The Inferno

Rather them reading this book if I would had gone forPenguin black classic - The divine comedy -Inferno-Purgatorio-Paradiso [All in one Book .] It would've been much right decision.Translation: it if fine type.

The title The Comedy is appropriate in two ways. First, the poem is written in the vernacular, which was considered appropriate only for a comedy. Second, the plot mirrors the flow of a classical comedy, progressing from the horrors of Hell to the joys of Heaven. Despite his seeming modesty, however, Dante was confident both that his poetry surpassed that of any other vernacular writer and that he could use the high, tragic style to perfection, as he had proved in Vita Nuova. The Comedy is not exclusively “high” or “low”; rather, it is a truly universal work. It deals with one of the great questions of humanity: the existence of an afterlife and the consequences of our lives on Earth. For Dante, this question was worthy of calling upon philosophers and poets alike, and of utilizing every available style, as he does throughout Inferno.

I would like you guys to give it a read because its probably the simplest version of Dantes inferno and his journey on how he escapes to heaven via hell and you can actually relate it to your life and probably learn lessons which would help you in your future endeaveours,packaging was good its just that the quality of the book is a bit cheap.

A really great book.
