Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), padre de la lengua italiana, invirtió doce anos de su vida en escribir la Divina Comedia. Dos hechos biográficos -la muerte de su amada Beatriz y el exilio de su ciudad, Florencia- le sumieron en un estado de incertidumbre y desilusión que sólo logró superar a través de una poesía universalizante que dejó a las generaciones venideras una obra plena de belleza e inmortalidad, base de la literatura alegórica medieval. En la Divina Comedia Dante pretende decir lo que nunca ha sido dicho de mujer alguna: la exaltación del triunfo celestial de la amada, la expresión de un amor que transciende las dimensiones físicas de este mundo y se convierte en pura espiritualidad. El resultado final es un fantástico viajes hacia la redención que abarca todo el argumento existencial, desde la creación del hombre hasta su destino final, la divinidad. Angel Chiclana, de la Universidad Complutense, ofrece en su edición una auténtica guía de lectura, adaptando nuestra sensibilidad moderna a la ideología y la estética medievales y familiarizándonos con los personajes, acontecimientos, instituciones, fuentes literarias y el complejo teológico y filosófico del autor de esta obra cumbre de la literatura universal.
