Description

“If there’s any justice on this planet of books, [Esolen’s] would be the standard Dante . . . for a while to return.”–Robert Royal, Crisis

In this, the concluding volume of The Divine Comedy, Dante ascends from the devastation of the Inferno and the trials of Purgatory. Led by his beloved Beatrice, he enters Paradise, to profess his faith, hope, and love before the Heavenly court. Completed in a while before his death, Paradise is the quantity that in all probability perfect expresses Dante’s spiritual philosophy about resurrection, redemption, and the nature of divinity. It also affords up to date-day readers a clear window into late medieval perceptions about faith. A bilingual text, classic illustrations by Gustave Doré, an appendix that reproduces Dante’s key sources, and other features make this the definitive edition of Dante’s ultimate masterwork.
