The first of the three major canticles in \u003ci\u003eLa divina commedia\u003c\/i\u003e (The Divine Comedy), this fourteenth-century allegorical poem begins Dante's imaginary journey from Hell to Purgatory to Paradise. His encounters with historical and mythological creatures -- each symbolic of a particular vice or crime -- blend vivid and shocking imagery with graceful lyricism in one of the monumental works of world literature.\u003cbr\u003eThis acclaimed translation was rendered by the beloved nineteenth-century poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. A skilled linguist who taught modern languages at Harvard, Longfellow was among the first to make Dante's visionary poem accessible to American readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dante Alighieri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486442888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486442884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.31w x 0.65d","brand":"Dante Alighieri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048976740607,"sku":"9780486442884","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_041bfb86-aba2-43d8-8cbb-99f621deedef.jpg?v=1684998901","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inferno-dante-alighieri-9780486442884","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
