Dante Alighieri - Eine Dokumentation zum Einschlafen

Dante Alighieri lost everything: his homeland, his political standing, his future in Florence. Yet from this total loss emerged the Divine Comedy, one of the most important works of world literature. How does an exile become the voice of eternity? This biographical documentary tells the complete story of Dante's life, from his beginnings in medieval Florence through the political catastrophe of exile to the creation of Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. We reveal the poet, the philosopher, and the political thinker behind the myth. You'll learn why Dante forever changed the Italian language, what drove him to embrace the vernacular, why he condemned living popes to hell, and how his verses accompanied Primo Levi centuries later in Auschwitz. A life between loss and creation. Between exile and immortality. 📚 Dante Alighieri, La Divina Commedia, ed. by Giorgio Petrocchi, Mondadori, 1968. 📚 Marco Santagata, Dante: The Novel of His Life, Mondadori, 2010. 📚 John Took, Dante, Princeton University Press, 2020. 📚 Erich Auerbach, Dante as Poet of the Earthly World, De Gruyter, 1929. 📚 Primo Levi, If This Is a Man, Einaudi, 1958.
