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.

Born in Florence, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is considered to be the father of Italian poetry and one of the greatest influences in world literature. His masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, is the zenith of medieval knowledge and a paragon of poetic imagination. Its first part, the Inferno, remains one of the most popular books of all time.
