Synopsis "The Divine Comedy (Leather-Bound Classics)"

Dante's epic poem of the soul's journey through the afterlife remains essential reading seven centuries after its initial publication. This edition was translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso--the three fates of the deceased become the three pillars of an epic poem. The Divine Comedy, written by Italian poet Dante Alighieri in the fourteenth century, is considered the foremost work in Italian literature. The journey begins with Dante's descent into the depths of Hell, where he witnesses those eternally separated from God. Then he climbs the mountain of Purgatory, where Christian souls undergo final purification, before he tours the celestial circles of Heaven, where he is filled with the image of God. An allegorical work, The Divine Comedy is representative of the soul's journey toward God. Influential for seven centuries, this classic is a must-have for lovers of great literature, and this luxurious leather-bound edition from Canterbury Classics will make a stunning addition to any home library.
