This handsome hardback presents Dante's epic work alongside William Blake's hauntingly beautiful illustrations in full-color. This unabridged edition is introduced by Anna Amari-Parke and makes a wonderful gift.

The Divine Comedy is one of the greatest ever works of western literature. In this epic poem, Dante imagines the afterlife by representing his own travels through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise. With Virgil as his guide, he travels to the Earthly Paradise.

The tale's profound Christian message and detailed social and political commentary of fourteenth century Italy weave a rich tapestry of interpretation, meaning and symbolism. This edition is perfectly complemented by William Blake's magnificent illustrations. Together, they bring Dante's imagination to life for the modern reader.
