Publisher's Synopsis
Just as Dante is hailed as the best of Italy's poets, The Divine Comedy is considered the greatest work of Italian literature. Inferno, the three-part epic's first and most popular section, chronicles the poet's journey through the underworld. This definitive edition ― translated by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ― features stunning engravings by the eminent 19th-century illustrator Gustave Doré.
