The Divine Comedy, Vol. II: Purgatory
"A highly readable edition that adds a variety of new material, supplemented by references to Dorothy Sayers, C. S. Lewis, and many other Dante commentators."  --The New York Review"Kathryn Lindskoog's retelling of the _Comedy_ superbly achieves for our age the aims which Dante had for this masterpiece in his own age."  --Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society"_Dante's Divine Comedy_ by Kathryn Lindskoog is a delight to read.  This is definitely a reader-friendly retelling of Dante's Christian classic.  The original Divine Comedy was written in terza rima, a closely rhymed form of Italian poetry.  This version is written in clear and flowing modern English prose, which at times is suggestive of poetry.  The reader is given easy-to-follow footnotes, providing historical background and interpretation that make the book readily understandable and enjoyable."  --Marjorie W. Avery, The C.S. Lewis Centenary Group--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
