"Dante was the first to sing of heaven and hell, not as the dreams of mythological fiction, but as the objects of a real faith." -Edmund Dorr Griffin

Dante has gone through both hell and purgatory. Now, he is led by his beloved muse, the lady Beatrice, through the nine spheres of heaven to reach the beatific vision of God. Both deeply political and deeply mystical, an inspiration for poets and individual readers alike, Dante’s final installment in this great poem is full of dazzling images, spectacular poetic triumphs, and a surprisingly heartfelt and quaint as Dante finds the love of God reflected in both the cosmos and in the eyes of a lady.
