Dante Alighieri

    30 mei 1265 – 13 september 1321

    Dante Alighieri staat te boek als een van de meest vooraanstaande dichters in de Italiaanse taal, wiens werk diepgaand werd gevormd door zowel geïdealiseerde liefde als turbulente politiek. De figuur van Beatrice, hoewel hun verbinding grotendeels imaginair was, werd een krachtig symbool van hemelse deugd en een gids op het pad naar verlossing in zijn meesterwerk. De politieke strijd en ballingschap uit Florence doordrenkten zijn schrijven met een gepassioneerde morele en politieke urgentie. Dante's verzen belichamen een middeleeuwse wereldvisie, verkennen de diepten van de menselijke ziel en zoeken naar orde binnen de aardse chaos.

      The preeminent American political cartoonist's classic reinterpretation of Dante's Inferno as a satirical indictment of capitalism ― as it has never been seen before. Capitalist oligarchs and their minions have been condemned to Hell, but they lead a hostile takeover, throw out Satan, and privatize the Inferno. Operated by a corporate monopoly who maximizes profits and misery, Hell has become the perfect capitalist paradise. Fantagraphics, the premier publisher of cartoon art, presents each page of Young's art scanned from the original and reproduced in full color. His brushstrokes are clearly visible and this artwork appears as it did on his drawing board. This edition also includes the original 1934 essays by Young and his "friend, admirer, and attorney" Charles Recht, a foreword by acclaimed graphic designer Steven Heller, and an introduction by art collector and documentarian Glenn Bray.

    • HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'There is no greater sorrow then to recall our times of joy in wretchedness.' Considered one of the greatest medieval poems written in the common vernacular of the time, Dante's Inferno begins on Good Friday in the year 1300. As he wanders through a dark forest, Dante loses his way and stumbles across the ghost of the poet Virgil. Virgil promises to lead him back to the top of the mountain, but to do so, they must pass through Hell, encountering all manner of shocking horrors, sins and evil torments along the way, evoking questions about God's justice, human behaviour and Christianity.
