Synopsis
"The Divine Comedy" is the story of a pilgrim's journey to God. A man named Dante is lost in dark wood; through the intervention of his beloved Beatrice in Heaven, the Roman poet Virgil appears in the forest to lead Dante to her. In order to reach heaven, however, they must first pass through Hell and Purgatory. After journeying through Hell (Inferno), they climb the mountain of Purgatory (Purgatorio); at the peak, Dante is reunited with Beatrice, who serves as his guide through Paradise (Paradisio).

Industry Reviews
"For all these reasons, the poem, for certain brave linguistic souls, provides an irresistible challenge. And among the new versions of "Inferno," that of the Hollanders is probably the most finely accomplished and may well prove the most enduring."
