SKY AND EARTH - GIUSEPPE MUSSARDO GASPARE POLIZ...

700 years after Dante Alighieri's death  this book intertwines the voice of the great poet with
that of an exceptional contemporary  Marco Polo  who was equally curious about the geography of
both earthly and celestial worlds. If Polo was the ordinary genius of the XIII century  the
designation of sorcerer genius must go to Alighieri  the man with encyclopedic wisdom  at ease
with his era's philosophy  theology  and science. The sorcerer genius-well versed in this
world-must create their own  which he did with The Divine Comedy. On the other hand  The
Travels of Marco Polo  the greatest classic in travel literature  offers wonder and provides
delight. This book combines the unforgettable characters of both books  the darkness of the
infernal landscapes with the immensity of the Asian deserts  the richness of the Mongol empire
with the glamor of medieval philosophy  the aspirations and dreams of two great explorers with
knowledge of the science of their time  as well as the ever-eternal cosmology. This is an
accessible and entertaining book for high school students  scholars of scientific history and
the history of ideas  and curious readers who want to know more about Dante and Marco Polo and
their unquenchable thirst for knowledge. This book is a translation of an original Italian
edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation
by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content 
so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
