Can you imagine? I have never read Dante's Divine Comedy!
But - better late than never. I'm reading John Ciardi's translation, which I find pleasing. He was a poet himself and, so far, the verse flows in rhythm but is also clear and understandable. The Inferno is quite depressing - but - it is Hell after all. Thank goodness for Virgil, Dante's unflappable guide. We'll see if I make it through Purgatory to Paradise.
