Il titolo ha diversi significati, in primo luogo indica la vita giovanile. A questo si aggiunge però il significato più profondo di una vita rinnovata dalla presenza miracolosa di Beatrice e dell'amore. Né si può escludere che Dante abbia voluto alludere alla novità e all'originalità dell'opera. Di recente, dopo la nuova edizione a cura di Guglielmo Gorni, che riproponeva la valenza del titolo "vita rinnovata dall'amore", è stato segnalato da Alberto Casadei[6] che "vita nova" è sintagma presente in Agostino, Tommaso e altri padri della Chiesa, e l'espressione "incipit vita nova" può ...

Io sono il dottore di cui in questa novella si parla talvolta con parole poco lusinghiere. Chi di psico-analisi s’intende, sa dove piazzare l’antipatia che il paziente mi dedica. Di psico-analisi non parlerò perché qui entro se ne parla già a sufficienza. Debbo scusarmi di aver indotto il mio paziente a scrivere la sua autobiografia; gli studiosi di psico-analisi arricceranno il naso a tanta novità. Ma egli era vecchio ed io sperai che in tale rievocazione il suo passato si rinverdisse, che l’autobiografia fosse un buon preludio alla psico-analisi.Gli audiolibri tratti da ...

"The Book of Obadiah is found in both the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, where it is the shortest book, only one chapter long. Its authorship is generally attributed to a person named Obadiah, which means “servant (or worshipper) of the Lord”. Obadiah is classified as a "minor prophet" in the Christian Bible due to the brevity of the writing (only 21 verses) and the content (prophetic material). An Old Testament prophet was (professedly) not only a person who was given divine insight into future events, but a person whom the Lord used to declare his word. The ...

In the Hebrew Bible, the Book of Jonah is the fifth book in a series of books called the Minor Prophets. Unlike other prophetic books however, this book is not a record of a prophet’s words toward Israel. Instead of the poetry and prophetic prose of Isaiah or Lamentations, this book tells the story of a reluctant prophet who arguably becomes one of the most effective prophets in the entire Bible.

The book may be divided into three sections: Chapters 1–3 mainly consist of oracles of judgment. Chapters 4–5 of oracles of hope. Chapters 6–7 begins with judgment and moves to hope. Chapters 1–3 mainly consist of oracles of judgment. The judgment motif is so strong in this book that Micah only preached about judgment. Judgment in Micah is seen in the destruction of Samaria, in the coming of an invader against Jerusalem, in the greedy land-grabbers' loss of their land and in their being abandoned by Yahweh, in shame for the false prophets, in the siege of Jerusalem and the cleaning of ...

L'Inferno, la più conosciuta delle tre parti della Divina Commedia, fu scritta mentre il poeta era esiliato dalla sua città di Firenze. Questa sezione del poema descrive il viaggio di Dante attraverso l'Inferno, guidato dal poeta Virgilio. È un viaggio che si svolge tra persone cadute in peccato mortale, illustrandone le conseguenze (per i peccatori) in tutto il suo orrore e la sua miseria.
