With his journeys through hell and purgatory complete, dante is at last led by his beloved beatrice to paradise.

Robert hollander is a dante scholar of unmatched reputation and his wife, jean, is an accomplished poet. Their verse translation with facing-page italian combines maximum fidelity to dante's text with the artistry necessary to reflect the original's virtuosity.
