Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno (La Divina Commedia #1) by Dante Alighieri [Illustrated Ed]

Format: Paperback, illustrated
Condition: New
Genre: Classics > Poetry

Dante's Divine Comedy, and in particular Inferno, is a masterpiece of world literature. It is a spiritual allegory without compare: at once a voyage of self-discovery and a revelation of the divine. The fearsome journey recounted in Inferno is told by a pilgrim - the poet himself - who meanders through the increasingly macabre landscape of Hell. He meets and often recognizes the various inhabitants of the hellish circles and witnesses their strangely befitting punishments.

This beautiful illustrated with astonishing artworks, from Hieronymus Bosch's depictions of surreal, nightmarish landscapes and other Renaissance visions of the Last Judgement, to William Blake's pantings of the Pilgrim's spiritual travails.
