I bought these 3 volumes for a course, which was then postponed indefinitely. But since I'd already started reading, I kept at it. I'd tried reading/studying the Divine Comedy before, without success - too dry. The translator of this version is just excellent, presenting the text in a beautiful flowing, readable English.Product details

The Divine Comedy Volume 3 Dante Alighieri 9781276998185 Books Reviews
Mark Musa does a good translation. It does take some study, and the notes he give at the end of each chapter really help in understanding what is going on.
This volume (Volume III The Paradiso) is one of three volumes that offer the Divine Comedy in Italian with Sinclair's English translation. Volumes I and II are the Inferno and the Paradiso. All three volumes are reprints of the 1936 text. It would have been more convenient if the English and Italian texts had been arranged in parallel columns, instead of having the English translation appear at the end of each canto. Contemporary readers might also have prefered John Ciardi's translation to Sinclair's. Overall, however, this version does quite nicely. The type is clear and easy to read.
Very happy that I read it.
This was a gift for my son but he says he loves it.
My uncle bought this version of The Divine Comedy for me for Christmas. I finally had some time to read it, and couldn't get past the first page! The translation (the original text is Italian) is so screwed up that I couldn't understand what I was reading. I gave this book away to Good Will and bought John Ciardi's translation, which is much easier to read!
Excellent translation for Dante's trilogy. Super clear to understand what the lines mean and who the different characters are. Highly recommend this version.
After giving up on this volume of The Divine Comeday several times in my younger years, I decided to give the work another try. I thought maybe maturity would make it manageable this time. That did help, but the real key to my finishing and benefiting from my experience with Paradise this timewas the inspired translation by Mark Musa. Mr. Musa obviously thought it more important for readers to understand what Dante meant, rather than just providing a word-for-word rendition of the original text, which was after all written in medieval Italian. He also provides plentiful notes and longer explanatory passages. I would recommend this edition to all who are interested in unpacking this monument of medieval literature to stimulate their own thinking about human destiny even in this modern age.
