Publisher's Summary

"Abandon all hope you who enter here." 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 lead down into the depths by Virgil and shown those doomed to suffer eternal torment for vices exhibited and sins committed on earth. The 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 audio, his images are as vivid as when the poem was first written in the early years of the 14th century.

WOW

I've read the book multiple times, but honestly, this was like listening to a movie. It's off-balanced audio (sometimes peaks or goes lower), but for the age when this was created, it can be looked over. The rest is pretty narrator does a great job of differentiating the voices from one character to the next. The production is just next level (minus the peaking) on this. VERY well done recommend this version for anyone wanting to start reading the divine comedy series.
