Il poema è diviso in tre parti, chiamate «cantiche» (Inferno, Purgatorio e Paradiso), ognuna delle quali composta da 33 canti (tranne l'Inferno, che contiene un ulteriore canto proemiale) formati da un numero variabile di versi, fra 115 e 160, strutturati in terzine.

La sua rappresentazione immaginaria e allegorica dell'oltretomba cristiano è un culmine della visione medievale del mondo sviluppatasi nella Chiesa cattolica. ...

Era una giornata freddissima del mese di febbraio, e nella città di P…, nel Kentucky ad ora già avanzata due gentlemen, seduti col bicchiere in mano in una ricca sala da pranzo, liberi dall’incomoda presenza dei servi, discorrevano con molto calore sopra un argomento di alta importanza.Abbiamo detto due gentlemen, ma per modo di dire; perché uno di essi, attentamente osservato, a tutto rigore non appariva tale.Era bassotto e atticciato, aveva lineamenti comuni e grossolani; il suo fare pretenzioso e superbo mostrava l’uomo plebeo che agogna di uscire dalla sua sfera.Il panciotto ...

Dante's short correspondence in verse with Giovanni del Vergilio was only published in 1719, but is believed to have been written at some point in the last years of the poet's life. What we have are two poems by Dante and the answers by Iohannes (Giovanni's Latin name), all in Latin hexameters, emulating the style of Vergil. Even though the works were named after Vergil's bucolic poetry, the poems also echo the Georgics and the Aeneid, and are truly a masterpiece by a master of poetry. In this audiobook, we present the four poems in the original Latin, each followed by its translation by H.E. ...

Chamber Music is a collection of poems by James Joyce, first published in May of 1907. The collection originally comprised thirty-four love poems, but two further poems were added before publication ("All day I hear the noise of waters" and "I hear an army charging upon the land").Although the poems did not sell well, they received some critical acclaim.

A tale of passion and vengeance set in the bleak Yorkshire moors, Wuthering Heights depicts the mutual love of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff till destruction and death rend the narration. There is no place for remorse in our antihero's breast as he sets about ruining the lives of those he considers responsible for his own misery.
