{"product_id":"paradiso-dante-alighieri-9780486815343","title":"Paradiso","description":"The last great literary work of the Middle Ages and the first important book of the Renaissance, Dante's \u003ci\u003eDivine Comedy\u003c\/i\u003e culminates in this third and final section, \u003ci\u003eParadiso.\u003c\/i\u003e The 14th-century allegory portrays a medieval perspective on the afterlife, tracing the poet's voyage across three realms -- Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise -- to investigate the concepts of sin, guilt, and redemption. Expressed in sublime verse, the trilogy concludes with this challenging and rewarding venture into the dwelling place of God, angels, and the souls of the faithful.\u003cbr\u003eGuided by Beatrice, the incarnation of beatific love, Dante undergoes an intellectual journey from doubt to faith. Beatrice instructs the poet in scholastic theology as they pass through the nine spheres of Paradise to the Empyrean, a realm of pure light in which the redeemed experience the bliss of God's immediate presence. This edition features the renowned translation by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and serves as a companion volume to the Dover editions of \u003ci\u003eInferno\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePurgatorio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dante Alighieri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 048681534X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486815343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 4.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Dante Alighieri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980980388095,"sku":"9780486815343","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a310c5a9-7908-41f9-94f1-bec3c9c9085d.jpg?v=1683253007","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/paradiso-dante-alighieri-9780486815343","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
