Galt Wrote:I've heard about Paradise Lost and Inferno a lot. But I had stupid english professors that never had us read any good books. It was always some nigger loving hippy bullshit.DANTE wrote the books, however, since he couldn't even be considered a "new" american, it was necessary to translate his gibberish into american.
I searched on Amazon and there were like 15 different Inferno books. All with different titles, different amounts of pages, different authors. Some about comedy, etc etc etc. Which one should I be buying?
Can I just get a quick synopsis of the books and what they each about?
The different names are probably translators, editors or other similarly situated blowhards that feel they have a new insight into Dante.

Dante wrote The Divine Comedy in what amounts to three parts, Purgatory, Inferno and Paradise.
