    *Translation by Henry Cary

    I may call it one of the best translations of the The Divine Comedy by Dante, though at moments you may find it really irritating as the notes aren't on the corresponding page.
    But it's really worth a try as it's exactly similar to that of Cary's version that was published in the 19th century. No Alterations.
    Other translations I recommend are by Robert Pinsky, and John Ciardi. Though I'm not sure if they're available on flipkart.

    La divina commedia

    Sir Dante can truly be called The Supreme poet, his work the divine comedy can truly be called 'Magnum opus', and the translation my Allen Mandelbaum is so perfect , it was hard for me to shut the book at times and plus the more i say seems less to describe it, from the the first canto of inferno(hell) to the last canto Of paradiso (paradise) it was such an amazing journey, which i found very much worth reading and buying. though i was little disappointed at the end of the last canto of parad...

    In a nutshell: Breathtaking!

    I don't need to tell you about the theme of this book - if you want to buy it, you must have the general idea of what this book is about. I do, however, want to comment on the translation - it's quite powerful, succinct and thorough.

    What really sets this book apart is, without a doubt, the extensive collection of notes at the end of the book. It really helps you understand the political and cultural references made by Dante throughout the book.

    I highly recommend you buy this book, if you ...

    True Treasure!

    The best translation of Dante. It includes Botticelli's pictures related to the entire poem. The Introduction and the notes are descriptive enough and provide satisfactory details. The chronology section is lovable.

    divine comedy

    This is not Longfellow's translation!!!!!!!! i don't know someone out of what wrote it as his and i brought it. i don't know how can someone be so blind that he or she would she the first page and be so obliviously confident that they would give absolutely wrong information to other people. i wasted my money on some translator about whom i had never heard about. this is to inform all the buyers that don't buy this book if you are looking for Longfellow's translation which is the best to say b...
