Summary: Recommending An Easy Read Of Dante's Divine Comedy
Comment: After receiving my copy of The Divine Comedy: Inferno; Purgatorio; Paradiso (Everyman's Library), I mentally prepared myself for a battle; as I have read numerous times that this piece of literature is very difficult to read. Indeed, it is not a light read, but this Everyman's edition of Allen Mandelbaum's translation with a glossary and sufficient endnotes, makes it an easy and enjoyable read.
All three parts (Inferno; Purgatorio; Paradiso) of the epic is in one well bounded book with a ribbon bookmarker. To add more value to this volume of the divine comedy is the great introduction by Eugenio Montale the many drawings through out its pages.
Very readable, thus recommended.

Summary: Beautiful Edition
Comment: The Divine Comedy / 0-679-43313-9
This edition of the Divine Comedy is a beautiful addition to any library. The hardcover cloth binding is clean and tight, with a ribbon bookmark. I'm not an expert in translations, but this translation seems very good, true to the source material. The poetic nature of the poem is carefully preserved, with copious endnotes to explain the political, historical, and religious significance of the more obscure passages.
This book probably isn't your choice for an evening of light reading and, unless you're an expert on the subject material, you will probably spend a lot of time flipping to the back to read the end notes, but if you need to read the Divine Comedy for a class, or for edification, this is a good edition to choose. The whole Comedy is included here - Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso - which is a nice inclusion since too many "Divine Comedies" out there only include Inferno, the most famous of the three. I recommend this edition highly.

Summary: Excellent Translation
Comment: The introduction by a modern poet rambles on and is not worth reading, however the stories by Dante are excellent and have been translated without losing any of the original meaning. Notes in the back make it easy to follow this 400 year old story.

Summary: "The Divine Comedy"
Comment: Vigil, a legendary poet, saves Dante from sins and takes him to Hell in "The Divine Comedy." With Virgil as his guide, Dante witnesses horrors and endless despair. People in Hell are punished according to their sin, and the farther down they are, the worse the punishment is. Being and endless poem, the book doesn't always make sense, but in the end it turned out okay.
