"BEFORE MY RISING, NONE WERE BUILT TO FEAR
TIME'S DURANCE, AND FOREVER I ENDURE.
ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO ENTER HERE."

At over four thousand lines of poetry, Inferno is one of the most well-known and revered epic poems ever written. Now, Dante Alighieri's classic journey through Hell, originally written in Italian, is presented in an adapted terza rima format that preserves the intent and feeling of the original while allowing for English rhyming sensibilities. Each one of hundreds of names, places and events is faithfully transposed from the original, all while maintaining proper meter and verse.
The Divine Comedy: Inferno: The New Illuminated Edition is a grippign retelling of the original tale for modern readers that retains the epic, poetic feel of the original. This version includes:

  • Author's notes
  • Clarification on rhyming structure.
