About the Author

Son of an exiled Florentine clerk, Petrarch was born in Arezzo, Italy, but was raised at the court of the Pope in Avignon in southern France. He studied the classics in France and continued his education at the University of Bologna in Italy. Less than a year after his return to Avignon in 1326, mostrar mais Petrarch fell in love with the woman he referred to as Laura in his most famous poetry. Although he never revealed her true name, nor, apparently, ever expressed his love to her directly, he made her immortal with his Canzoniere (date unknown), or songbook, a collection of lyric poems and sonnets that rank among the most beautiful written in Italian, or in any other language. Like the major Italian poet Dante Alighieri, Petrarch chose to write his most intimate feelings in his native Italian, rather than the Latin customary at that time. Petrarch used Latin for his more formal works, however. He incorrectly assumed that he would be remembered for the Latin works, but it was his Italian lyric poetry that influenced both the content and form of all subsequent European poetry. Petrarch's sonnet form was prized by English poets as an alternative to English poet William Shakespeare's sonnet form. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Francesco Petrarca or Petrarch is called the father of Italian humanism. His earliest years were spent in Tuscany. His father, a law clerk, moved the family to Pisa and later to Avignon, France, then a seat of the Papacy. He was trained at the universities of Montpellier and Bologna for the legal profession but disliked it as a career and instead devoted himself to literature. He took minor clerical orders and entered the service of Cardinal Colonna. It was at Avignon in 1327 that Petrarch saw for the first time Laura, the lady who was to be the inspiration of his famous love poetry. His work was admired throughout Europe and became a model for other writers such as Boccaccio and Dante. Both Laura and Cardinal Colonna died in 1348; Petrarch thereafter became dedicated to the cause of Italian unification, pleaded for the return of the Popes to Rome, and served the Visconti family of Milan.

Críticas

Non penso che ci sia un modo di esprimersi in così poco spazio riguardo quest'opera enorme.
Scriverò sicuramente qualcosa di più approfondito.

"Súbito allor, com'acqua 'l foco amorza,
d'un lungo et grave sonno mi risveglio:
et veggio ben che 'l nostro viver vola
et ch'esser non si pò più d'una volta.."

[Petrarca, Canzoniere, CCCLXI]

Remedios para la vida reúne treinta y cinco de las recomendaciones más incisivas concebidas por Petrarca en su De remediis utriusque fortunæ—escrito entre 1354 y 1366—para el escarmiento de los prósperos y el consuelo de los desdichados. En ellas, las principales pasiones del alma entablan un diálogo con la razón sobre el fruto, bueno o malo, de los diversos aspectos de la vida: los atributos del cuerpo y el alma, las distracciones, la educación, el arte, los parientes, los amigos, el poder, la guerra, la posición social, la salud, el dinero, el amor y la muerte, entre muchos otros. Una selecta summa moral que pone las armas de la filosofía al servicio del ser humano.… (mais)
