aceface 's review for:
The Divine Comedy
by Dante Alighieri
I'll definitely have to give this a good re-read in a year or two to give everything a chance to sink in. But all in all, it's definitely worth putting in the time and effort to get through this work. It's so rich, symbolic, influncial - and by the end of paradisio I was getting pretty emotional, much to my surprise!
The translation is wonderful too. I've flicked through a few different translations in bookshops and found them a little too archaic or unnecessarily ornate. This translation is pretty plain English for the most part; it just grabs you by the hand and gently guides you through the lines
Not easy or for the faint hearted, but it definitely pays off.
