1.The Divine Comedy (The Inferno, The Purgatorio, and The Paradiso)The Divine Comedy (The Inferno, The Purgatorio, and The Paradiso)
from NAL Trade
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
Ciarni's points out in the "Translator Notes" that using Dante's own "Terza Rima" rhyming ending scheme of ABA BCB CDC DED etc. in English simply doesn't suit and doesn't work properly! But even a blank free verse translation also doesn't do Dante the justice he deserves since he wrote it in... more info

2.DANTE: INFERNO (Dante s Divine Comedy)DANTE: INFERNO (Dante's Divine Comedy)
from Mercer University Press
Price: $22.95

Customer Review:
Choosing which translation of Dante's Divine Comedy to read is a very subjective and personal question. Any translation involves balancing the meaning, feel, and artistry of the work, normally at the expense of at least one of these qualities. A major consideration is the topic of rhyme. The Divine... more info

This is such a GREAT book. I've decided to use it for my HS graduationn project. It is very in depth and provides a great recollection! It is just like the original Divine Comedy written by Dante hisself!!

4.[no image]Inferno of Dante
from J.M.Dent & Sons Ltd

Customer Review:
Perhaps you are reading these reviews because, let us be honest, you are a bit intimidated to read a book of this nature. Written over seven centuries ago, many, perhaps even most, of the references are today obscure. Yes, the scholars can read Dante, but what of you, who just wants something... more info

6.La Vita Nuova (Penguin Classics)La Vita Nuova (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Books
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
I received this book when I was half-way through the Divine Comedy because that book was so good, but based on other opinions, I braced myself with the belief that this book would not be as good. Well, I read it in three days, after I finished the Divine Comedy, and there were so many great things... more info

from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
The greatest strength of Dorothy Sayers's translation of The Divine Comedy is its notes. Sayers considered this translation her finest work and spent years of her life on it, though she died before she could complete Paradise. Having read The Comedy dozens of times myself, along with many books on... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
I found this edition of Dante's most famous book of the Divine Comedy to be excellent in all respects. The translation seemed excedingly accurate -- as an Italian prof. I was working almost exclusively from the original -- in a modern, clean style. Here the attempt is not to replicate the... more info

10.[no image]The Portable Dante (Viking Portable Library)
from Penguin (Non-Classics)

Customer Review:
First, a word about Mark Musa's translation of Dante's works. His interpretations of the Divine Comedy and La Vita Nuova are very beautiful, extremely readable, and as true to Dante as you can be in English. Musa's scholarship is excellent, and his introductory essays on Dante and his works are a... more info
