There are books in world literature that were destined for a happy, truly divine fate. They become monuments during their lifetime, classics already in the process of being written. Dante's great work, of course, occupies a place of honor on this Olympus. Created at the beginning of the 14th century, The Divine Comedy is not only a unique literary work of its time - it is a political, moral and philosophical encyclopedia. A huge contribution to the incredibly happy fate of the book was made by the works of the greatest artists, who considered it an honor to illustrate it, and unique translators who helped make it the property of mankind. You are holding in your hands not just a flawlessly published book. The Italian poetic masterpiece in the canonical elegant and easy translation of the brilliant Mikhail Lozinsky has long been taken apart in Russia for quotations. And the illustrations to it by William Blake, a brilliant and controversial English master of the early 19th century, published for the first time in our country, give a new vision of the spiritual and moral aspects of the work. Comments from leading Russian art historians give the book additional scientific and cultural value.
