In The Canterbury Tales Chaucer created one of the great touchstones of English literature, a masterly collection of chivalric romances, moral allegories and low farce. A story-telling competition between a group of pilgrims from all walks of life is the occasion for a series of tales that range from the Knight's account of courtly love and the ebullient Wife of Bath's Arthurian legend, to the ribald anecdotes of the Miller and the Cook.

Inferno: Thirty-five year old Dante finds himself in the middle of a dark wood, in extreme personal and spiritual crisis.

Led by his guide, Beatrice, Dante leaves the Earth behind and soars through the heavenly spheres of Paradise. In this third and final part of The Divine Comedy, he encounters the just rulers and holy saints of the Church. The horrors of Inferno and the trials of Purgatory are left far behind. Ultimately, in Paradise, Dante is granted a vision of God’s Heavenly court: the angels, the Blessed Virgin, and God Himself.

Now of that second kingdom I shall sing where human souls are purified of sin and made worthy to ascend to Heaven’ Purgatory is the second part of Dante’s The Divine Comedy ascending the terraces of the Mount of Purgatory inhabited by those doing penance to expiate their sins on earth. There are the proud – forced to circle their terrace for aeons bent double in humility; the slothful – running around crying out examples of zeal and sloth; while the lustful are purged by fire.

Description
"Abandon all hope you who enter here." ("Lasciate ogne speranza voi ch’intrate.") Dante’s Hell is one of the most remarkable visions in Western literature. An allegory for his and future ages, it is, at the same time, an account of terrifying realism. Passing under a lintel emblazoned with these frightening words, the poet is led down into the depths by Virgil and shown those doomed to suffer eternal torment for vices exhibited and sins committed on earth.
Inferno is the first part of the long journey which continues through redemption to revelation - through Purgatory and Paradise - and, in this translation, prepared especially for the audiobook, his images are as vivid as when the poem was first written in the early years of the 14th century.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Great narrator; However
The voice of the narrator fits perfectly, but the audio quality is terrible. A few dozen times there are these weird gross stomach groaning sounds. It got really annoying throughout the audiobook

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here
Can be hard to follow, recomennd following a website that describes each Canto in a more easy to understand fashion. Alot of this texts values are not acceptable in todays world to say the least but this text still has value as history and with its understandings of life and death. Too better insure I followed I bookmarked anytime I was done and wrote my understandings. That really helped. Also this is hands down the darkest form of media I have ever consumed.

The Best Inferno So Far
Any additional comments?
Benedict Flynn's translation is crisp and clear, and Heathcote Williams's narration is flawless. I have several other recordings of Dante's Inferno, but this is my favorite.

A classic rendered in an ominous, heavy tone
The author tours the underworld, witnessing all the suffering, in a first-person account. Sometimes the language is a little hard to track as this was written hundreds of years ago and translated, but that kind of adds to the overall effect. The actor does a good job with various character voices -- generally you can distinguish them readily and dialogue does not bog down. His voice is very expressive. Don't listen when you need to be perked up!

Great translation. Deserves whispersync!
It's hard to imagine how anyone can rightly understand the canon of Western Literature without reading Dante. Dante's first part of the Divine Comedy is compelling I itself, but it's also important because of its influence on the Western Canon. His imagery is creative and brilliant, even if his references to conte port personages can't be fully appreciated without a commentary. I listened to this translation and read along in another translation (Charles Eliot Norton) because I could not find acceptable matching versions. Excellent reader (Heathcote Williams), and a good translation (Benedict Flynn). I found the differences in translations did not prevent me from following along. While I recommend reading along while listening, I found that practice especially helpful with Dante. To keep perspective, I also found myself referring back to Dante's own analytical table of contents (wherein he summarizes each canto.
Overall, this was a good experience and I recommend it highly. I also look forward to exploring other translations: Dorothy Sayers and John Ciardi.

Irritating music and volume blast
It might have been okay without the HORRIBLE music playing between the cantos, not to mention the volume would be much louder for the music so would blast you with this jarring noise every 5-7 mins.

Great translation and beautiful performance
This is a great audio book. This is, in my opinion, a beautiful translation. The music between cantos really sets the mood for the story to follow. Well performed with great personality.
For some, thia story can seem overly complex at times due to the web of allusions and imagery but I feel that the reader's spot on personalities help aid in the feelings being conveyed. If you listen intently, it can be an absolutely lucid and strangely beautiful story. At the same time, if you know the general plot of the story and listen to this in the background while multitasking, while you may not be able to appreciate the intricacies, the feelings of the journey still show through.

I highly appreciate this reading; the small bits of music are fine and the light dramatization doesn’t take away from the literature. I found every consideration put into this truly set the appropriate mood and tone for this work, no injustices done here.
