Dante Alighieri Boeken
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.
Reproductions of Dore's scenes from the Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso are accompanied by lines from Longfellow's translation
Dante's first major work links 31 poems inspired by his love of Beatrice, with a prose narrative that celebrates the subject of love while commenting on the nature of the poet's art.
The book offers a fresh translation of Dante's Monarchy, a significant work of political theory exploring the ideal political organization for human nature. It presents Dante's original and powerful political vision while showcasing his intellectual contributions as a poet. Accompanied by an introduction and notes by Prue Shaw, the translation provides essential context about Dante's life and the broader implications of his ideas, making it accessible for both new readers and scholars.

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.
