## Description

Buy The Divine Comedy (Classics of World Literature) by Alighieri, Dante, Cary, H.F., Griffith, Tom, Cary, H.F. (ISBN: 9781840221664) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: As described and not for the faint hearted - The book itself is good quality but do not buy if you expect simply to read it as a stand alone piece of literature. The story is highly reliant on religious symbolism, knowledge of classics, medieval church movements / philosophy and italian political figures from the 14th century. I’d personally recommend reading canto summaries before embarking on reading them. Even then I found the translation very difficult. That’s not to say the book itself is bad, it is exactly as advertised but this is not an easy read and I’m somewhat perplexed by the reviews that make it out to only be “challenging in places”.
Review: DANTE AT HIS VER BEST - I TOOK THE BOOK WITH ME ON HOLIDAY TO SORRENTO (ITALIAN THEME!) AND READ SOME OF IT IN BETWEEN TRIPS TO THE AMALFI COAST AND RESTING AFTERWARDS. THIS OLD CLASSIC INNITIALLY APPEARS HARD TO GET INTO, BUT ONCE YOU GET ENTAGLED IN THE STORY LINE IT BECOMES MORE INTRGING AND ENJOYABLE.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It sounds beautiful... but hard to read
*by K***Y on 9 August 2012*

I'm educated to a normal level - I have a degree, but it's not in English literature. I don't profess to be a linguistic master, so this book is perhaps a little out of my depth in comparison with some scholars out there. Nevertheless, I was very interested in reading this book - mostly because of the grim fascination about the tale of someone who gets to visit the 7 circles of Hell. Although I found it hard-reading at times, I was also blown away by it. I fully expected to not understand the text at all, and must admit I was pleasantly surprised. There was the odd bit I had to read twice to process, but in general, it was nowhere near as complex as I imagined. Although controversial, perhaps in several eras, the tale and style is provocative and I always found it difficult to put down, even when I was struggling to fully understand. I would certainly recommend this to someone looking for an enriching challenge. I was most drawn to religious iconography and just the general lavishness of the whole text, but even on a much shallower level, it's a very interesting narrative. Be confident, is the key! It's not as laa-dee-daa as you might think (although it is very long).
