NEW! Dante’s Inferno in COMIC BOOK Format! Never before has Dante's classic masterpiece been presented in this way. Now you can experience this major work of world literature in a simplified adaptation. The storyboard is made up of the powerful illustrations by Gustave Doré. The easy to understand narrative is by Joseph Lanzara, author of the popular “Plain English” versions of Paradise Lost and Romeo and Juliet. This graphic novel pulls no punches. Dante’s harrowing journey through Hell is not for the squeamish. It is a powerful, but ultimately inspiring story of sin, punishment, self-sacrifice and redemption.

It is not often I give a book a 1 star review. In this case, the poor review is warranted. I had hoped for so much more from the adaptation of _The Inferno_ than is provided in the 30 pages of this book. Dante's masterpiece warrants more than the brief and broad summary Lanzara gives it, which is truncated further by including _Paradiso_ as well. For example, the circles of hell that describes violence and fraud is wholly absent (let alone the variations of these transgressions: those who commit violence against neighbors, themselves, God, art, nature or those who commit fraud by simony or corrupt politicians). It is this level of detail and the specificity of the horrors of hell that make the _Inferno_ such a classic. How these things can be left out and still claim to be the same book is a mystery to me.The artwork (copies of Dore's masterfully gothic etchings) is fantastic, but sadly only a handful are shown here - in other words, not all of Dore's etchings are included here. I just don't understand this - if the art has already been created (and enough time has passed that there are no copyrights to the images), why would you not include them and tell a better, more detailed and full story?
Classic stories have been faithfully adapted to graphic novel form (I am a big fan of Gareth Hind's The Odyssey and Beowulf. That such a poor, shoddy and lazy job has been done with Dante's work is inexcusable. The your money elsewhere and avoid this pitiful excuse for a graphic novel.

Dante Inferno The Graphic Novel Joseph Lanzara Gustave Doré Dante Alighieri 9780963962119 Books Reviews
Great translation.
not what I, expected fair
When you're printing Dores images don't print them so poorly that the images all smudge! There was nothing inviting about this comic book.
If you're looking for a basic introduction to Dante, this is your graphic novel. My big complaint is that the circles of Hell were cramped together so much you don't get a full description of the sins, sinners, and punishments.
Although it wasn't all of the story as I hoped, it's still a great short book to read
I love this. I've loved Gustave Dore since I learned about him in my Art History class, and I've loved Dante's Divine Comedy since I bought a copy at Costco years ago. When I found out Dore did art for it, I had to buy it. I love it, I think it's awesome, it is a little smaller than I thought, and doesn't cover all of inferno, but it's really nice.
I'm not sure what audience this author was shooting for. I ordered this to preview it, hoping it would be a good way to introduce high school students to the shape of the overall poem. Not so -- this contains content that my students' parents would certainly not be comfortable with. And one might be willing to be a bit edgy IF the sketchy content was true to Dante. BUT IT'S NOT. For crying out loud. This is, frankly, not a suitable introduction to Dante for anyone.
