Lay down all hope, you that go in by me . . .Through the gates of Hell, past whirling hurricanes, leering devils and rivers of blood, lies the ultimate evil: Satan himself. Masterfully translated by Dorothy L. Sayers, this first instalment of The Divine Comedy tells the captivating tale of Dante and Virgil’s arduous journey through the nine circles of the underworld, and remains one of the most influential works in literary history.

Vrcholné Dantovo dílo, v němž hlavní hrdina prochází postupně Peklem a Očistcem za doprovodu Vergillia, a následně Rájem, kde je mu průvodkyní jeho zesnulá drahá Beatrice, aby se nakonec navrátil na zemi.Epos se skládá celkem ze stovky zpěvů, první zpěv Pekla je úvodem k celému eposu, dále pak obsahuje každá část třicet tři zpěvů. Celkem má Komedie 14 233 veršů. Zpěvy jsou napsány tercinami, tj. trojveršovými strofami: tercína je druh strofy (neboli sloky) sestávající ze tří deseti-, v případě tzv. ženského zakončení jedenáctislabičných veršů, pocházející z Itálie (poprvé se objevuje právě v Komedii) s důmyslným rýmovým schématem aba-bcb-cdc-ded.Triadická struktura umožňuje výstavbu děje ve schématu teze - antiteze - synteze. Je možné, že trojveršové schéma vzniklo po vzoru Nejsvětější trojice. Po Dantově vzoru jí začali užívat i Petrarca a Boccaccio. Navazuje na provensálský sirventés.

Describing Dante's second stage in his arduous journey to redemption, Purgatory features a host of unforgettable scenes and characters, and arguably some of the best poetry to be found in the Divine Comedy. The gloom, torments and evils of Hell have been left behind, but Dante's ascent of Mount Purgatory towards Paradise remains fraught with obstacles, not least the burden of his own mortality and his human passions. Purgatory is presented here in a new verse translation by acclaimed poet and prize-winning translator J.G. Nichols. Also included are the original Italian text, extensive notes and a critical apparatus focusing on Dante's life and works.

In the third and final part of The Divine Comedy, Dante recounts his journey through heaven, after the travails and torments of Hell and the arduous ascent of Mount Purgatory, creating a cosmology of the highest realm of creation which is astonishing in its complexity. In Dante's imagining, Paradise is formed out of concentric spheres surrounding the Earth, beginning with the Moon and ending with the Empyrean. Dante must traverse these ethereal regions guided by his beloved Beatrice, as a means of attaining wisdom, revelation and beatitude. Containing some of Dante's finest poetry, Dante's Paradise is an enduring vision of grace and a powerful allegory for the struggle for redemption. This dual-text edition completes J.G. Nichols's masterful verse translation of The Divine Comedy.

The final volume in this brilliant translation destined to take its place among the great English versions of The Divine Comedy. In his translation of Paradise, Mark Musa exhibits the same sensitivity to language and knowledge of translation that enabled his versions of Inferno and Purgatory to capture the vibrant power and full dramatic force of Dante's poetry. Dante relates his mystical interpretation of the heavens, and his moment of transcendent glory, as he journeys, first with Beatrice, then alone, toward the Trinity. Professor Musa's extraordinary translation and his interpretive commentary, informative glossary, and bibliography clarify the theological themes and make Dante accessible to the English-speaking public.
