More About This Book

Overview

The Inferno, by Dante Alighieri, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics:

  • New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars
  • Biographies of the authors
  • Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events
  • Footnotes and endnotes
  • Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work
  • Comments by other famous authors
  • Study questions to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectations
  • Bibliographies for further reading
  • Indices & Glossaries, when appropriate
All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works.

The Inferno remains literature’s most hallowed and graphic vision of Hell. Dante plunges readers into this unforgettable world with a deceptively simple—and now legendary—tercet:

Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark For the straightforward pathway had been lost.

With these words, Dante plunges readers into the unforgettable world of the Inferno—one of the most graphic visions of Hell ever created. In this first part of the epic The Divine Comedy, Dante is led by the poet Virgil down into the nine circles of Hell, where he travels through nightmare landscapes of fetid cesspools, viper pits, frozen lakes, and boiling rivers of blood and witnesses sinners being beaten, burned, eaten, defecated upon, and torn to pieces by demons. Along the way he meets the most fascinating characters known to the classical and medieval world—the silver-tongued Ulysses, lustful Francesca da Rimini, the heretical Farinata degli Uberti, and scores of other intriguing and notorious figures.

This edition of the Inferno revives the famous Henry Wadsworth Longfellow translation, which first introduced Dante’s literary genius to a broad American audience. “Opening the book we stand face to face with the poet,” wrote William Dean Howells of Longfellow’s Dante, “and when his voice ceases we may marvel if he has not sung to us in his own Tuscan.” Lyrically graceful and brimming with startlingly vivid images, Dante’s Inferno is a perpetually engrossing classic that ranks with the greatest works of Homer and Shakespeare.

Features a map of Hell and illustrations by Gustave Doré.

Read an Excerpt

From Peter Bondanella's Introduction to The Inferno

Church doctrine in Dante’s time (as today) holds that Hell’s function is to punish for eternity human souls who died in mortal sin without a sincere confession of their faults that expresses repentance for their misdeeds. These miscreants do not qualify for the purifying punishments of Purgatory, where souls who do not die in mortal sin escape eternal damnation and suffer temporary expiation before receiving their blissful reward in Paradise. When Dante began his poem, he was certainly aware of biblical and classical views of the afterlife. In the Sheol of the Hebrew Old Testament and the Hades of classical antiquity, souls after death did not really receive retribution for their earthly sins or particularly attractive rewards for their earthly merits. But the Christian church, affirmed by the theology of such major writers as Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, conceived of Hell as a place where the good were separated from the evil, and deeds on earth were weighted and judged. Dante’s famous notice over the gate of Hell underlines the eternity of Hell’s punishment (“All hope abandon, ye who enter in!”), but it is also clear from a reading of the entire poem that Dante considers the greatest punishment possible to be not the incredibly original and grotesque physical punishments he invents for his work but, instead, the eternal loss of communion with God that is enjoyed by the blessed.

Dante’s poetic genius partly resides in his many ingenious inventions for the shape and character of Hell. Dante’s Inferno is a hollow cone shaped by the displaced territory after Lucifer’s expulsion from Heaven and fall to Earth. It is situated under Jerusalem and consists of nine concentric circles that grow ever smaller and house more and more evil sinners. Ultimately, Hell ends at Earth’s core, where Lucifer is imprisoned in ice. Contrary to popular opinion, fire and brimstone are not the typical infernal punishments, although they are present. The place is filled with a number of rivers, swamps, deserts, a burning plain, a huge waterfall, a frozen lake, the towers of the City of Dis, and the ditches and bridges of Malebolge (ten sections of a circle shaped like ditches, pouches, or purses). Because the science of Dante’s day followed the Ptolemaic system of the universe in astronomy and Aristotle’s teachings on physics and biology, Dante considered Hell to be in the center of Earth, which in turn was in the center of the universe, with the sun revolving around it. A great chain of being extended from gross matter, animals, and humanity to the nine orders of the angels, and then to God in the Empyrean Heaven. Dante’s Inferno generally reflects traditional medieval thinking on astronomy and science, but the poet is also capable of enriching this tradition with his own ideas to enliven his picture of the Other World.

The most important rule in the Inferno, as well as in Purgatory and Paradise, is that Dante makes the rules. Laws can be broken or twisted to suit his poetic purposes, but they are always his alone. Such inventive details, often created by the author out of whole cloth, provide the reader with a rich, textured world of real individuals and a universe with its own specifically Dantesque regulations and customs. In many respects, Dante’s Inferno is not an unfamiliar place. Its most interesting inhabitants are not classical monsters, mythological figures, or heroes but instead are contemporary Italians, figures from all over the peninsula. It is an all too human world that we all immediately recognize as the one in which we live. Jean-Paul Sartre once wrote that Hell is other people. Dante would have said: “We have met the damned, and they are we.”

Apart from all of the entertaining and ingenious “house rules” in Hell that Dante invented, one of the great intellectual achievements of Dante’s Inferno as a work of art is its original synthesis of the Christian and the classical worlds in Hell’s organization. For example, the idea of a visit to the Underworld was suggested to Dante by the obvious example of Virgil’s Aeneid. Since Virgil had been to Hell before, who else would be more qualified to guide an Italian poet who loved Virgil’s epic work on another journey through the same territory? Numerous specific physical punishments in Hell require guardians or bureaucrats (not to mention torturers enjoying their work), just as a prison requires jailors and executioners. Thus Dante employs a wide variety of classical figures to serve in this capacity, including Charon, Minos, and the centaurs. The rivers of Hell are those of classical antiquity (such as Acheron, Styx, Phlegethon, and Lethe). Numerous classical figures, such as Alexander the Great, Brutus, Cassius, and Ulysses, appear in the various circles in which they suffer eternal damnation along with Dante’s contemporaries. No more heuristic juxtaposition of ancient and modern, classical and contemporary, will occur in Western literature until the sixteenth-century appearance of The Prince and the Discourses on Livy, two books by Niccolò Machiavelli that effect a similar synthesis by founding a new realistic view of politics upon comparative analyses of ancient Romans and contemporary Italy or Europe.

    Great book......

    I really enjoyed this book. It was great I L.O.V.E a book with symbolizism in it. This book is always misrepresented as one thing when its talking about something else. Dante biography is amazing. N his L.O.V.E for Beatrice was incredible. I had decided to do farther research on his life. From start to finish the book his life....both very wonderful. I enjoyed it...it is a MUST READ!!!

    Very intellectual

    Dante takes a journey through the 9 levels of hell with incredible dipictions of the tortures of each level... yeah if you can understand it. This was written in 1300 so obviously the writting is much different. I found it incredibly hard to read and if it hadnt been for the endnotes i would have finished and had no idea what i just read. The idea behind the book is briliant, i loved it, i just couldnt follow along very well. I learned a lot and it was interesting enough, but it is just a tough book to follow along with. If you have lots of time, READ IT, and good luck.

    review

    An excelent first part in this trilogy. Dante is a genious. This epic is fascinationg and also scary in its depiction of Hell. I was, at first, reluctant to read it because of how graphic it sounded, but I did and it was worth it. The only bad thing is the use of archaic words and the fact that, I know its poetry, but the way things are worded sometimes gets confusing. Other than that, well done.

    an excellent book

    i don't particularly like poetry, but this book is incredible. though the first canto is a little boring, it grabs you from the second canto all the way through to the 34th. the book can be a little hard to understand due to the translation by Longfellow into the older English of the time, but if you switch the words around a little bit, it tends to make better sense. this is a very gruesome, gorey, and depictive book of how Hell is. i recommend this for everyone who would like to see into the "9 levels" of Hell as portrayed by Dante.

    interesting and hilarious

    Whenever looking at the cover, you think it'll be all about punishment. But that's not all. That Dante either had a vivid imagination or was told by God Himself. I disagree with something somebody said earlier. Hell isn't a common grave for mankind. That defies the whole Bible. The spirit doesn't remain in the body it escapes the body and goes to its destination according to God's will. And this so-called Bible educator apparently doesn't understand that Jesus and God spoke of fire and brimstone, not dirt and rocks. Anyway, read the book.

    An amazing tale of poetic genious!

    Dante's Inferno is destined to become immortal and it's only the beginning! All three books of the Divine Comedy combine to form the perfect story of sin, redemption, and the rise into transcendant bliss.Difficult, but fully rewarding, this is epic poetry at its best. Not to mention the appearance of the one and only Virgil himself!

    Excellent! Very educational, tough read for some.

    This book is filled with historical references to mythology, christiantiy, and Florantine history. And very funny. The Introduction and Endnotes are very good, and essential to understanding the poem itself. I can usually get through a classic novel in a week, but it took me 6 weeks to get through this, but very well worth it. I'm moving on to Purgatorio next.

    hilarious

    it really is a comedy and i think readers forget that. if you want a great laugh, read dante's inferno. he wrote it because he was mad anyway, and as they say you should never write when you are mad! but if you substitute the italian politicians names for modern politicians you get a hilarious account of a man's journey through hell lead by Virgil! hilarious

    Mythical Lie vs. Divine Truth

    The concept of 'Hell', is exactly as portrayed, a myth. The truth about the 'Bible Hell', is that it is a Greek word, i.e. Hades, which means the commom grave of mankind. King James Bible, Acts 2:30-31. Jesus would not have been in a fiery place of torment, but rather a grave, awaiting his resurrection. A Witness of The Most High God Psalms 83:18

    A very good read. I was assigned this book to read for senior english class. At first I had trouble getting into the story, but after the third canto I was hooked. This book was unlike anything else I had read and I am excited to read the Purgatorio.

    best book ever written

    i have read this book and i am currently reading the purgatorio. it is my opinion that this is the best book ever written. the language in this book is almost non-existent among writers these days and the references to his own birthplace gives the book a very nostalgic feel

    Not Bad

    I started reading this book again after reading Paradise Lost last semester in College. I will say I get it better now then I did when I first picked it up about 6 months before I read PL. Overall a good book but it can be a bit weird at times. I would recomend it.

    Great read

    This was the first reading anything like this for me. It was a very hard read but turned out being the best book I've ever read. I would recommend this to anyone. The end notes made reading it much easier and the summaries at the beginning made sure that I understood what had happened in each canto.

    Classic literature at its best

    Albeit ladden with many (and, at times, puzzling) allusions to other aspects of literature and culture, Dante Alighieri's 'Inferno' is a most excellent read. As the first part of the longer 'Divine Comedy,' it is a perfect beginning for Dante the Pilgrim's journey to Paradise.

    A hard read made easy

    This was a very hard read. The endnotes made it much easier, pleasurable, and worth the effort. It must have been great for Dante to place people he disliked in Hell for all to read about for almost 7 hundred years.

    Good but hard

    This version of the Inferno is by far the hardest to read. It is a very good book don't get me wrong, but the reading is strenous. I would suggest reading some excerpts from the other versions of the Inferno before purchasing this book.
