About This Item
Riverside, New Jersey, U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster, 2004. Book. New. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Edition. Hardcover binding, 288 pp. Dante Alighieri, exiled from his home in Florence and a fugitive from justice, followed a road in 1302 that took him first to the labyrinths of hell then up the healing mountain of purgatory, and finally to paradise. Here the author of The Princessa: Machiavelli for Women first makes clear how adrift he really was, describing how the medieval exile left everything behind, from his identity to his language. She then takes a parallel tour of Dante's nineteen-year physical journey -- Rome, Siena, the upper Arno, La Verna, Bibiena, Cesena, and the Po plain, as well as Paris and possibly Oxford -- and also his metaphysical one, during which he wrote his "unfathomable heart song," as Thomas Carlyle called The Divine Comedy. New in new dustjacket..
