Divine Comedy = La Divina Commedia

"Divine Comedy" is the greatest monument of world literature, representing 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,... through the sadness and hopes of Purgatory to the dazzling Paradise. Studying 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. In this edition, the original text of the entire "Divine Comedy" is presented with a parallel translation by D. E. Mina, awarded the Pushkin Prize, and is accompanied by expressive illustrations by the outstanding graphic artist Gustave Doré. The cover features a fragment of the painting "Mystical Nativity" by the Renaissance Italian painter Sandro Botticelli. For ease of reading, each line in Russian stands opposite the corresponding line in Italian. The parallel text will allow for easy comparison of the original with the translation, drawing attention to the difficulties faced by the translator and noting the most accurately translated fragments. The hardcover binding with gold embossing, richly decorated text with a slight stylization under a medieval book, illustrations, and a golden ribbon place marker add sophistication to the book. It can be purchased not only for one's collection but also as a gift for dear and close ones.
