TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8419OMELIA II DOMENICA QUARESIMA - ANNO A (Mt 17,1-9) di Padre Stefano M. Miotto Siamo giunti alla seconda Domenica di Quaresima e la prima lettura ci presenta il patriarca Abramo. Invitato da Dio, egli lascia la sua terra, la sua parentela e la casa di suo padre, per andare verso una terra sconosciuta che Dio gli indicherà. II racconto della vocazione di Abramo mette in luce la sua pronta obbedienza alla Volontà di Dio e la sua sconfinata fiducia nell'adempimento delle promesse divine.Dio promette ad Abramo di far di lui una grande nazione e che in lui si diranno benedette «tutte le famiglie della terra» (Gen 12,3). Questa promessa si realizzerà pienamente con Gesù. Con Lui, discendente di Abramo secondo la natura umana, la salvezza è offerta a tutte le nazioni.Abramo parte senza sapere dove andare, animato da una grande fede. Il suo viaggio verso la terra che Dio gli indicherà simboleggia molto bene il nostro pellegrinaggio terreno verso la meta eterna che è il Paradiso. In questo cammino ci sono difficoltà d'ogni genere. Come Abramo, anche noi dobbiamo essere animati da una grande fiducia nelle promesse divine. Se saremo fedeli al Signore, raggiungeremo certamente il termine del nostro cammino.Come Abramo, anche noi dovremo lasciare tutto. Con noi porteremo solo il bene che abbiamo fatto, tutto il resto lo lasceremo su questa terra. Co me Abramo, anche noi dobbiamo essere obbedienti a Dio, compiendo fedelmente la sua Volontà ed evitando il peccato che intralcia il nostro cammino incontro a Lui. Come Abramo, anche noi saremo benedetti, con una benedizione eterna nei CieliIl cammino è lungo e san Paolo, nella seconda lettura di oggi, così esorta Timoteo: «Soffri con me per il Vangelo» (2Tim 1,8). Per rimanere fedele al Vangelo, lungo il non facile cammino di questa vita, e per annunziarlo al mondo, il cristiano deve tener conto che inevitabilmente ci sarà qualcosa da soffrire. L'apostolato di san Paolo fu costantemente contrassegnato dalla croce. Questo non deve però spaventare il fedele discepolo del Signore. Dio - come abbiamo udito nel salmo di oggi - «è nostro aiuto e nostro scudo» (Sal 32,20) e ci sarà accanto nell'ora della prova.In questo cammino è indispensabile una grande fiducia nel Signore, nel suo aiuto onnipotente, e una fervida vita di preghiera, per avere la forza di andare sempre avanti. La necessità della preghiera è messa in luce dal brano del Vangelo che abbiamo prima ascoltato. Gesù condusse in disparte, «su un alto monte» (Mt 17,1), Pietro Giacomo e Giovanni e si trasfigurò davanti a loro, facendo loro scorgere un riflesso della sua Gloria divina.Per i tre Apostoli, l'esperienza della Trasfigurazione fu qualcosa di indimenticabile. Era così grande la loro gioia che avrebbero voluto rimanere lì per sempre, al punto che Pietro chiese di poter fare tre capanne, una per Gesù, una per Mosè e una per Elia. Pietro non aveva ancora compreso che per giungere alla Gloria di Dio bisogna prima passare per la croce. Gesù condusse i tre Apostoli sul monte Tabor, il monte della Trasfigurazione, per fortificarli con l'esperienza della sua Gloria divina, nell'imminenza della sua Passione e Morte in croce. Era bello fermarsi lì, ma gli Apostoli dovettero ridiscendere quel monte e riprendere il cammino dietro Gesù che si incamminava verso un altro monte, quello del Calvario.L'episodio della Trasfigurazione ci insegna la necessità della preghiera. Anche noi dobbiamo salire il "monte della preghiera". Nel silenzio e nel raccoglimento, anche noi faremo una esperienza indimenticabile che darà a noi la forza di andare avanti e di affrontare le inevitabili prove della vita. In questo periodo di Quaresima, troviamo anche noi il tempo per "salire il monte della preghiera". Gesù ci aspetta.Nell'episodio del Vangelo di oggi c'è un altro particolare molto bello: la voce del Padre che dice: «Questi e il Figlio mio, l'amato: in lui ho posto il mio compiacimento. Ascoltatelo» (Mt 17,5). Il Signore ci parla nella preghiera, ispirandoci buoni propositi di miglioramento. Bisogna ascoltarlo. Il Signore ci parla inoltre attraverso la Chiesa, per mezzo dei suoi rappresentanti, iniziando dal Papa. Dobbiamo essere docili al suo Magistero, consapevoli che chi ascolta la Chiesa, e pertanto il Papa, ascolta il Signore.

Federica a rapporto, è mercoledì, sono le 17 e questo è un "AMO, CHE SUZZ?", e se non ti chiami Federica beh tesoro, ci siamo sentite urlare " A CUCCIOLA" per strada tutte quelle volte che hai anche cominciato a firmartici nei tuoi piccoli atti di criminalità quotidiani, tipo da Monatidos aspettando di essere chiamati, o nella firma digitale che Poste Italiane ti chiede di improvvisare su un tablet spesso quanto al pelle di un coccodrillo che farebbe sospettare di essere privo di scolarizzazione primaria anche il più rinomato docente de La Sapienza (RM). E dopo esserti chiesta "ma è Lady Whistledown oggi a scrivere la desk o un gentil omosessuale che sta per fare tardi a lavoro?" andiamo dritti al punto con l'argomento portato da Sandro, anzi due perché la Toro occasionalmente si concede il diletto di essere prolissa, ossia il disastroso speakeraggio che ha accompagnato la cerimonia di apertura delle Olimpiadi che, come tutti ben sappiamo, si è tenuta all'Olimpico con la splendida voce di Matilda De Angelis. Prima di passare il testimone a Lele (Federica beccati questa reference sportiva così smooth da rimanere attoniti) Sandro ci fa sentire conigliette ubbidienti commentando la performance di Bad Bunny al Super Bowl e io Federica ma che ti devo dire? Tu riesci a controllarti? Perché io no; Lele invece (è sempre un trip parlare di sé in terza persona) parla del cherubino romano diventato una Premier biondo freddo con le ali. E allora io ti chiedo Federica, se un cherubino può diventare una Premier, perché ognuno di noi non può essere chi cazzo vuole? Me lo dirai tu sotto i commenti perché sto facendo tardi a lavoroooo. Un beso. IMPORTANTE!!!!! Per il "GUARDALO CON SANDRO" del prossimo mese il film da vedere è "Hamnet - nel nome del figlio" visibile al cinema (Shoutout al cinema) dal 5 febbraio, un'occasione per tornare in sala e poi tornare qui per parlarne insieme.

This bonus episode of The Classical Mind serves as “front matter” to prepare listeners for a three-month reading marathon of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Join Wesley and Junius as they explain that the work is a “comedy” not because of humor, but because of its trajectory: it begins in the darkness of Inferno and ends with the “blessed life” and vision of God in Paradiso. The discussion explores the poem's intricate architecture, consisting of 100 cantos and an interlocking three-line rhyme scheme called terza rima. The hosts emphasize that Dante intentionally wrote the poem to be read using the medieval fourfold method—literal, allegorical, moral (tropological), and eschatological—allowing it to function as both a narrative journey and a transformative spiritual school for the reader.The episode also provides the vital historical and cosmological context required to navigate Dante's world, from the “funnel” of Hell beneath Jerusalem to the mountain of Purgatory on the opposite side of the globe. The hosts explain how the Earth was viewed as the “cosmic dump” at the absolute bottom of a sphere-shaped universe, putting Satan as far from God as possible. Additionally, they break down the 13th-century political strife between the Ghibellines and Guelphs, noting that Dante's own exile as a White Guelph deeply colors the text. By synthesizing the theology of Aquinas and Bonaventure with the classical poetry of Virgil, Dante created an “encyclopedia of medieval thought” that remains a high point of the Western canon.

Dante In this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, UNB Tim sits down with Paul, founder and designer of the upcoming luxury underwear brand Dante Seven. What starts as a conversation about launching a new brand quickly turns into a deep dive into art, literature, religion, shame, sexuality, and the power of storytelling in men's underwear. Paul shares his journey from corporate digital marketing into fashion, how working behind the scenes for a major underwear brand pushed him toward creating something of his own, and why he felt compelled to design a brand that speaks to older men, diverse bodies, and lived experience—rather than chasing trends or OnlyFans aesthetics. Inspired by Dante's Inferno, sculpture, religious iconography, and the Seven Deadly Sins, Dante Seven is built as a fully immersive, premium experience. Paul walks through the philosophy behind the brand's three launch collections—Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso—the creation of the Gabriel Collection, and how sins are reimagined as affirming, empowering traits rather than sources of shame. The conversation also explores community building, chosen family, transparency in manufacturing, and why storytelling matters more than hype. Paul opens up about his background, his motivation for creating a Founder's Circle, and his vision for underwear as art, identity, and connection. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in underwear culture, independent brands, creative risk-taking, and building something meaningful in a crowded space. Topics Covered • From corporate marketing to launching an underwear brand • Creative burnout and choosing a new path • Why Dante's Inferno inspired Dante Seven • The Seven Deadly Sins as empowerment, not shame • Using religion and iconography to challenge norms • Luxury branding vs. price-driven underwear • Designing for older men and real bodies • Founder's Circle and community-first branding • Transparency in production and pre-order launches • Fetish, subtle sexuality, and cinematic storytelling • Why underwear culture thrives on connection Guest Links • Website: https://www.dante7.com • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dante7underwear ⸻ Support UNB • For ongoing support join our Patreon – www.patreon.com/unbblog (You can now join for free) • For one-time support visit our support page – https://www.underwearnewsbriefs.com/about/support-unb/ (Donate via Ko-fi or PayPal) • Or buy from the UNB Store – www.unbstore.com • Gift us something from our wish list – https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/KCJXCDDPU0LI?ref_=wl_share • Buy Amoresy – https://amoresy.com/UNBTIM • Buy BodyAware – https://bodyaware.com?bg_ref=7FgHF6QR1x • Buy Xdress – https://xdress.com?bg_ref=cG6ohBdgUO • Buy Real Men – https://www.rmac.store/TIM77812 Find Out More • Read more at unbblog.com • Follow UNB on • Twitter – https://www.twitter.com/unbblog • Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/unbblog • Reddit – https://www.reddit.com/r/unbstoreandblog/ Follow Tim • Twitter – https://www.twitter.com/unbtim • Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/unbtim • Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/unbtim • BlueSky – https://bsky.app/profile/unbtim.bsky.social • Spandex Party – https://spandexparty.com/unbtim Send feedback or questions to feedback@brieftalkpodcast.com

Beatrice continues to lead Dante toward contrition, pointing out both the purposes of her body (or corpse) and the ways he has failed to followed her lofty beauty.She finishes her second salvo at the pilgrim with a rhetorical flourish, showing the reader (and Dante) that she is a master of rhetoric, someone who commands a high, elevated style of poetry--that is, a fusion of the literal and the metaphoric that will become increasingly necessary to describe the PARADISO experience.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we look at the conclusion of Beatrice's second run at the pilgrim Dante and find the ways that she is directing both him and his poetry.To support the work of this podcast with a small monthly stipend or a one-time gift, please visit this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:09] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXXI, Lines 49 - 63.

In questo nuovo episodio torniamo a camminare nel deserto insieme al popolo di Israele, affrontando un tema fondamentale: il cibo, la sopravvivenza e la fede. Carboidrati e proteine, manna e quaglie: cosa si nasconde davvero dietro la dieta dei viandanti biblici?. Oggi mettiamo a confronto due testi paralleli ma profondamente diversi: Esodo 16 e Numeri 11. Se nel libro dell'Esodo la manna è presentata come un dono liturgico e provvidenziale legato al memoriale del sabato, nel libro dei Numeri lo stesso evento assume tinte più oscure. Qui l'abbondanza richiesta dal popolo – l'avidità di carne – si trasforma da benedizione in giudizio e piaga. Nel corso della puntata esploreremo:La difficoltà della libertà: Perché il popolo mormora contro Dio e contro Mosè? Analizziamo come la mancanza di fede non dipenda dall'assenza di prove, ma dalla difficoltà di accettare un Dio che non segue la nostra agenda.Il deserto come l'Eden: Scopriremo il sorprendente legame tra il deserto e il Paradiso terrestre. Entrambi sono il "luogo della prova", dove la relazione di fiducia con il Creatore viene testata.La lettura cristiana: Come si collegano questi eventi alle tentazioni di Gesù? Vedremo come Cristo, il "nuovo Adamo", supera la prova del pane nel deserto, riuscendo dove Israele aveva fallito.Il contesto storico: Capiremo come questi racconti riflettano le sfide della ricostruzione post-esilio, tra la nostalgia della schiavitù e la fatica di costruire un'identità nuova.Un viaggio tra teologia, storia e psicologia sociale, per riscoprire che l'identità del credente si fonda su due pilastri: la memoria e il riconoscimento del dono gratuito.

Er is iets geks aan de hand in de hitlijsten. Er staan allemaal oude nummers in die zich gedragen alsof ze dit jaar uitgekomen zijn. The Police, Radiohead, She & Him, Drake, allemaal oudjes die ineens weer boven komen drijven. Dat blijkt geen toeval: langzaam wint ‘catalog' muziek terrein ten opzichte van nieuwe releases. Is dat een probleem? En verder: we staan uitgebreid stil bij de ambitieuze verbouwingsplannen van Paradiso. In onze Whatsapp groep?

Il nostro Claudio Chiari ha incontrato Michele Bertolini, direttore del Consorzio Pontedilegno-Tonale, per raccontarci come sta andando la stagione sciistica presso il comprensorio: «Siamo veramente molto contenti, soprattutto in questo periodo abbiamo le settimane bianche con tanti stranieri che vengono a trovarci. Ormai siamo una località internazionale: abbiamo clienti da tutta Europa, ma quest'anno abbiamo anche un po' di America e un po' di Emirati Arabi. Facciamo un grande lavoro su tanti mercati e questo ci premia». L'offerta sportiva a Pontedilegno-Tonale è estremamente variegata e include cento chilometri di piste adatte a ogni livello di esperienza, dai principianti agli esperti. Non mancano i percorsi panoramici, come le discese tecniche tra i boschi di Temù. «La chicca del comprensorio è il Ghiacciaio Presena a 3.000 metri, è il punto più panoramico. Poi c'è anche la pista più storica del comprensorio, la Paradiso: difficile - perché è una nera molto importante - ma davvero molto bella», aggiunge Bertolini. Infine, Michele ha sottolineato l'importanza delle scuole di sci locali nel supportare l'apprendimento dei nuovi sciatori, garantendo un'esperienza completa e accessibile a tutti.

Sarasota County commissioners voted on federal funding for affordable housing yesterday, and it's not good news for two high-profile projects near downtown Sarasota. Next: Immigration enforcement continues to make ripples. For one - an estimated 1,000 protesters rallied in Sarasota, Venice and Englewood this weekend, responding to the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis.Then: The water war at a developer-run community in south Sarasota County's Wellen Park has been settled - but some of the plaintiffs have been thrown under the bus. Suncoast Searchlight brings us this report. Finally: The Van Wezel family has been opposed to plans to put the Purple Cow out to pasture. But now, the proponents of a new performing arts center have managed to get the Van Wezels' grandchildren on their side. We will tell you why they changed their mind.

2025 Maya Angelou Book Award winner Alison C. Rollins joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V. V. Ganeshananthan to discuss her 2024 poetry collection Black Bell. She explores the history and symbolism of a bell-laden iron device used to control and torture enslaved people and describes the replica she created after studying metalworking. She also recounts the story of Harriet Jacobs, who spent seven years hidden in her grandmother's attic before escaping slavery. Rollins talks about how her poems engage in call and response with other texts, including the music of Sun Ra and Stevie Wonder and images connected to ornithology, anatomy, Afrofuturism, and the history of slavery. She reflects on who has historically been granted the title of “poet” in America and discusses the archival research behind her writing.

With her amazing new book, DANTE: THE ESSENTIAL COMMEDIA (Liveright), scholar Prue Shaw brings us a canto-by-canto journey through Dante's masterwork, interweaving translated verses with her commentary, and serving as a Virgil-like guide to the poem. We talk about how she was inspired by John Carey's The Essential Paradise Lost, why the Paradiso was her biggest challenge, how the poem has changed for her over the course of her life, and why she went with prose translations of Dante rather than verse. We get into Dante's balance of pride in his art and his humility before God, the modern sound of Dante's verse and the challenge of translating Italian into English, what she's learning from helping translate Shelley into Italian, why she wants The Essential Commedia to serve as a gateway drug into Dante, and the nature of language & why the Tower of Babel plays a big role in the Commedia. We also discuss her incredible work on third edition of the Digital Commedia, life after the death of her husband, Clive James, and putting a collection of his final poems together, how an issue of the X-Men turned me on to Dante as a kid, my changing views on Ulysses in the Commedia, why sloth is my fave of the deadly sins, and more.

“Stepping out of your old identity will feel scary. But choosing who you want to be is the bravest risk you can take.” — Marko Pfann  Playing it safe can feel logical in an unpredictable market, but in this current creative landscape, safe work is quietly making creatives replaceable. It keeps your work familiar, your opportunities limited, and your identity tied to who you were instead of who you have the potential to become. In this episode of Object Subject Form, creative coach and Paradiso co-founder Marko Pfann joins Simon for a conversation about risk, identity, and the real work behind being seen as an artist. They explore why creatives fall into the safety trap, how imitation dilutes your voice, and why standing out now requires choosing who you want to be long before the world validates you. Marko has spent years helping creatives and studios break out of the patterns that keep them stuck. He once had everything creatives are told to want: seven-figure revenue, huge teams, worldwide branding work, and a stack of awards. On paper he had “made it,” but inside, he felt empty. So he sold his studio and walked away from the safety everyone else expected him to hold onto. Together with Héctor Ayuso, Marko co-founded Paradiso, a creative retreat and community where he helps creatives reconnect to the part we lose under pressure: identity. His work blends psychology, language, and creative strategy to help people reconnect to their inner compass. To the emotional core that gets buried under deadlines, comparison, and fear. Together, Marko and Simon discuss how the industry is shifting. Output is becoming more efficient while trends are collapsing faster. In a world like this, your value comes from what only you can bring: your taste, your language, your lived experience, and the identity you're willing to stand behind. The conversation traces everything from creative bravery to reputation, from personality-led positioning to the mindset shift required to stay relevant. They explore why the biggest studios invest in R&D, why long-form expression builds trust, and why your “voice” is now as important as your portfolio. Whether you're independent, running a studio, or rethinking your next step, this episode offers a grounded path forward. A reminder that creativity is about choosing who you want to be, and having the courage to act on it. – Connect with Marko on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/markopfann/    Discover Paradiso:  https://paradisofest.com/ – Connect with Simon on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonclowes/ – Object Subject Form on Instagram:  https://instagram.com/objectsubjectform

A sun-soaked broadcast from two of Naarm's most loved selectors. Asked once how the name for their joint project started, Simon TK and Edd Fisher responded casually: "We were asked to produce a record fair many moons ago, Wax'o Paradiso was the name of that event," they recounted in an interview. Happy accident or not, the name rings true more than a decade later. What started as a record fair has since evolved into an event series and now a record label, with Fisher and TK becoming true pillars of Naarm's local scene in doing so, crafting paradisiacal musical worlds wherever they go. Wax'o Paradiso is a live act first and foremost. Rarely relying on conventional venues, their parties have become the stuff of urban lore, held everywhere from Fairfield Amphitheatre to an old convent and even a children's farm. Often outdoors, these gatherings carry a breezy, open-hearted feeling, and that flows directly into their sets. Think of it as Australian Balearic: eclectic explorations through warm and rolling shades of dance music, laced with licks of '90s prog and tech house, the spiritual foundation of any good bush doof. Their RA Mix captures the essence of why the pair have become stalwarts of their local circuit. It isn't a recreation of those beloved open-air sessions, but at nearly three hours long, it settles around you like a summer night—and, for listeners in colder climates, perhaps a bittersweet reminder of one. Most tellingly, RA.1014 is bookended by tracks from two Australian artists across two generations. Ten years in, TK and Fisher's focus remains steady: build community, elevate local voices and share the eclectic, joyful sound that has made them a cornerstone of Naarm's scene. Their RA Mix is a clear extension of that mission: warm, generous and rooted in the place they call home. Find the tracklist and interview at ra.co/podcast/10333 @waxo-paradiso

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are diving headfirst into the uncanny with two Alien tales that take the franchise to thrilling new frontiers! First we explore Alien: Earth, FX's chilling reboot of a sci-fi horror classic. Created and showrun by Noah Hawley, this prequel series drops us into the dangerous year 2120, two years before the original Alien, and follows Wendy, a synthetic hybrid, as she confronts corporate conspiracies and Xenomorphic threats on Earth. The stakes are high for the Alien franchise as it makes its television debut. Then we jet to the other side of the galaxy with Alien: Paradiso, the five-issue limited comic series by Steve Foxe, Edgar Salazar, and Peter Nguyen. This time we are at a neon-soaked luxury resort in space where tropical paradise quickly turns into a nightmare. When Colonial Marshals crash the party, they find smugglers, android staff, and soon a bloodthirsty Xenomorph in their midst. Each issue even gives us the alien's point of view through Nguyen's surreal pages. It is privilege, chance, and carnage in full technicolor. Watch tonight at 6:30 pm PT and call in live at www.fantasticforum.live to get in on the conversation. Fantastic Forum, assemble!

“Cinema Paradiso” no es solo una película nostálgica, sino una fábula sobre los riesgos de aferrarse al pasado. Totó, un niño que sueña con el cine, crece, se aleja de su pueblo y vuelve décadas después, solo para descubrir que los recuerdos no siempre coinciden con la realidad. Un capítulo sobre el amor, la pérdida y cómo el cine preserva lo que el tiempo destruye.

Jack is back as we discuss Paradiso, Jack's favorite part of Dante's Divine Comedy. I absolutely love getting to chat with him again (see a couple of earlier episodes linked below). We talk about why he loves Dante in general, and Paradiso in particular. Highlights include:Dante's bravery (or chutzpah!) in writing his poetry and scholarly works in Italian rather than Latin;Who Dante is for (spoiler--it's for YOU), and why (the title of this episode is a big hint!);How people of different ages see Dante in a different light;Why a map of Heaven is really hard to draw, especially compared to Hell and Purgatory.Jack wrote his thesis on part of Paradiso, and he has a lot of experience in the classroom with the Divine Comedy, so he brings a lot of his knowledge to expand on what we've been talking about for the last two weeks.This episode forms a kind of trilogy on Crack the Book: two weeks ago we discussed Inferno, and last week my friend Lisa and I covered Purgatorio. It's my hope that these three podcasts will inspire you to pick up your own copy of the Divine Comedy and jump in.Next week we start Shakespeare...so get ready.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)Crack the Book, Inferno EpisodeCrack the Book, Purgatorio EpisodeCONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

Mitchell Frederick - Paradiso (Original Mix) www.nocturnalradio.live // www.mitchellfrederick.com Close the distance… Lose the time… Paradiso is not a place… it's between your breath and mine. Paradiso… fall into me, Every shadow knows what we need, Paradiso… skin against skin, Open the night, let the silence begin. Eyes locked, rhythm slow, Every pulse a secret we don't show, Hands trace lines we can't erase, Paradiso lives in this space. Take… me… deeper… Take… me… deeper… Paradiso… fall into me, Every shadow knows what we need, Paradiso… skin against skin, Open the night, let the silence begin. Breath on breath… Heat on heat… Paradiso begins when we both repeat. Truth dissolves, only rhythm remains, Nothing outside, just blood in our veins, Bodies aligned in the dark unknown, Paradiso found, but never owned. Paradiso… fall into me, Every shadow knows what we need, Paradiso… skin against skin, Open the night, let the silence begin. Stay… here… Paradiso is now… And nowhere else.

This week it's Dante, and it will be amazing. Full stop. Of all the classics you could read, The Divine Comedy may be one of the most intimidating, but it's also one of the most necessary. In this episode I'll break it down and share how to make the journey approachable. You can do this.We begin with Dante's early autobiographical work, the Nuovo Vitae (“New Life”), a short book of prose and poetry reflecting on his youth and his great love, Beatrice. It's tender, romantic, and surprisingly fun, especially because Dante explains his own poems. For me, it echoed Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy with its mix of prose and verse, but here the focus is entirely on poetry itself.From there, we step into The Divine Comedy, starting with Inferno. This vast poem of 100 cantos (divided among Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso) is written in tercets, here translated by Mark Musa into smooth iambic pentameter. His translation is highly readable and captures the poem's rhythm without forcing rhyme.The journey begins when Dante the Pilgrim finds himself lost “halfway through the journey of our life.” Guided by Virgil, he descends through the nine circles of Hell, encountering mythological figures, historical personages, and unforgettable imagery. The punishments fit the crimes (the doctrine of *contrapasso*): the lustful are blown by winds, fortune tellers walk with twisted heads, flatterers choke forever on filth.I'll share tips for reading Dante without getting bogged down: read quickly, jot a one-line summary of each canto, sketch a map of Hell, and above all, focus on Dante's evolving relationship with Virgil. More than an epic, Inferno is a story of finding yourself in darkness and but not staying there—and having a friend to help you. Next to the Odyssey and the Bible, this is one of the books that merits your effort.This is a year-long challenge! Join me next week for Purgatorio.LINKSTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm
