SUMMARY:La divina Commedia. Viaggio al centro dell'uomo
DESCRIPTION:cycle «Littératures en traduction»Carlos Gatti : 'La divina 
 Commedia. Viaggio al centro dell'uomo' (en italien) We should be aware th
 at writing a book like Dante’s Divine Comedy would be an impossible task
  nowadays. In the first place\, because one should be not only a great wri
 ter\, like Tolstoy or Joyce or Proust but also a great scientist like Leon
 ardo da Vinci or Stephen Hawking. One should also have the plastic imagina
 tion of Michelangelo and the ear for music of Liszt. All this wrapped up i
 n the comprehensive and unitarian view of the world of St. Thomas Aquinas 
 or Aristotle and the biblical scholarship of St. Jerome (contrary to what 
 Harold Bloom thinks). Finally\, one should have the taste for abstraction 
 of abstract art and the taste for virtuality of computer graphics\, as Umb
 erto Eco likes to point out.This does not mean that a person of our time c
 annot enjoy this monument of a book. Since Romanticism\, interest in the D
 ivine Comedy has grown exponentially and we can say now that the influence
  of Dante’s work on readers\, writers and critics has even permeated to 
 popular culture (as Ridley Scott’s film Hannibal and some video games sh
 ow). Why is the Divine Comedy great and beautiful? Probably because a comp
 lex and portentous world vision served a great artist that commanded a gre
 at range of means to express it. One can feel in the Commedia the heart-be
 at ofHumanity\, both at its worse and at its best. Dante’s trip to the a
 fter-world is\, really\, a trip to this world\, our world\, with all its c
 omplexity and its force.
