Led by his beloved Beatrice, he enters Paradise, to profess his faith, hope, and love before the Heavenly court. Completed shortly before his death, Paradise is the volume that perhaps best expresses Dante's spiritual philosophy about resurrection, redemption, and the nature of divinity. It also affords modern-day readers a clear window into late medieval perceptions about faith. A brillitan verse translation, a bilingual text, classic illustrations by Gustave Doré, a critical introduction, and an appendix that reproduces Dante's key sources make this Esolen's the definitive edition of Dante's ultimate masterwork. Review: An excellent translation of Dante's Divine Comedy - This translation by Anthony Esolen reads smoothly and has very helpful footnotes. I switched to this translation after trying to read through Wordsworth's for the 100 Days of Dante reading challenge. With an extensive appendix to give context and quotes from Dante's sources, this translation helped me understand what I was reading without a background in Italian history and medieval politics. Review: Translations in both English and Italian. - Great side-by-side comparisons of the Italian and English translations. The footnotes help clear up any confusion and the illustrations are very good. Probably for the more advanced reader. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #49,110 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #13 in Italian Poetry (Books) #30 in Medieval Poetry #103 in Love Poems | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 221 Reviews | ## Images ![Paradise (The Divine Comedy) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LCRjPUjAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent translation of Dante's Divine Comedy *by E***. on June 21, 2023* This translation by Anthony Esolen reads smoothly and has very helpful footnotes.

I HIGHLY recommend the project to anyone, particularly Catholics, because while the footnotes and endnotes are outstanding, the lecture series really brings it home to our lives and spirituality. We did this exercise because Bishop Barron had commented how fruitful the Divine Comedy was for his spiritual life and ministry. Having a lecture series and set of matching translations by a consummate scholar and faithful Catholic, who translated Dante's great Catholic opus into a work that can be appreciated by today's students, is a precious pearl beyond price, and I am so grateful I was able to have and use it. (The OCD in me wishes that the books had coordinated covers, but I don't judge a book by its cover!) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/4535080-paradise-the-divine-comedy](https://www.desertcart.at/products/4535080-paradise-the-divine-comedy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
