Book Overview

This luxurious edition of Dante's timeless classic belongs on every book lover's bookshelf.

The Inferno is the first part of Dante's masterpiece, The Divine Comedy. In this epic poem, Dante is led by the poet Virgil into the nine circles of Hell--limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery--culminating in a meeting with Satan himself. Along the way, he meets a number of interesting figures. The Divine Comedy, written in the early fourteenth century by Dante Alighieri, continues to be essential reading for lovers of literature.

This elegant, highly giftable volume features:

  • A stunning, foil-embossed, faux-leather cover
  • The classic, unabridged translation by the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)
  • Beautifully designed endpapers
  • An introduction by Renaissance literature and history scholar John Lotherington
  • A biography detailing the life and times of Dante Alighieri


A must-have for every home library, The Inferno is a book that you'll reach for again and again, destined to grace your bookshelves for years to come.
