About This Novel
Dante's "Divine Comedy" is one of the greatest works in the history of world literature. Borges called this book "the best book in the history of human literature." "The Divine Comedy" is divided into three parts - "Hell": suffering people, sin and suffering; "Pure World": people who atone for sins, repentance and waiting; "Paradise": happy people, joy and love. There are 100 articles in three parts. Dante began writing the "Divine Comedy" in 1308, and completed the three volumes of "Inferno", "Pure World" and "Paradise" in 1320. It is still sung today and is the first work of the Renaissance movement. Joyce loved this book, "The Divine Comedy is the European epic. I love my Dante as much as I love the Bible. That is my spiritual food, and everything else is junk." When Lu Xun evaluated foreign literature in his later years, he mentioned that "Italian writer Dante and Russian writer Dostoevsky are the two most unforgettable foreign writers for me." The "Divine Comedy" published this time includes 133 newly reproduced customized illustrations by Gustave Doré, a classic translation by translator Wang Weike, nearly 1,500 translation annotations, and a 15,080-word long text introduction by the translator + hand-drawn schematic diagrams to facilitate readers to better understand the classics.
