Dante (Spanish Edition) - Matteo Strukul - Bog

"1288. The city of Florence is in the hands of the Guelph leader Corso Donati, a man blinded by power and thirsty for the blood of his enemies, the Ghibellines. In this dark and convulsed setting lives Dante Alighieri, a brave young man born into a Guelf family and very committed to the political struggles that ravage the region. Although Dante is in love with love itself, poetry, and art, when duty calls him to participate in the decisive Battle of Campaldino, he has no choice but to demonstrate his courage and face his destiny in a fight that will set the course of Italy's history and will leave a profound mark on the heart and life of the poet. The conjunction of horror, the nightmares that he suffers because of barbarism, and the true love that he feels for Beatriz will be the bases on which he will begin to build his magnum opus, The Divine Comedy."--
