Description
La Divina Commedia– Cantica III: Paradiso (Divine Comedy – Volume 3 : Paradise)
by Dante Alighieri
Inferno (Hell), Purgatory (Purgatorio), and Paradise (Paradiso) are collectively called Divine Comedy, which consists of Dante narrating his supposed journey through these regions. Divine Comedy is considered the greatest literary work composed in the Italian language and a masterpiece of world literature. The translation used is the literal prose translation of Prof. Charles Eliot Norton, which suits this edition's purposes perfectly.
Dante Alighieri (around 1265–1321) was a major Italian poet of the Middle Ages. His Divine Comedy, which consists of him narrating his supposed journey through Hell (Inferno), Purgatory (Purgatorio), and Paradise (Paradiso), is considered the greatest literary work composed in the Italian language and a masterpiece of world literature. In Italy he is known as il Sommo Poeta (the Supreme Poet). Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio are referred to as the three fountains (le tre fontane) or the three crowns (le tre corone). Dante is also called the Father of the Italian language.
Project Bilingual (a division of Wolf Pup Books) is a continuing project making available great original Italian writers' texts along with their English translation. This edition, which offers after every original language paragraph its translation, makes both grammar and vocabulary checks as painless as possible. Idiomatic forms that could be overlooked can be easily detected.
Furthermore, large paragraphs have been broken down to much smaller units so that the check is as effortless as possible. We do hope that by reading Italian writers that defined the language itself or whose work permeated the Italian culture, you will be able to get the maximum benefit from this language series. Although this edition is not a replacement for traditional methods of learning language, it is a very powerful tool to speed up the process once you have attained the intermediate level and beyond.
