BOOK SYNOPSIS
A new translation by Anthony Esolen
Illustrations by Gustave Doré
Includes an appendix of key sources and extensive endnotes
Arguably the greatest single poem ever written, The Divine Comedy presents Dante Alighieri's all-encompassing vision of the three realms of Christian afterlife. In this groundbreaking new translation of Dante's most brilliant, imaginative creation, Purgatory, Dante struggles up the terraces of Mount Purgatory, still guided by Virgil, in continuation of his difficult ascent to purity.
BOOK REVIEWS
Praise for Anthony Esolens translation of
Inferno:
Professor Esolens translation of Dantes Inferno is the best one I have seen. . . . And his endnotes and other additions provoke answers to almost any question that could arise about the work.
A. Kent Hieatt, translator of The Canterbury Tales
Esolens brilliant translation captures the power and the spirit of a poem that does not easily give up its secrets.
Robert Royal, president, Faith and Reason Institute
Anthony Esolens new translation follows Dante through all his spectacular range, commanding where he is commanding, wrestling, as he does, with the density and darkness in language and in the soul. It is living writing.
James Richardson, Princeton University
