Dante's Inferno (Annotated Edition)
AnnotatedMidway through life, lost in a dark wood, a man is led down through the nine circles of Hell by the ghost of a poet dead a thousand years. Dante's Inferno is the most vivid account of damnation ever written — a descent past the lustful and the gluttonous, the heretics and the violent, the flatterers and the traitors, each punished by a logic that fits the sin exactly. It is also, unexpectedly, a very human poem: full of gossip, old grudges, political scores, and pity. This Sequoia annotated edition presents the complete text with notes identifying the historical figures Dante meets, explaining the structure of his Hell, and unpacking the Florentine politics that put so many of his enemies in it.
