| Description | Described variously as the greatest poem of the European Middle Ages and, because of Dante's evangelical purpose, the 'fifth Gospel', the "Divine Comedy" is central to Western culture. The poem is a spiritual autobiography in journey form -- the poet travels from the dark circles of the Inferno, up the mountain of Purgatory, where Virgil, his guide, leaves him to encounter Beatrice in the Earthly Paradise. Dante conceived the poem a the new epic of Christendom, and he creates a world in which reason and faith have transformed moral and social chaos into order. Charles Sisson's blank verse translation is remarkable for its lucidity and vigor, and the introduction, diagrams, maps, and notes by David Higgins provide the reader with invaluable guidance. -- From publisher's description. | | Release Date | 1998 | | Author | Dante Alighieri | | Format | Dimensions 12.9x20.0x4.7 cm
