Do you read at least one book a month? If not, then it's sad. After all, what can you talk about with a person who does not read? By reading, we not only learn some lessons for ourselves, but also become more educated and interesting. A book is not only a source of knowledge, but also a helper. You can often find answers to your questions here. Books always appear and appear. Every day there are more and more new writers who have discovered their writing talent. Most often I read modern prose, but do not forget about our classics. Why do they teach classical literature at school? In my opinion, it is precisely because it teaches us how to do and what is better not to do and avoid in our lives. Previously, writers wrote as if for all time. The book seems to be aging, but its uniqueness and readability only increases every year. It is great that earlier books were written that do not bore, which can be reread millions of times and with each time they will "open" to the reader from the other side. Classical writers have always raised topical issues, which is why their works do not lose their relevance to this day.
Each of us has a favorite book after reading, which leaves a vivid impression. Usually, if a person does not have a favorite book, then he has not yet found one that will make his heart beat faster. Most often, books that do not age touch on the theme of love, good and evil, and injustice.
For me, the book that doesn't age is the divine Comedy by Alighieri Dante. I believe that it is precisely in it that the relevant topics are collected, because of which this work can be considered as not aging. The divine Comedy is an immortal work with a deep philosophical meaning. "Comedy" the author called his poem, because in the middle ages Comedy was called every work with a sad beginning and a happy end. The book includes three parts, where the plot about universal injustice, the death of the beloved and the purpose of love is revealed.
The main character of Dante's work. When he goes to Hell, he believes and feels that there is justice. After all, it is there that the earthly sinners are found, who bear God's punishment. With each passing day, the hero begins to lose confidence. Throughout the work, in fact, the journey of the soul through the afterlife is described. Hell is a place for earthly sinners, and Heaven shows the main character that love is not a feeling for a particular person, but love for everything that exists. Dante shows us through his hero not only his own tragedy, but also the world's. When we read the poem, we can see how the hero falls in spirit, rises again and seeks solace.
The most memorable and surprising thing about the book is that his name is not listed anywhere, only on the cover, and the rest of the characters are addressed simply as "you".
The author in the poem highlights such problems as the struggle for an ideal, namely, the ideal for Dante was Christian teaching and his own views, the correlation of the afterlife and the earthly world, death, when his beloved died, the poet was very sad. Namely, "the divine Comedy" is like an attempt to reconnect, even for a short time, with a woman who has been lost forever.
Reading this work caused me many different emotions. I believe that a good book should make you think.
