Project Gutenberg has opened a bunch of books up for me that I wouldn’t necessarily think to pick up at the library to read.
Gutenberg has Cary’s translation with the G. DorĂ© illustrations, the Longfellow translation, and Norton’s translation, and that’s just the English versions!

And I read certain cantos in high school, but I would like to read the whole thing… Right now I don’t really have the time for it, but perhaps this summer?

Dante has such a powerful writing! His characters remain in memory for long time and he is no moralist in the end.
I so much like the fact that he was able to put in hell people that were living when he was writing.
He had great courage, and paid for it. He’s a great example to me.

Finally ,i have read Inferno by Dante.It is well written and gives us a great sweep of ethics , mythology , history and art .It is truly a classic , though at times i felt i was proving unequal to understand it .
I request all the 7 team members to read it .

For when the faculty of intellect
is joined with brute force and with evil will,
no man can win against such an alliance.
