Dante Alighieri(12651321) was a statesman, poet, and philosopher who lived in Florence, Italy. His Divine Comedy is considered one of the greatest poems of the Middle Ages and an epic in world literature.
The book is translated by J. Simon Harris in such a way that you can understand what Dante's original vision was. The very detailed illustrations of not only Florence but also the circles of hell were fascinating. No one has ever translated Dante's vision quite like this. You will gain a new respect for the poet. - Anelynde Smit, Readers' Favorite
