Dante's
dramatic journey down the circles of Hell, up the mountain of Purgatory and
through the spheres of Heaven in search of redemption “ and his encounter
with devils, monsters and the souls of sinners and saints “ is one of the
cornerstones of Western literature, the summit of medieval thinking and
arguably the highest poetic achievement of all time.
This 700th Anniversary Edition of The Divine Comedy is presented in a verse
translation by acclaimed poet and prize-winning translator J.G. Nichols,
together with extensive notes, illustrations by Gustave Doré and a critical
apparatus focusing on the author's life and works.
