Description : This is the best translation of the Inferno I have come across. Though the beautiful poetic structure of the writing is lost in the translation to English, Ciardi does not shame one word of it. Incase you have lived in a box, the Inferno is the first book of "The Divine Comedy". Little Goth boy, Dante, goes to Hell with his favorite poet of the antiquity, Virgil. The whole book is vividly entertaining, going from the sad and the pathetic, to the horrible yet hilarious. Another book everyone must read by default of existing.
