dante course that is available on line free.

The Paradiso is the last volume of Dante's Divine Comedy (which includes The Inferno, The Purgatorio and The Paradiso). The Divine Comedy was written between 1308 and 1320. The Paradiso is Dante's ascent through heaven. Dante's vision of heaven (and God) is so poetically beautiful and well done that much of today's Christian belief is steeped in The Paradiso. In fact all the volumes of The Divine Comedy lends some basis for the Christian beliefs of the afterlife.Like the first 2 volumes Dante

3.5This is the most difficult book I've ever read. And I still think Inferno is the most enjoyable part. Idk people, I like the damned.

My dilemma since the early years of Sunday school: hell is more interesting than paradise. Thus, true to form, though I wanted to be contrary, The Inferno is more interesting than any amount of heavenly light (so bright! so much dancing!), but get to that last line and you cant help but feel the awe and poetry of it: The Love which moves the sun and the other stars.
