Description

Dante (1265-1321) is the greatest of Italian poets and his Divine Comedy is the finest of all Christian allegories. In the Inferno, the first of its three parts, the poet is conducted by the spirit of the poet Virgil through the twenty-four circles of Hell on the first stage of his arduous journey towards God. All Dante's qualities - sublime, grim, intellectual, humorous, ecstatic - are brought out in this fresh, vigorous translation of what Dorothy Sayers calls in her excellent introduction, his 'drama of the soul's choice'.
