Inferno: The Divine Comedy, Book 1 (Unab Dante Alighieri
Have you ever heard the sounds of Hell? Felt the darkness and the ice? Tasted the burnt air on your tongue? Dante’s Inferno will give you a flavor of the wretchedness of sin that you will never forget. The images and action that bring you down into the very center of judgment and consequence, into that eternal realm of woe, will stick to the ribcages of your mind, and change the way you see the world, the devil, and your own flesh. 

In this new translation, poet and author Joe Carlson provides a window into the language and feel of this opening canticle of the Divine Comedy. Rendered in blank verse, Carlson captures the poetic wonder of the original Italian, while maintaining a readability students and scholars alike will appreciate.
