El Infierno (en italiano Inferno) es la primera de las tres canticas de La Divina Comedia del poeta florentino Dante Alighieri. Los sucesivos cantos son el Purgatorio y el Paraiso. Esta formada por 33 cantos, mas uno de introduccion, y cada canto esta subdividida en tercetos y la rima esta unida. De hecho, su estructura doctrinal hace un uso constante del numero 3: los condenados son de hecho repartidos en tres categorias, cada una localizada en una seccion decreciente de la cavidad subterranea. El orden de las penas, como dice Virgilio en el canto XI, depende de la Etica Nicomaquea de...

Los tres mundos infierno, purgatorio y paraiso reflejan tres modos de ser de la humanidad, en ellos se reflejan el vicio, el pasaje del vicio a la virtud y la condicion de los hombres perfectos. Es entonces a traves de los viciosos, penitentes y buenos que se revela la vida en todas sus formas, sus miserias y hazanas, pero tambien se...

Escrito filosofico presentado como un banquete de la sabiduria para los simples e ignorantes. El plan original constaba de 14 canciones y tratados que finalmente se redujo a 4 tratados y 3 canciones, pero donde mucho del pensamiento espiritual de Dante se explica y desarrolla. Entre los anos 1303 y 1307, aproximadamente, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) abordo la escritura de esta ambiciosa obra, en la que declaraba haber superado su etapa juvenil stilnovista por haber encontrado un amor que sublimaba al de Beatriz: el amor por la Filosofia

Dante escribio la Vida nueva a los veintiocho anos de edad, en la misma epoca en la que emprendia la carrera politica que le llevaria a la derrota de su partido y al exilio despues de ocupar cargos politicos en el Comune de Florencia. La obra es el resultado y la sintesis de una actividad literaria que abarca aproximadamente una decada y que hasta entonces se habia desplegado en el ambito de la lirica.El autobiografismo de la Vida nueva no debe ser interpretado como fidelidad documental de episodios realmente acaecidos, sino como exigencia poeticamente reconstructora a la que responde el mito...

The first part of Dante's Divine Comedy, the "Inferno" (or "Hell") begins on the night before Good Friday in the year 1300, "halfway along our life's path." Dante is thirty-five years old, half of the biblical life expectancy of 70, lost in a dark wood, assailed by beasts he cannot evade, and unable to find the straight way to salvation. Conscious that he is ruining himself and that he is falling into a deep place where the sun is silent, Dante is at last rescued by Virgil, and the two of them begin their journey to the underworld. Each sin's punishment in Inferno is a contrapasso, a symbolic...
