The Paradiso (Barnes & Noble Classics Series)

shadowed by it's predecessors.....

this is a good book but it is shadowed by both the Purgatorio and the Inferno. personally, i think that the Inferno is the best one out of the Divine Comedy, due to it's gripping visuals and depictions of what Hell is going to be like. the Paradiso, however, can be somewhat dull but the overall picture is amazingly beautiful. still a good read.

Long live the Divine Comedy

The Inferno , most renown of Dante's works, shadows over the Purgatorio and the Paradiso in people's minds. Many forget that the Divine Comedy spans Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. I admit that I had doubts if Paradiso could live up to the brilliance of the Inferno. I feel so dirty that I doubted him. Paradiso is a brilliant work, natuarally with perfect side notes that deepen Dante's reasoning. I really enjoyed each Canto of his masterpiece, and being a student, the notes were very helpful for tests.
