Description
Dante Alighieri's Purgatory is a masterpiece of epic poetry that explores the Christian afterlife. Written in the fourteenth century, this work presents Dante's vision of the three realms of Christian afterlife: Inferno, Purgatory, and Paradise.
Guided by Virgil, Dante struggles up the terraces of Mount Purgatory as he continues his ascent to purity. This translation, by Anthony Esolen, brings Dante's brilliant vision to life in a way that is both accessible and engaging.
This edition includes an appendix of key sources and extensive endnotes, providing invaluable guidance for readers and students alike. With its rich language and thought-provoking themes, Purgatory remains a powerful work of literature that continues to inspire and challenge readers today.
