Review
"Tom Simones translation is simply superb. Of all the translations with which I am familiar, this is the one that is the most faithful to whats there in the Italian: no frills, no poetic sallies, no choosing a word because it brings the line closer to iambic pentameter -- just unadulterated Dante with good old Anglo-Saxon words and in highly readable prose."
~ Peter Kalkavage, St. John's College
