Paradiso

Praise

“A beautiful translation of the astonishing fourteenth-century poem. . . . The best on the market. . . . If you haven’t read the Divine Comedy now is the time.”
—The New Yorker

“Paradiso . . . contains some of the most exhilarating poetry ever written. . . . Robert Hollander is one of the pre-eminent Dante scholars of our time.”
—The New York Times

“For our time and for an incalculable future the Hollander translation of The Divine Comedy will be the one used by serious readers. . . . Splendid as this new translation is, the endlessly valuable notes are what make this edition supplant all others.”
—National Review

“The Hollanders’ version is supple and clear, a triumph.”
—The Los Angeles Times

“Very likely the most enduring, both as a literary achievement and for its commentaries.”
