Description
A fresh translation of an enduring literary classic. Halfway through life, you find yourself lost, unsure of the right path. Greed, deception and pride have led you away from the ideals and dreams you cherished in younger days. This is the starting point of one of the most extraordinary journeys in western literature, a stunningly ambitious flight of imagination and philosophy that has reverberated down the years since its first written words. The Divine Comedy is a vision of the afterlife, the three regions of Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, through which the narrator must journey to better understand the workings of the universe, the love of God, and his place in the world. A new translation by Steve Ellis brings Dante's epic into new glorious life and colour, rendering the physicality and immediacy of his verse in English as never before.
