The Divine Comedy (Longfellow’s translation)

by Dante Alighieri (translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

Credits: Dante Alighieri (author)

Summary

Dante, lost in a dark wood in midlife, is led by Virgil down through the circles of Hell and up the mountain of Purgatory, and then by Beatrice through the spheres of Paradise to the vision of God. Longfellow's unrhymed translation, in 100 cantos, keeps close to the Italian line by line. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
