SynopsisThis translation of Dante's Inferno aims to preserve Dante's natural style while capturing the movement of the original Italian verse. The blank verse rendition of the poet's journey through the circles of hell re-creates for the modern reader the meanings Dante's poem had for contemporaries.
Dante's Inferno is obviously a quintessential work of human literature as a whole. This tale, told in cantos, details Dante's journey through Hell in preparation for Purgatory. The book itself was in great condition and arrived very quickly. The mass media edition makes it especially portable for on-the-go readers. The cost was also very very low, which I appreciate greatly as it helps such classics as this find their way into the hands of larger audiences.
