A verse translation of Dante's awe-inspiring poem of penance and hope, masterfully translated by award-winning professor Allen Mandelbaum

Exactly what we have waited for these years, a Dante with clarity, eloquence, terror and profoundly moving depths.--Robert Fagles, Princeton University

Tough and supple, tender and violent . . . vigorous, vernacular . . . Mandelbaum's Dante will stand high among modern translations.--Christian Science Monitor

As Dante ascends the Mount of Purgatory toward the Earthly Paradise and his beloved Beatrice, through that second kingdom in which the human soul is cleansed of sin, all the passion and suffering, poetry and philosophy are rendered with the immediacy of a poet of our own age. This edition includes exclusive notes and commentary prepared especially for this edition.
