The Divine Comedy

Book arrived on time, in great condition, just as advertized.

Hard to read

I have read this book three times over my life. Remember, it was written hundreds of years ago yet is still so pertinent in today’s world. The soaring use of language is the books main draw for me.

You dont want to go it is not good there. Hope to spend just a couple of hunderd years in purgatoria the get in the gate.

The finest translation of the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri is by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It took a Poet of the magnitude of H.W. Longfellow to bring to vivid life the verses of this amazing work.

Soft, light and can easily fit amongst the vast books. Also cheap for cost, but never for the mind.

I have started and restarted this book at least a dozen times. I've wanted to read this since I was in high school so I purchased a paperback, then tossed it when I couldn't finish. Bought another a few years later with the same results. Finally I resolved to read it in Kindle.I got to the second part but I have to stop I really am just not enjoying this anymore. Some parts are fascinating and compel you to read more others are difficult to read similar to Shakespeare trying to read between the lines and figure out what they are actually saying. I'm not going to give it any less than three stars because it would serve as a disservice to the book if you can read it good for you but I just can't go forward.

Originally in Italian...spectacular reas
