The Divine Comedy (Illustrated)

This edition includes 10 unique illustrations and an active table of contents.

Perhaps the most stirring masterpiece from the Middle Ages, Dante Alighieriâ€™s The Divine Comedy was an astonishing achievement that places the author among the ranks of the great epic poets of the classical world. It is fitting, then, that Virgil serves as the autobiographical narratorâ€™s mentor and guide through Hell and Purgatory, while Alighieriâ€™s great, doomed love Beatrice leads him through Heaven (Paradiso). Written up until the authorâ€™s death in 1321, Alighieri broke from tradition by composing his epic in his native tongue â€“ a Tuscan dialect â€“ rather than the standard Latin, in which such works were normally written.
