At the pinnacle of a grand and prolific career, W. S. Merwin has given us a shimmering new verse translation of the central section of Dante's Divine Comedy -- the Purgatorio. Led by Virgil, inspired by his love for Beatrice, Dante makes the arduous journey up the Mountain of Purgatory, where souls are cleansed to prepare them for the ultimate ascent to heaven. Presented with the original Italian text, and with Merwin's notes and commentary, this luminous new interpretation of Dante's great poem of sin, repentance, and salvation is a profoundly moving work of art and the definitive translation for our time. From the Hardcover edition.

Dante Alighieri's 'The Divine Comedy: Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso' is a masterpiece of medieval literature, depicting the author's imaginative journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. The work is renowned for its intricate allegorical narrative, vivid descriptions of punishment and redemption, and complex moral and theological themes. The three parts of the Divine Comedy offer readers a profound exploration of the nature of sin, repentance, and the ultimate path to salvation. Dante Alighieri, a prominent Italian poet and philosopher of the late Middle Ages, was inspired to write The Divine Comedy as a means of expressing his religious beliefs and political views. His use of vernacular Italian was revolutionary for the time, making the epic poem accessible to a wider audience and solidifying his place in the literary canon. I highly recommend 'The Divine Comedy: Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso' to readers interested in epic poetry, medieval literature, and philosophical inquiry. Dante Alighieri's timeless work continues to captivate audiences with its profound insights into the human condition and its enduring exploration of the afterlife.
