One of the greatest works in literature, Dante's story-poem is an allegory that represents mankind as it exposes itself, by its merits or demerits, to the rewards or the punishments of justice. A single listen will reveal Dante's visual imagination and uncanny power to make the spiritual visible.©1321 Public Domain (P)2007 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

This book really failed to keep my attention and I usually found myself day dreaming and asking myself wtf is he talking about? I could have used my monthly credit better

Very hard to follow

This exemplifies there the Narrator is all-important; Loved his reading style.

This is an excellent program, which comes mysteriously, with footnotes. The notes themselves are very useful as any reading of Dante is impossible without a third party to guide you along the first time. Many of the people he meets with along his journey are very, very obscure (not even a professor of Medieval Italian history would know them all from memory). However, the format is not always clear as to when the notes end and the text begins. I have read the Comedy more times than I can remember, but even I was momentarily confused at times as to who was speaking. I wish there was one reader for the text and another for the notes, or that the chapter breaks fell regularly between the notes and the poem itself, if nothing else, for clarity.

Excellent Reading, Odd Notes

Good reading. Love having an accompanying book that helps explain Dante’s work. Worth the effort and time.

Very good
