Description
One of the world's great literary masterpieces, The Divine Comedy is an allegorical tale regarding man's search for divinity. The epic is divided into three sections, "Inferno," "Purgatorio," and "Paradiso," each containing thirty-three cantos. It is the narrative of a journey down through Hell, up the mountain of Purgatory, and through the revolving heavens into Paradise and in the presence of God.
Through the depths of Hell in the Inferno, and upwards along the mountain of Purgatory in the Purgatorio, Dante is guided by Virgil the poet, exploring the religious and political issues of his time.
From the summit of Purgatory, Dante ascends to the Paradiso, guided by Beatrice, into the celestial Paradise, where love, truth and beauty intertwine in his great vision of the Christian revelation. The Divine Comedy is essential reading not merely for Christians, poets, and historians, but for anyone struggling with issues of morality, the ethical framework of society, and the challenge of living the true life.
This edition also includes a brief biography of the author, as well as a 6-part sonnet appendix by the translator, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
