      I thank you all for doing this for humanity freely. This work is a work of wisdom based in the past. Poetically beautifully wise. Only made for us now to listen freely.

      Can you tell us anything about the choral singing? Was it done by your cast (specifically, Shakira Searlek?) or is it from another source? Anybody?

      Virgil also tried to rid his work, but Augustus saved the work, it brings to mind after Athens' fall, criticisms of democracy such as Plato, who even rid his Republic of ALL poets, ruled by a philosopher-king forget democracy, one has to wonder, I think!
      Still, in the arena of creative dreamers enjoyed by the new agers, forgetting what all came before, this work asks the tough questions. Thank you.

    I appreciated this dramatization, and the volunteers who contributed. I am able to identify with many of the characters and I appreciate the variety of voices to relate to. Given the world political stage, it is easy to see from those who populate the inferno, that little has changed politically. And be thankful if you live in a society or community where love is love, regardless of who you choose to love. But do strive to be kind and to do no harm, and make amends in this life. I do hope something better awaits us on the other side. That there will remain a last phase of perfection like a butterfly struggling to escape its chrysalis. And that there will be no hint of the evil and injustice found here. And if it continues to exist that it will be kept apart and contained in its own place so that it only has itself to make miserable.

      The book talks about how dante and a dead poet by the name of vigil are instructed by dantes dead girlfriend Beatrice to take a trip to hell purgatory and heaven so dante can cure himself of his sins. Of course dante and virgil,on their way meat people in all three places,see weird things and get into all sorts of shinanigace and at the end dante sees God hope this is simple to understand 🙂

    Translating such an enormous piece of literature is a titanic effort. You should definitely read it in Italian. In English almost everything gets lost.

    • @uncleivanovich
      @uncleivanovich 7 років тому +6

      I studied it at the high school and it took me three years, one for each cantica. The Divina Commedia is a summa of the medieval culture and all those who want to seriously study it should learn Italian. There's no other way. I've red an English translation some years ago and I felt it was like explaining to a blind man what colours look like.

    • @kerribell3837
      @kerribell3837 3 роки тому +4

      From what I have read is that Dante was inspired by the sad love story between Francesca Da Polenta & Paolo. This inspired Dante to have a vision of Paolo tenderly embracing Francesca to protect her against the forces swirling about them in Hades. It's my favorite love story, it's truly sadness!!! 💔
      Hope that helps😊

      Become cultured and learn Victorian English. Or start reading olde English-style scriptures. It is more useful than most people think.
