Review:

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.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover binding, 288 pp. Dante Alighieri, exiled from his home in Florence and a fugitive from justice, followed a road in 1302 that took him first to the labyrinths of hell then up the healing mountain of purgatory, and finally to paradise. Here the author of The Princessa: Machiavelli for Women first makes clear how adrift he really was, describing how the medieval exile left everything behind, from his identity to his language. She then takes a parallel tour of Dante's nineteen-year physical journey -- Rome, Siena, the upper Arno, La Verna, Bibiena, Cesena, and the Po plain, as well as Paris and possibly Oxford -- and also his metaphysical one, during which he wrote his "unfathomable heart song," as Thomas Carlyle called The Divine Comedy. New in new dustjacket. Seller Inventory # 011169
