A Great Short Story About the Joy of Discovery
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2021

 

This is a beautiful short read about the beginning of a journey, how immersing yourself in a great book can open up a whole new world of meaning for you. Emerson really captures the feeling of a spark igniting the spirit, and through the narrator's personal journey we become inspired to discover more of the world and its culture and history.

"Ein kurzes, aber knackiges Buch über Dante, Espresso und wie sich der Mensch von Tag zu Tag, von Seite zu Seite verändern kann. Schön geschrieben und macht nachdenklich. Außerdem hat man danach ein starkes Verlangen, in Italien Espresso zu trinken und dabei den Marktplatz zu beobachten. Sehr empfehlenswert."

In this third episode on the background for Dante's Epistle I to Cardinal Niccolò da Prato in 1304, we'll look at the events and chaos that came after the French Prince Charles of Valois entered Florence in November 1301. 

 

Dante's first sentence of Exile was on January 27th, 1302, the second decree on March the 10th, and the final banishment of over 600 Bianchi was declared in April,1302.

 

In a little over two years, the Black Guelphs had taken full control of the city of Florence, but at a very high price, and the tensions between Pope Boniface VIII and the French King Philip the Fair had also increased.

 

Dante is now in Exile, in which he will remain for the rest of his life.
