Description

Dante's Inferno is an allegorical tale regarding man's search for divinity. Written in the Italian language, this medieval masterpiece tells the narrative of a journey down through Hell, up the mountain of Purgatory, and through the revolving heavens into the presence of God. The work is divided into three sections, each containing thirty-three cantos. It belongs to the two familiar medieval literary types of the Journey and the Vision, yet Dante intended it to be more than just simple allegory, layering the narrative with rich historical, moral, political, literal, and anagogical context. Presented here is the first volume of this timeless work, translated into English verse by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Printed on premium acid-free paper, this edition is a faithful representation of Dante's original composition.
