A new verse translation by acclaimed prize-winning translator J.G. Nichols, with Gustav Doré's iconic illustrationsDante's dramatic journey down the circles of Hell, up the mountain of Purgatory, and through the spheres of Heaven in search of redemption—and his encounter with devils, monsters, and the souls of sinners and saints—is one of the cornerstones of Western literature, the summit of medieval thinking, and arguably the highest poetic achievement of all time.

This epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between c. 1308 and his death in 1321 is widely considered the preeminent work of Italian literature, and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature. The Divine Comedy serves as the physical (scientific), political, and spiritual guidebook of Dantes Fourteenth Century universe. The poems imaginative and allegorical vision of the afterlife is a culmination of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church. It helped establish the Tuscan dialect, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language. It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. On the surface, the poem describes Dantes travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven; but at a deeper level, it represents allegorically the souls journey towards God. At this deeper level, Dante draws on medieval Christian theology and philosophy, especially Thomistic philosophy and the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas. Consequently, the Divine Comedy has been called "the Summa in verse".

Cento canti di altissima poesia: la Divina Commedia è considerata il primo testo della letteratura italiana. L'opera immortale del nostro sommo poeta è qui presentata in un'edizione che riproduce il testo critico secondo l'ultima vulgata stabilita da Giorgio Petrocchi. Il primo a definire "Divina" la Commedia di Dante fu Boccaccio; il titolo Divina Commedia risulta per la prima volta in una edizione del 1555. Il senso del viaggio dantesco nell'oltretomba può essere rintracciato nella discussa Epistola a Cangrande della Scala - al quale l'autore dedica il Paradiso: Dante spiega di aver voluto mostrare agli uomini che l'unico modo per elevarsi dalla loro condizione di peccatori e per conquistare verita e salvezza è affidarsi al retto uso della ragione. Un viaggio allegorico attraverso cui il poeta, e con lui l'umanita tutta, riesce ad abbandonare "la selva oscura" della propria miseria per rendersi degno di attingere al divino.
