The Inferno

Capa
934 Críticas
Penguin Group US, 01/06/2001 - 288 páginas
The immortal drama of a journey through Hell. Belonging in the immortal company of Homer, Virgil, Milton, and Shakespeare, Dante Alighieri's poetic masterpiece is a moving human drama, an unforgettable visionary journey through the infinite torment of Hell, a supreme expression of the Middle Ages, a glorification of the ways of God, and a magnificent protest at the ways in which men have thwarted the divine plan. One of the few literary works which has enjoyed a fame that was both immediate and enduring, The Inferno's power has not been lessened or obscured after six centuries. It confronts the most universal values—good and evil, free will and predestination—while remaining intensely personal and ferociously political, for it was born out of the anguish of a man who saw human life blighted by the injustice and corruption of his times.

Review: Inferno (The Divine Comedy #1)

3.5x* This is a book I'll definitely need to revisit. I think its genius escapes me due to a significant degree as my knowledge is lacking. The visuals are at times very captivating. Ler crítica na íntegra

Read this again as research for the Kobo Inferno stories - enjoyed it a lot. Dark punishments, gory details and you can skip over the Florentine politics :) Ler crítica na íntegra
