Rating:  - Superb Book!!!
This is such a GREAT book. I've decided to use it for my HS graduationn project. It is very in depth and provides a great recollection! It is just like the original Divine Comedy written by Dante hisself!!

The Divine Comedy / 0-679-43313-9
This edition of the Divine Comedy is a beautiful addition to any library. The hardcover cloth binding is clean and tight, with a ribbon bookmark. I'm not an expert in translations, but this translation seems very good, true to the source material. The poetic nature of the poem is carefully preserved, with copious endnotes to explain the political, historical, and religious significance of the more obscure passages.

Rating: - Excellent Translation
The introduction by a modern poet rambles on and is not worth reading, however the stories by Dante are excellent and have been translated without losing any of the original meaning. Notes in the back make it easy to follow this 400 year old story.
Rating:  - "The Divine Comedy"
Vigil, a legendary poet, saves Dante from sins and takes him to Hell in "The Divine Comedy." With Virgil as his guide, Dante witnesses horrors and endless despair. People in Hell are punished according to their sin, and the farther down they are, the worse the punishment is. Being and endless poem, the book doesn't always make sense, but in the end it turned out okay.
Rating: - Very Nice!
Clean, well bound book with ribbon bookmark. It was a perfect gift, my son loved it.
