About this listen
"Abandon all hope you who enter here." ("Lasciate ogne speranza voi ch’intrate.") Dante’s Hell is one of the most remarkable visions in Western literature. An allegory for his and future ages, it is, at the same time, an account of terrifying realism. Passing under a lintel emblazoned with these frightening words, the poet is led down into the depths by Virgil and shown those doomed to suffer eternal torment for vices exhibited and sins committed on earth.
Inferno is the first part of the long journey which continues through redemption to revelation - through Purgatory and Paradise - and, in this translation, prepared especially for the audiobook, his images are as vivid as when the poem was first written in the early years of the 14th century.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Wonderful adaptation and narration
There is little that one can say about this Classic that has not already been said. In this particular version, the narrator is the star in mho. Terrific adaptation overall.

It is a gift.
Dante is a genius and Heathcote is brilliant! The challenge of reading this Old Testament is removed by the performance.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here
Can be hard to follow, recomennd following a website that describes each Canto in a more easy to understand fashion. Alot of this texts values are not acceptable in todays world to say the least but this text still has value as history and with its understandings of life and death. Too better insure I followed I bookmarked anytime I was done and wrote my understandings. That really helped. Also this is hands down the darkest form of media I have ever consumed.

Great narrator; However
The voice of the narrator fits perfectly, but the audio quality is terrible. A few dozen times there are these weird gross stomach groaning sounds. It got really annoying throughout the audiobook
