His use of the Florentine dialect established it as the basis for modern Italian. His late medieval epic, \u003ci\u003eThe Divine Comedy\u003c\/i\u003e, was above all inspired, as was all his poetry, by his unrequited love for Beatrice, a woman he may have seen only from afar. He died in 1321, having completed his great work, yet an exile from his native city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 960\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6 x 8.1 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 1995\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53886307041613,"sku":"9780679433132","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/0mazxqNBEV9780679433132.webp?v=1778586621","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/the-divine-comedy-inferno-purgatorio-paradiso-in-one-volume-introduction-by-eugenio-montale-hardcover","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
