"Na! Yi-kun, Amaterasu-chan and the others have been gone for a few days, right? I wonder if Amaterasu-chan and Shiyu-chan have solved that matter? ”

Mie Sato said very boredly lying on the table with one hand supporting her chin and looking out the window into the distance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hawkers,Who knows.,To be honest, I'm really not used to Yu Xiao Lori and Amaterasu not being around!"

Hearing Mie Sato's words, Jian Yi also missed the two little Lori.

If Shi Yu was here at this time, he would definitely pester himself to ask for wave candy, and Amaterasu would also fight with Shi Yu.

And now, Jian Yi took out a wave candy and held it in his hand and looked at the wave candy in a daze.

"Na! Sister Zi, what are you reading? ”

Kujou Nana found that Tsuchigomon Purple was holding a book and was fascinated by it at this time, and asked with some curiosity.

"Huh? Is Nana talking about this book? This is what I just found in the study, and I thought it was interesting, so I decided to check it out. ”

After hearing Kujo Nana's words, Tsuchigomon Zi handed the book to Kujo Nana.

"Huh? Interesting? Let me see. ”

Nana Kujo took the book that Tsuchigomon Murasaki handed to her, and looked at it, and found that it was actually Dante's "Divine Comedy" written in Italian.

"I think the text is pretty good, but why don't I understand what it means?"

Nana Kujo read and read this part, and I couldn't understand what was written.

"I don't understand, I can't read a word of Italian."

Tsuchigomon Purple suddenly said to Nana Kujo with some embarrassment.

"Huh? That Sister Zi is still so fascinated by it, and she still says it's funny? ”

Kujou Nana said as she looked at Tsuchigomon Purple with wide eyes.

"Although I can't understand it, I don't know why, as soon as I see these sentences, I will have some inexplicable strange feelings in my heart, and I can't tell what that feeling is."

Tsuchigomon Zi turned out the "Divine Comedy" from Kujo Nana's hands again, and opened this "Divine Comedy" again.

"Huh? Did Miss Kujo and Miss Tsuchiomon like this book too? ”

At this time, Alice didn't know when she came to Kujo Nana and Tsuchigomon Murasaki.

"Hello Sister Alice!"

"Hello!"

After greeting each other, Tsuchimon Murasaki closed the book and said to Alice.

"Did Sister Alice like this book too? But we can't understand it, and it's a pity. ”

"My sister likes the book "The Divine Comedy" very much, and I especially like Dante, who wrote this book, and, speaking of which, my sister met this poet in Florence at that time, and I miss it a little!"

As she spoke, Alice seemed to be starting to fall into her memories.

"So, can Sister Alice help us decipher the book? Please! ”

Suddenly, Tsuchiyomon stood up and bowed to Alice in pleading.

"Well, okay, sister, let's tell you about Dante and the book slowly......"

Through Alice's explanation, Tsuchigomon Murasaki and Kujo Nana gradually understood some things.

Dante was born into a noble family in Florence in 1265. According to his description of himself in the poem as "born under the constellation Gemini", it was later inferred that he was born in late May or mid-June.

When Dante was born, the family had already begun to decline, and he lost his father at an early age, so his life was poor.

Dante's mother had an important influence on Dante's life. Although his family was in disarray, he attached great importance to Dante's education, and sent him to study Latin and classical literature, and even sent him to Paris for further study.

In a good learning environment, Dante loved poetry from an early age and read the works of ancient Roman poets such as Virgil, Horace, and Ovid.

At the same time, he has a strong interest in aesthetics, music, and political science. Interest is the driving force for the acquisition of knowledge, and it is because of these motivations that Dante absorbed a wide range of knowledge, which was the basis for him to become a great scholar of both talents and talents.

And in Dante's life there were two things that had a great impact on him. The first is teenage love.

In the spring of 1274, at a banquet, Dante met Betty Licai, who was beautiful and extraordinary, dressed in red, and fell in love with her at first sight, which he will never forget.

In Dante's heart, Betilla has always been his lover. One day, nine years later, Dante met Bertillia, dressed in white, on the street. When Dante was at a loss, Betty Licai took the initiative to greet him, and Dante felt like he was in paradise. But since then, Dante has never seen her again.

Later, at the age of 21, she married a banker. Soon something even more unfortunate happened, and Betty Licai died.

Dante was so grief-stricken that he felt like everything had lost his life. The year after Betty Licai's death, Dante wrote a collection of poems entitled "New Life" in order to remember and praise the lover in his heart, and to express his sincere love for her.

Dante sees Betti Licai as an angel from heaven, the embodiment of ideals and morals, and praises her in the poem as "the embodiment of love", with indescribable tenderness and elegance.

Therefore, in addition to the world-famous "Divine Comedy", "Rebirth" is Dante's most important work, and at the same time, it also strengthened the creative foundation of "Divine Comedy".

The second thing that had the greatest influence on Dante was that he became active in the political struggle in Florence and was exiled by rival parties in 1302.

In the 13th century, Italian industry and commerce were relatively developed, and the struggle between the emerging burghers and the feudal aristocracy was fierce. Florence was both the economic and political center of the time, and the struggle was fierce.

In addition, it was not long after the end of polytheistic rule in Italy at that time, and Italy happened to be very close to the demon world, so there were not a few demons operating in Italy at that time.

Not only that, but there were also many demons who took the form of humans and personally participated in the political struggles in Italy and Florence.

In 1266, the political situation in Florence began to change, and the nobility and burghers divided the power equally, and there was a republican government of 12 "consuls" of noble origin and a council of 100 new industrial and commercial citizens.

The members of the town council had the power of legislation and supervision, and its members had to be members of the most powerful trade associations of the time, such as the Bar Association, the Banking Association, the Medical Association, etc. Dante's family has long since fallen, but he still manages to enter the Medicine Guild.

In 1300, Dante attended the highest administrative council in Florence as a representative of the Medical Guild, and was eventually elected one of the six magistrates.

At that time, Dante was in the Guilf party, and shortly after he was elected administrator, the Guilf's party split into two factions, one white and the other black. The Black Party was a conservative aristocracy and supported the Pope; The White Party was an emerging businessman who opposed the Pope.

Dante was not only a member of the White Party, he opposed the Pope, supported the establishment of the Florentine Republic, and was the leader of the White Party, which made him troubled.

In 1302, the Black and White Party won the victory, seized the power of the republic, and brutally suppressed the White Party. Not only did they confiscate all of Dante's possessions, but they also exiled him for life, forbidding him to return to his country. Dante lived in exile ever since.

After some revolt, in 1304, Dante realized that his hopes of returning home were slim and decided to write a book.

He chose to settle in Ravenna, where he settled down and devoted most of his energy to the Divine Comedy. There is an inseparable link between this exile and the Divine Comedy.

In 1315, the Florentine government stated that Dante would return to his home country if he could make a confession and pay a certain fine. But how could Dante, who was upright, listen to such a dishonorable arrangement, and in contrast, he would rather live in a foreign land than tolerate the trampling of his dignity.

Dante, who was wandering and bumpy, tirelessly studied history, geography, and philosophy, and also experienced the suffering, sorrow, and grief of the world, and felt even more the necessity of the reunification of the motherland.

At this time, he misses Biadis even more, and he decides to use the epic to create a monument for Biadris, on which he wants to engrave his love and hate, as well as his sins and responsibilities to society. In this way, he wants to show people how to get to the other side of happiness and happiness.

Dante spent almost all of his wandering time completing the world-famous masterpiece The Divine Comedy. The Divine Comedy has had a profound impact in Italy and in the world.

The "Divine Comedy" is divided into three parts: "Hell", "Purgatory", and "Heaven", each with 33 songs, plus an overture, exactly 100 songs.

And the passage that Kujo Nana just read is part of the "Hell" chapter of the "Divine Comedy".

In the poem, Dante describes in the first person that after waking up in the dark forest, he lost his way and began a fantasy journey.

After encountering the jackal, the lion and the wolf, he was terrified, and at this time, the ancient Roman poet Virgil, whom Dante admired the most, came to the rescue.

With Virgil's help, Dante travels through hell and purgatory. There are nine levels of hell, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like a big funnel, and anyone who has done bad things in their lifetime, whether it is the pope or ordinary people, will be punished in hell.

Dante's descriptions of hell are not accurate, and are very similar to Plato's description of hell in the Republic.

The sins of the soul in purgatory are lighter, it floats on the sea, and it is divided into seven levels. After purgatory, Virgil retreats, and Dante's sweetheart, Betty Licai, comes to meet him, and he enters Paradise. Heaven is also divided into nine layers, and above the nine layers is the ideal state of human life, a place full of love.

Although the Divine Comedy depicts Dante's dreamlike vision, it is a reflection of reality. There is a strong sense of love and hatred in Dante's beautiful poems.

Dante's Hell is a society ruled by popes and clergy dressed in religious clothing, because the polytheistic era has just ended, and the Church in Florence and Italy is very unstable. In order to develop the church, they are doing shady things everywhere, and people's lives are miserable and miserable.

Purgatory is the only way for people to enter heaven. Heaven is the ideal realm that people dream of.

In 1321, just after the completion of the Divine Comedy's Paradise, Dante fell ill and died in Ravenna on September 14 of that year.

Dante also proposes the spirit of freedom in the Divine Comedy, and he celebrates free thought and free love.

Dante borrowed Virgil's words to say that freedom is a treasure worth exchanging for life; With free will, people can create and enjoy life; And free love is a state of perfection to be achieved.

…………

"I think I probably know how I feel."

After thoroughly understanding the story of the Divine Comedy and Dante, Tsuchigomon suddenly understood what he felt in his heart, which was the silence and deep admiration for a great soul who had died in a foreign land.

"Dante's life is so pitiful!"

Nana Kujou also nodded, and at this time she opened the "Divine Comedy" again.

From here, lead to the city of misery.

From me, straight to endless suffering.

From me, go straight to fallen beings.

The Divine Judgment inspired the Monarch who made me in the heavens;

The power that made me is the power of God,

It is the result of supreme wisdom and love.

I am immortal forever; ―Before me,

Everything is invisible, only eternal things exist.

Whoever comes, let all hope be thrown away.

At this moment, Nana Kujo read these sentences, and she was no longer as ignorant as she was at the beginning.

She seemed to see the lonely and lonely figure, at a loss in hell, so pitiful, so regrettable......
