Dante's Inferno

[divegirl]

Hi, I wish to read this....and am a little confused [doesn't take much....lol]. As a trilogy; Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso...... Is it one book or three? Or are they all in the same book? Sorry to sound dumb, but I can only find it as three books, surely you can buy it as one book? Any links?

My son says:

Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso are three parts of the 'Divine Comedy' which is really only one book but is often sold as separate volumes. They chart the writer's journey through the afterlife starting in hell and moving through purgatory and then heaven.

They're well worth a read.

There are several editions of the complete 'Divine Comedy' available here:

'Dante's 'Divine Comedy' on Amazon.co.uk.

Unless you speak fluent (medieval) Italian, make sure you're getting a translated version. Mark Musa's translation is my son's favourite but It only seems to be available as three separate books.

Thank you!
