Book Reviews of The Divine Comedy (The Inferno, The Purgatorio, and The Paradiso)
Book Review: Solid translation for a schizophrenic work!
Summary: 4 Stars
This translation was easy enough to understand although the work itself suffers from a major problem and that is a sharp contrast that exists between exciting moments to ones where the lack of action is utterly unbearable. I suggest you read this version which makes it easier to understand Dante's thinking. Which is something you will want to get a firm grasp on as you enter the later sections which can be laboriously slow.
Summary of The Divine Comedy (The Inferno, The Purgatorio, and The Paradiso)
Dante Alighieri's poetic masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, is a moving human drama, an unforgettable visionary journey through the infinite torment of Hell, up the arduous slopes of Purgatory, and on to the glorious realm of Paradise-the sphere of universal harmony and eternal salvation.General Books
