Greed, deception and pride have led you away from the ideals and dreams you cherished in younger days. How do you go on? This is the starting point of one of the most extraordinary and important journeys in western literature, a stunningly ambitious flight of imagination and philosophy which has reverberated down the years since Dante Alighieri first wrote it down in the fourteenth century. The Divine Comedy is a vision of the afterlife, the three regions of Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, through which the narrator must journey in order to better understand the workings of the universe, the love of God, and his place in the world. Poet and translator Steve Ellis translated the Inferno in 1994, and it was greeted with great acclaim. Now Ellis's translation of the entire poem is published here for the first time, and Dante's epic can be experienced afresh and in new glorious life and colour, the physicality and immediacy of Dante's verse rendered in English as never before. 546 $a Translated from the Italian. 650 0 $a Hell $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Purgatory $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Heaven $v Poetry. 700 1 $a Ellis, Steve, $d 1952- $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907010956.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317032315.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E345BF18471C11EA8C4E586797128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
