Mario CuomoAs Virgil, Beatrice and Bernard guided Dante and his epiphantic journey through the afterlife, Harriet Rubin brilliantly describes how that journey has edified millions and inspired them to value the truth of love at least as much as they value the love of truth. Dante in Love should be required reading for anyone wishing to take the trip for the first time -- or take it again with even greater insight., Paco UnderhillThe reigning goddess of American intellect uses Dante's poetry to take us on a gentle tour of the confluence of love, history and humanism.

Contents Part I: Touching the Depths1. A Time Run by Dreamers and Their DreamsThe High Middle Ages reached their greatest height in a brief thirty-year period, when the thirteenth century ended and the fourteenth century began -- the source of the great institutions we call modern.2. The Difference Between One Who Knows and One Who UndergoesIn this tale of how Dante, ill-fated fugitive, became Dante, creator of a masterpiece that influences readers from beyond the grave, we take a look at how readers become Dantisti pursuing the art of perfection as did their master. Why anti-Shakespearians see farther. The reward of happiness and genius for readers of The Divine Comedy.Part II: Inferno (1304-8)3. The Fearful Infant Whose Ravenous Hunger Cannot Be SatisfiedTwo worlds that define the High Middle Ages: poverty and plenty; purity and power. The fanaticism of ambition shapes both church and state. Pope Boniface VIII is Dante's dark twin; St. Francis, who gave Italy poetry, is Dante's vagabond hero. Giotto, who raised the modestly human to the level of high art, defines the third element of achievement in these expansionist times. Throughout Italy, the search for the grail shifts to the search for sugar, cinnamon and gold. Dante experiences this double, squinting time of spiritual forces and commerce as he enters the wilderness of the Inferno.4. The Ogre of the BrotherhoodThe death of poet Guido Cavalcanti, Dante's first friend and "brother" in the Fedeli d' Amore -- "the brotherhood of the faithful in love." Was Dante responsible? The birth of poetry; the first time the word "love" is uttered and Dante's vow to write what had never been written before. The blend of asceticism and passionate desire that led to conflicts among the brotherhood. Dante's sorrows take on a new depth as he travels deeper into the Inferno.5. The Golden SpermHow Dante constructed the Comedy. The poet vies with the ghost of St. Thomas Aquinas, author of "that other epic," the Summa Theologica, to lift poetry from its bookish deadness. He studies "alchemy" -- literally, "golden sperm" -- for a new language, and finds a means by which loss can be reversed.6. The Difficult Discipline of "As Pleased Another"Can failure be reversed? Wandering the open roads of Italy, an outcast and fugitive with a death warrant hanging over his head, Dante compares himself to the heroic wanderer Ulysses and his failed last voyage. To what can one aspire that is free of the deadlock of ambition? One can try to see morally and aesthetically, looking for the divine in things, learning to read "the mystery of history," which is that "God writes straight with crooked lines."Part III: Purgatorio (1308-12)7. Virgin DiscoveriesA woman takes on the role of a god. Dante, in the midst of this revolution, discovers the feminine mysteries. Something very dramatic had happened between the two notions of tenderness: piety and pity -- between ancient warrior Aeneas's pious devotion to his father and Michelangelo's Renaissance Pietà: the sculpture of a young woman cradling her dead son in her lap. Out of this, the definition of genius becomes linked with sweetness. Dante prepares for meeting his dead lover, Beatrice.8. Number-Crunchers in ParisThe abduction of the papacy to Avignon, dashing hopes for a new Roman Empire. Dante voyages to Paris in 1309 in the wake of the pope. The new sciences and Gothic churches fill his imagination and provide him the means for Paradise and Paradiso: "sacred geometry," apparent in the magisterial Gothic cathedrals that are rare in Italy but which dominate France.9. "We Have Tears for Things," Said VirgilThe saddest moment in literature is not when Juliet dies undeflowered, Byron said, but wh

    Most importantly, the book condition was as specified. Many thanks for that. Also, the book was delivered promptly from the USA to the UK. Also, the price was reasonable for an out-of-print book. However, one point of constructive criticism: the packaging could have been much better, in order to better protect the book in transit. The book was sent in a bubble-wrap mailer only, with no cardboard to give the package greater strength. Thank you very much for any consideration of my feedback.

    The mail service absolutely ravaged the top binding corner of the book, which really was a disappointment. It’s not your fault as a seller, but please consider that a book in a snug envelope is very unsafe rather than a slightly larger envelope of the same strength. It’s not going to affect your rating. I will say nothing. But please consider this in the future- Post is treated poorly and customer service is poor with mail, so it’s necessary to ship properly, especially if you sell books. :)
