Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Superb Book!!!
This is such a GREAT book. I've decided to use it for my HS graduationn project. It is very in depth and provides a great recollection! It is just like the original Divine Comedy written by Dante hisself!!



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Beautiful Edition
The Divine Comedy / 0-679-43313-9

This edition of the Divine Comedy is a beautiful addition to any library. The hardcover cloth binding is clean and tight, with a ribbon bookmark. I'm not an expert in translations, but this translation seems very good, true to the source material. The poetic nature of the poem is carefully preserved, with copious endnotes to explain the political, historical, and religious significance of the more obscure passages.

This book probably isn't your choice for an evening of light reading and, unless you're an expert on the subject material, you will probably spend a lot of time flipping to the back to read the end notes, but if you need to read the Divine Comedy for a class, or for edification, this is a good edition to choose. The whole Comedy is included here - Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso - which is a nice inclusion since too many "Divine Comedies" out there only include Inferno, the most famous of the three. I recommend this edition highly.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Translation
The introduction by a modern poet rambles on and is not worth reading, however the stories by Dante are excellent and have been translated without losing any of the original meaning. Notes in the back make it easy to follow this 400 year old story.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - "The Divine Comedy"
Vigil, a legendary poet, saves Dante from sins and takes him to Hell in "The Divine Comedy." With Virgil as his guide, Dante witnesses horrors and endless despair. People in Hell are punished according to their sin, and the farther down they are, the worse the punishment is. Being and endless poem, the book doesn't always make sense, but in the end it turned out okay.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Very Nice!
Clean, well bound book with ribbon bookmark. It was a perfect gift, my son loved it.
