I don't know, after reading the Inferno (the worst book EVER) I don't think I'll want to read this one. I posted a comment on the Inferno forum but t probably won't go up because it doesn't glorify this terrible book

Would just like to add my "thanks" to Catrina's. Your site is great and the free access is so appreciated. I have started reading the first book and although it is very difficult without a classical education, I find that information from sites like yours are a really good way to read it and actually come away with some level of understanding. Thanks

THe divine Comedy

I just wanted to say thanx for allowing us to view your website without cost, I think it's great that you have la divinia comedia in english, being an italian major, it's still a bit difficult to understand the italian but because of your website it becomes easier....thankyou

All three books of the Divine Comedy are amazing, but before you read the latter ones, you must start with the beginning. While Dante does a good job of painting images into your head, it takes the background of what happened in the previous books to contrast those images, as he intended it to be. I would highly recommend the entire series, read in order.
