Publisher's Summary
Blake Ritson, David Warner, Hattie Morahan and John Hurt star in this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of Dante's epic poem.
Inferno: Thirty-five year old Dante finds himself in the middle of a dark wood, in extreme personal and spiritual crisis. Hope of rescue appears in the form of the venerable poet Virgil, now a shade himself, who offers to lead Dante on an odyssey through the afterlife, beginning in the terrifying depths of Hell.
Purgatorio: Dante is led up Mount Purgatory by his guide. They encounter numerous souls who have embarked on the same difficult journey - one that will eventually lead to their spiritual salvation.
Paradiso: Dante's journey comes to a glorious conclusion as he is led by Beatrice, through the spheres of Paradise and into the presence of God himself. As they ascend, they encounter a number of souls who have also achieved blessedness. Many years later, the older Dante reflects on the episodes from his life that have inspired his great poem.

Just amazing like wow
This is simply the most astounding insightful and eye opening books and dramatised audio. I tried reading the actual book but it was too hard for me. Thanks to this, at least I go to experience the gist of this great book.

Superb production of an epic
At a loss for how good this is. I have not read Dante's The Divine comedy so this seemed a good place to start. And what a stunning performance from the cast and superb sound design by BBC team. I don't think this can be surpassed. Thank you BBC
