An extraordinary commentary on an immortal work
ISI Books is proud to present this exceptional new commentary on Dante�� Inferno. Little known in the United States, author Nicola Fosca nonetheless stands ��n the top ten of Dante
commentators in the last seven centuries,��according to no less an authority than world-renowned Dante scholar Robert Hollander. Fosca�� commentary, published for the first time in English,
will arrive as an unexpected gift��nd an indispensable guide��o scholars, students, and readers alike.
�
Fosca examines the first part of Dante�� immortal poem The Divine Comedy line by line,providing an analysis of surpassing depth and richness. He sheds light on the meaning of Dante��
journey, the crucial distinctions between Dante the poet and Dante the character, the Inferno�� literary precedents, and much more. Perhaps the greatest contribution of
Dante�� Inferno: A New Commentary is its unified vision: whereas so many contemporary commentators focus on the ��esthetic��elements of the work, Fosca shows how these
cannot be separated from the epic�� philosophical and theological components.
