Opis

After an extensive reading of various interrelated authors, whose specific interests were to read the Divine Comedy, a text about Politics from the Middle Ages disguised as poetry and a love song, with the aim of appreciating, analyzing and criticizing it in the light of modern socio-literary research, the author, journalist and professor Volmer S. do Rêgo, tried to point out and highlight the most dramatic aspect of the polysemic text. do Rêgo, sought to point out and highlight the most dramatic aspect of the polysemic text, which characterizes it as an immortal work of Western Latin poetry: a libel of the failed human attempt to exercise earthly power over populations, through extensive Roman colonization and domination, from the year I of the Christian Era, when Rome (the house of wolves) was rehearsing its first political-religious arrangements with the Jews, to the fierce struggle of the incipient and still embryonic European national states, interested in knowledge, and in the enormous power that the popes held, at the time when the fall of the empire in the East and the European cultural Renaissance were already looming. The axis of this bloody dispute, however, remains to this day between the Germanic Northern Hemisphere and the Latin Southern Hemisphere, under various aliases: Geopolitics and Globalization are the most common.
