Reviews

[Gabriel Rondelli]

I had the bilingual version with italian translation on one side. The only poem I fully immersed myself and enjoyed it. In the Inferno you can find various political and social struggles of the author portrayed by various figure of speeches and a love story.

[Marbeth Skwarczynski]

So thankful for such a clear and accessible guide through The Inferno. I read each summary and analysis before reading the cantos and it really helped me understand Dante's work.

[Patricia Miller]

if it weren't for this I would not have understood almost anything in Inferno so thanks spark notes bestie but shame on you for not having purgatory or paradise

[Adesa Kupa]

Loved it

[Jaynie]

Ah, you have to love "Sparknotes". Like "Cliffnotes", it saves you from some ponderous reading. I have a feeling that this book really needs to be read in Italian; and I just don't have that skill. But this precis of the work and explanation of it were exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
