If this is your first introduction to the Divine Comedy then this is the translation you should get. Very readable with an excellent introduction and notes explaining everything you need to know to enjoy this great poem.

IMO, Mark Musa does the best translation of Dante. I read Dorothy Sayers' version and it was purgatory (sticking to rhyming couplets, iambic pentameter and a bizarre Provencal-to-Burns Scottish stanza). Musa keeps the meter but doesn't tie up with rhyming, nor going for medieval English as another translator decided. More accurate and, importantly, accessible as a result. Accompanying notes on the figures appearing in each chapter very helpful.

It's not just a classic, it's mighty literature.

A very challenging book, which I have had to read several times. An interesting journey through the origin of sin.

The book itself is great. But someone scribbled on one of the pages in Biro. To a book lover such as I. That is sacriligeous!!
