Publisher's Synopsis
To mark the 700th anniversary of the death of Dante Alighieri, Italian artist Mimmo Paladino has illustrated the complete text of Dante's epic masterpiece, the Divine Comedy, with 50 original lithographs. In this beautifully printed book, edited by noted art historian Sergio Risaliti, Paladino has captured the unrestrained imagination and expressive force of Dante's classical narrative poem. This exceptional publication includes essays by Risaliti, literature professor Riccardo Bruscagli, author and curator Cristina Acidini, and Giorgio Bacci, a professor of cultural studies at the University of Florence.
