The Banquet by Dante Alighieri, Fiction, Classics, Literary

Written in his final days, after the completion of his masterful "Divine Comedy," Dante Alighieri's "The Banquet" presents many of his most compelling thoughts as to how a life of maturity and civility should be conducted.

A fitting sequel to Dante's works celebrating his love for Beatrice, "The Banquet," or "Convivio," sets out to relate all forms of "human" knowledge to the "natural" and "spiritual" realms. True to his talent as a poet, Dante frames many of his philosophic meditations in verse.
