{"product_id":"2940148747703","title":"Vita Nuova - The New Life [Bilingual Italian-English Edition] - Paragraph by Pargraph Translation","description":"Vita Nuova (The New Life) is a 1295 text by Dante Alighieri, a medieval courtly love written in both prose and verse. Besides its content, it is notable for being written in Italian, rather than Latin; with Dante's other works, it helped to establish the Tuscan dialect in which it is written as the Italian standard.\u003cbr\u003eThe Vita Nuova (The New Life) is the proper introduction to the Divine Comedy. It is the story of the beginning of the love through which, even in Dante’s youth, heavenly things were revealed to him, and which in the bitterest trials of life, — in disappointment, poverty, and exile, — kept his heart fresh with springs of perpetual solace. It was this love which led him through the hard paths of Philosophy and up the steep ascents of Faith, out of Hell and through Purgatory, to the glories of Paradise and the fulfillment of Hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout This Edition\u003cbr\u003eProject Bilingual (a division of Wolf Pup Books) is a continuing project making available great original Italian writers' texts along with their English translation. This edition, which offers after every original language paragraph its translation, makes both grammar and vocabulary checks as painless as possible. Idiomatic forms that could be overlooked can be easily detected.\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, large paragraphs have been broken down to much smaller units so that the check is as effortless as possible. We do hope that by reading Italian writers that defined the language itself or whose work permeated the Italian culture, you will be able to get the maximum benefit from this language series. Although this edition is not a replacement for traditional methods of learning language, it is a very powerful tool to speed up the process once you have attained the intermediate level and beyond.\u003cbr\u003eWolf Pup Books\u003cbr\u003eA Bilingual Ebook Publishing Company","brand":"Wolf Pup Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163472740592,"sku":"2940148747703","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148747703_p0.jpg?v=1763708000","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148747703","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
