Je cherchais ma consolation sur la terre

"IN the midway of this our mortal life,

I found me in a gloomy wood, astray

Gone from the path direct: and e'en to tell

It were no easy task, how savage wild

That forest, how robust and rough its growth,

Which to remember only, my dismay

Renews, in bitterness not far from death.

Yet to discourse of what there good befell,

All else will I relate discover'd there."

This epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between c. 1308 and his death in 1321 is widely considered the preeminent work of Italian literature, and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature. The Divine Comedy serves as the physical (scientific), political, and spiritual guidebook of Dante's Fourteenth Century universe. The poem's imaginative and allegorical vision of the afterlife is a culmination of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church. It helped establish the Tuscan dialect, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language. It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. On the surface, the poem describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven; but at a deeper level, it represents allegorically the soul's journey towards God. At this deeper level, Dante draws on medieval Christian theology and philosophy, especially Thomistic philosophy and the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas. Consequently, the Divine Comedy has been called "the Summa in verse".

Le deuxième tome de cette grande épopée poétique nous fait visiter, après l'Enfer, le Purgatoire. Dante est toujours guidé par la poète latin Virgile, qui représente la Raison, jusqu'au XXXe chant, où il trouve la douce et vertueuse Béatrice qui l'accueille, le juge, pardonne et le conduit au Paradis.

La divine comédie - Tome 2 - Le Purgatoire

La "Vida nueva" es la primera obra conocida de Dante Alighieri, escrita en el último decenio del siglo XIII, poco después de la muerte de su amada Beatriz. Cuarenta y dos capítulos en los que Dante alterna poesía y prosa, relatando la renovación vital que experimenta el autor al enamorarse. El sentimiento amoroso no realizado aparece como una revelación que, conduciendo a la superación y el olvido de uno mismo, se convierte en una fuente de felicidad. La devoción amorosa se percibe como una felicidad alcanzada, es el efecto de una pasión que da felicidad y se justifica al liberarse de todo aquello que no depende de ella.

La Divine Comédie

So many versions of the Divine Comedy exist in English that a new one might well seem needless. But most of these translations are in verse, and the intellectual temper of our time is impatient of a transmutation in which substance is sacrificed for form's sake, and the new form is itself different from the original. The conditions of verse in different languages vary so widely as to make any versified translation of a poem but an imperfect reproduction of the archetype. It is like an imperfect mirror that renders but a partial likeness, in which essential features are blurred or distorted. Dante himself, the first modern critic, declared that "nothing harmonized by a musical bond can be transmuted from its own speech without losing all its sweetness and harmony, " and every fresh attempt at translation affords a new proof of the truth of his assertion. Each language exhibits its own special genius in its poetic forms. Even when they are closely similar in rhythmical method their poetic effect is essentially different, their individuality is distinct. The hexameter of the Iliad is not the hexameter of the Aeneid. And if this be the case in respect to related forms, it is even more obvious in respect to forms peculiar to one language, like the terza rima of the Italian, for which it is impossible to find a satisfactory equivalent in another tongue.

The Divine Comedy: Hell

Voyage parmi les morts, tableau politique de l'Italie, de l'Antiquité au xive siècle, manuel de théologie, réquisitoire contre la corruption des puissants et la décadence des papes, La Divine Comédie est aussi un fabuleux roman d'aventures, qui, par ses visions d'horreur et d'extase, a marqué peintres, poètes, romanciers et cinéastes jusqu'à nos jours. Pour en permettre une lisibilité rapide, cette nouvelle version en octosyllabes tente de retrouver la légèreté vivante et vibrante d'un style éternellement moderne, où s'entremêlent noblesse savante et insolence populaire. Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) est né dans une Florence en guerre, lors d'une des périodes les plus agitées de l'Europe, que se disputaient l'Église, l'Empire romain germanique, la France. Son œuvre poétique, linguistique, théologique et politique a déterminé à jamais la littérature italienne. René de Ceccatty, à côté de son travail personnel de romancier et d'essayiste, a traduit de nombreux ouvrages classiques et contemporains du japonais, en compagnie de Ryôji Nakamura, et de l'italien (Pasolini, Moravia, Leopardi, Michel-Ange, Pétrarque, Saba, Penna).
