Synopsis "The Divine Comedy: Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso (Penguin Translated Texts)"

A stunning 3-in-1 edition of one of the great works of Western literatureAn epic masterpiece and a foundational work of the Western canon, The Divine Comedy describes Dante's descent into Hell with Virgil as his guide; his ascent of Mount Purgatory and reunion with his dead love, Beatrice; and, finally, his arrival in Heaven.
