Dante / Divine Comedy
Hello,
My book today is The Divine Comedy, which is considered the most important work of Italian literature.
In the Divine Comedy, Dante is the hero of the story and tells about his post-mortem journey through Hell, Purgatory and Heaven respectively.
The story of the journey takes place during Easter week in 1300. In the first scene, he heads towards hell. In the meantime, he encounters mythological characters and well-known old powerful people of Tuscany. Then, while climbing to Purgatory, he talks to the old dignitaries. These people wait in Purgatory before entering heaven.
While the Roman poet Vergilius guides Dante on his journeys to Hell and Purgatory, at the top of Purgatory, Virgil leaves this task to Dante's ideal woman, Beatrice. Beatrice is the Florentine woman whom Dante met only twice in his youth, whom he could not forget and whom he dedicated to as "the sun of my eyes". Beatrice guides Dante and takes him to the sky, the source of divine light.
It is not very easy to understand the work, I have read the Homeric epics and Yordam Kitap's manga type book among many recommended preparatory books. There are footnotes on every page of the work, but a lot of knowledge of Italian history is required to master them.
On the other hand, the @oglakkitap edition with the translation of Rekin Teksoy is magnificent, and the awards it has received are an indication of this situation. He was deemed worthy of the Translation Award by the Italian Senate for his translation of The Divine Comedy into Turkish for the first time in the form of poetry. Again, Rekin Teksoy is a name awarded with the title of Knight by the Italian Presidency for translating the Decameron completely into Turkish for the first time.
It is very significant that Damte, who described his death journey, died shortly after completing the work.
It's a heavy text, even though I think I couldn't read it properly, it's a great blessing for me🩵
#myquotes
“The stars in the sky go out one by one
The most beautiful star goes out last.”
“O immortal flowers of eternal happiness that transform their thousands of scents into a single scent,
Because I can't find food on earth
Deliver me with your words from the famine that has plagued me for so long.”
“Woe to those unbelieving beings who turn their hearts away from such goodness and turn their minds to vain things.”
