4.9/5 (17059 ratings)

Description:"Lo Somni" (The Dream) is a dream allegory divided into four chapters or books. It was written ca. 1399 and is considered Bernat Metge s best work. It is extremely innovative within the context of Catalan (and Iberian Peninsular) literature of the 1300 s. It consists of a dialogue between Metge-the-character and several participants (in fact the book is a dialogue between Metge and the Classical and Biblical tradition) on the topics of the immortality of the soul, the essence of religion and the dignity and moral essence of the human being. In addition to using many Classical and medieval literary sources, "Lo Somni" can be considered one of the first (if not the first) Humanist books to be ever written in the Iberian Peninsula. Metge wrote "Lo Somni" supposedly while in prison (house arrest?) following a dubious accusation about his involvement in the death of King Joan I. Metge wrote this work as a personal defense to exonerate himself and as an attempt to gain the confidence of the new King Marti l Huma and his wife Queen Maria de Luna. "Lo Somni" ends when Metge-the-character is awaken from his dream. This foundational work also touches upon political themes pertaining to the Crown of Aragon, literary fashion and reception of Italian humanist works at the court, as well as on matters of fashion, cultural customs, taste and style.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
