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.

Großartig
Reviewed in Germany on October 20, 2021

 

"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."

- Konstantin Rosenberger

In this episode we'll look at the historical events of the 12 hundreds, with the rise of the Merhcant class and the rivalries between families in Florence. This is a very important backdrop to understand more of how Dante's outlook on the World was shaped in his first 35 years, and the conditions and tensions he was caught up in between, when he became a Prior of the City, in the Summer of 1300.
