Infierno: (Incluye Descodificando a Dante) (Mayor Ser.)
by Dante AlighieriEl Infierno de Dante ha sido considerado el último gran texto épico de la Edad Media y el primero del Renacimiento. El Infierno de Dante ha sido considerado el último gran texto épico de la Edad Media y el primero del Renacimiento. Escrito a principios del siglo XIV, es la parte inaugural del proyecto magno dantesco: la Divina Comedia, un largo poema dividido en 99 cantos que describe el viaje alegórico de Dante desde el Infierno hasta el Paraíso, pasando por el Purgatorio, en busca de la fe, la redención y la iluminación. En el Infierno, Dante es guiado por Virgilio, el guardián de los saberes antiguos, y encuentra en cada uno de los círculos infernales a pecadores «pasados, presentes y futuros» de todo tipo. Esta aventura iniciática, que el poeta aprovecha para pasar cuentas con sus enemigos coetáneos, en lo político y lo religioso, esconde también en su núcleo y estructura un secreto que legiones deestudiosos han tratado de desvelar. Esta edición, que recupera una magnífica traducción en verso y se apoya en un rico aparato de notas, se abre asimismo con una nueva y esclarecedora introducción que ofrece una clave de lectura insólita: Dante como el depositario de un saber hermético, como la punta de lanza de una sociedad secreta cuyas raíces llegan hasta la esencia del cristianismo y cuyas ramas rozan la materia de nuestros días.
