Summary
Book 1
Dante's genius lay not only in his breathtaking imagination but also in his revolutionary decision to write in the vernacular, elevating the Tuscan dialect to the status of a literary language and earning him the title "father of the Italian language." His influence endures through the centuries, inspiring poets, artists, and thinkers, and continues to shape our understanding of justice, faith, and the eternal human quest for meaning. This is the story of Dante Alighieri, a man whose life was a testament to the power of words and whose shadow, cast long from the heart of Florence, continues to illuminate the world.
