{"product_id":"the-divine-comedy-dante-alighieri-9780486815657","title":"The Divine Comedy: Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso","description":"This convenient single-volume edition contains all three parts of Dante's 14th century poem ― \u003ci\u003eInferno, Purgatorio, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eParadiso \u003c\/i\u003e― in an acclaimed translation by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Combining classical and Christian history as well as medieval politics and religion, this trilogy of sublime verse is among Western civilization's most important artistic works and essential reading for students of literature and history. \u003cbr\u003eDante's allegory of the soul's journey to God begins with \u003ci\u003eInferno, \u003c\/i\u003ein which the narrator traverses the underworld in the company of the ancient Roman poet Virgil. As they travel through the nine circles of Hell, the poets encounter historical and mythological figures suffering symbolic punishments for their earthly crimes. In \u003ci\u003ePurgatorio, \u003c\/i\u003e Dante continues on alone through the realm of redemption, where departed souls reflect upon their sins and work toward their moral improvement. The tale culminates in \u003ci\u003eParadiso, \u003c\/i\u003e where the divine Beatrice guides Dante in the final stage of his intellectual journey from doubt to faith.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dante Alighieri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 048681565X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486815657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 1.70d","brand":"Dante Alighieri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987327516927,"sku":"9780486815657","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5bb803b1-03f2-40b0-b679-4c7323671bff.jpg?v=1683288325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-divine-comedy-dante-alighieri-9780486815657","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
