Sobre este e-book
Dante's Divine Comedy is regarded as a masterpiece of medieval literature, telling the story of Dante's descent into hell, his journey through purgatory and eventual ascent into heaven, with Virgil as his guide.
The tale's profound Christian message and detailed social and political commentary of fourteenth century Italy weave a rich tapestry of interpretation, meaning and symbolism. From the pilgrim's deepening insight into the workings of evil and moral choice (Hell) through to the dramatization of the nature and purpose of moral conversion (Purgatory) to the blissfully mystical ascent before God (Paradise), Dante's cosmic vision remains unparalleled
This edition includes Henry W. Longfellow's classic translation, the magnificent illustrations of Gustave Doré and a brilliant introduction by Anna Amari-Parker, full of accessible analysis of Dante's allegorical tale.

Sobre o autor
Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) was a poet and politician. Born into a noble Florentine family in a city torn apart by rival clans, Dante became embroiled in this sectarianism and was banished from the city in 1302. He wrote Divine Comedy while in exile and this translation is by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the American lyric poet.
Gustave Doré (1832-1883) was a French artist and illustrator who worked primarily with wood-engraving. His famed illustrations include those for Milton's Paradise Lost, Dante's Divine Comedy and Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven.
