Wrong and Misleading Reviews It seems to me that almost all of these reviews are NOT for this specific book. They must be for a different one. Many of these reviews refer to a translation of "The Divine Comedy" by John Ciardi and also refer to the book having many wonderful helpful notes. That certainly is NOT true of the book listed here. This book is translated by Longfellow and has absolutely NO notes (no preface, no introduction, no summary, no footnotes, and not even any information on the back cover). I find this translation very hard to understand and the lack of any explanatory notes makes the story line very hard to follow. Most of these reviews must refer to. Not a good download The links all go to the first book. If you click on Cantos 1 in Inferno it will go to Cantos 1 in paradise. In addition to that the INferno book is missing a ton of sections. It says it has them until you get to them and realize the pages are missing. Inferno is very chopped up. This kindle version is not readable.Also, when flipping through the book it is very slow and often acts like it is frozen.. Easy read; genius masterpiece Absolute classic, genius, masterful masterpiece. Easy reading, amazing flow, rhythm and rhyme. I don't think anything as brilliant as this is will ever be written again. There is an introduction before each of the 3 books that gives historical background and an explanation of the characters and the depth of meaning. There are notes throughout as well. There is also a brief set up at the beginning of each Canto, similar to the set up of a Shakespeare play. This is easier to read then Shakespeare. You don't even have to like poetry or literature. All 3 books are in this: Inferno, hell; Purgatorio, path out of hell; Paradiso, into paradise. H
While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work
