Divine Comedy = La Divina Commedia

"Divine Comedy" — is the greatest monument of world literature, presenting a synthesis of all European medieval culture and bold innovative ideas. In search of the true path, Dante embarks on a grand journey through the darkness and sorrow of... Hell, full of the sadness and hopes of Purgatory to the dazzling Paradise. By exploring in the afterlife the fate of sinful, fallen, and righteous souls, Dante gradually gains the strength for spiritual rebirth and finds answers to the eternal questions of existence. This edition presents the original text of the entire "Divine Comedy" with a parallel translation by D. E. Mina, honored with the Pushkin Prize, accompanied by expressive illustrations by the outstanding graphic artist Gustave Doré. The cover features an excerpt from the painting "Mystical Nativity" by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli. For reading convenience, each line in Russian is placed opposite the corresponding line in Italian. The parallel text will allow easy comparison of the original with the translation, paying attention to the difficulties faced by the translator, and noting the most accurately translated fragments. The hardcover with gold embossing, richly decorated text with a light stylization of a medieval book, illustrations, and a golden ribbon bookmark add elegance to the book.
