The second part of Dante's medieval poem, this volume follows the poet's ascent of the mountain of Purgatory, guided by Virgil, as he observes souls being purified of their sins. It suits readers interested in medieval literature, Christian allegory, and Norton's prose translation.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri, widely known mononymously as Dante, was an Italian poet, writer, and philosopher. His Divine Comedy, originally called Comedìa and later christened Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio, is widely considered one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language.
