Dante's Paradiso (The Divine Comedy, Volume III, Paradise) [Translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow with an Introduction by Ellen M. Mitchell]

At its core, this work is an allegorical journey exploring humanity's quest for divinity through the realms of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Divided into three parts, each containing thirty-three cantos, it layers rich historical and moral insights beneath its narrative. Written in Italian to reach a broader audience, this masterpiece transcends simple allegory, reflecting the medieval themes of Journey and Vision. This edition features a translation into English verse by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, along with an introduction by Ellen M. Mitchell.
