"Midway upon the journey of our life / I found myself in a dark wilderness, / for I had wandered from the straight and true." High on any list of the most significant literary works of all time, Dante's epic Divine Comedy begins here, with his descent to the infernal regions. It is rendered into accessible blank verse by Anthony Esolen, and this edition includes 12 of Gustave Doré's classic engravings as well as supplemental texts that shed additional light upon Dante's masterpiece.
