The Divine Comedy (Edit: AKA Dante's Inferno) -
August 13th 2009, 03:25 PM
I'm kind of wondering if anyone here has read The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri? Or if they've heard of it and what people think about it.
I've had an interest in it for a while and recently got a copy of the first book, which is Part 1: Hell. (Incidentally, it seems to be the only part of The Divine Comedy that anyone knows about  ) I hope no one has posted about this already... I did search the forum but I had no results (which is odd because I think there was one for the game which is coming out soon) ~Where death is I am not, where I am death is not, so we never meet~ I'd rather die terrified than live forever. We will all die so gloriously, that having ever lived will seem like folly. |

I started reading it but never finished it; not because I didn't like it but because I got caught up into other stuff. It is a good read but it takes some time and depending on the version you got (because there are different versions) it might take longer.
But, I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think

'Cause you are beautiful no matter what they say Words can't bring you down, oh no You are beautiful in every single way Yes, words can't bring you down, oh no So don't you bring me down today -Christina Aguilera |

I don't want to seem dense by asking this, but is that just another version of Dante's Inferno? If so, then yes. And it was enjoyed

The title "Dante's Inferno" is often more commonly used. However "inferno" would simply refer to the book about Hell, and disregards the other 2 books of the series.

The other two are about purgatory and salvation, right? The only one I read was the inferno, but from what I've heard it's the most interesting of the three.

I heard about the book two years ago in my world history class when we were learning about revolutionary thinkers, and I was interested and did some google searches on it, but I haven't gotten around to reading it.
Though I must admit, it seems like an interesting read.  Wake up. You're Alive. We're on your side. |

I read this last year, though I'm not sure if we read the whole thing or just the Inferno. Nonetheless it was pretty good...defiantly an interesting read
