Dante Alighieri All Books Editorial Review
The Collins Classics edition of Inferno by Dante Alighieri is a five-star world masterpiece that provides a detailed look at the idea of punishment fitting the crime. It is a piece of literature that will continue to captivate readers about the question of what happens to us when we die. The work, a commentary on 14th century Italy, comprises of 34 Cantos and takes us through the nine rings of Hell, where Dante and his guide, Virgil, make the descent into Hell ring by ring. The author of the review finds Dante's 'hell' so convincing that to this day, for many people, it is still what they believe hell to be. The review recommends Dorothy Sayer's translation over John Ciardi's translation, which is used in schools but fails to keep the terza rima rhyme scheme. The review speaks to the structure and design of Inferno, which the reviewer describes as carefully crafted, down to every detail.
