ALIGHIERI DANTE THE DIVINE COMEDY

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.
