Dante's Paradiso

Viac o knihe

At the center of this literary masterpiece is an allegorical journey exploring humanity's quest for divinity. Divided into three parts—Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso—Dante's work narrates a profound voyage through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, enriched with historical, moral, and political layers. Uniquely written in Italian to reach a wider audience, it breaks from the tradition of Latin texts. This edition features Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's English verse translation and includes an introduction by Ellen M. Mitchell, making it a significant contribution to literary history.
