Dante Alighieri's Paradiso

"The glory of the one who moves all penetrates the universe and gives back splendor, here in one part more and elsewhere less. I was in the heaven that takes up more of his light, and I saw things that he who descends from there can neither know nor tell again since pressing near to its desire, our intellect so fully founders that memory cannot come after." And so begins our spiritual journey through the Paradiso, written over seven hundred years ago by Dante Alighieri. In this new translation, beautifully illustrated with the sculptures of Timothy Schmalz, Daniel Fitzpatrick makes the poem accessible in plain English to the 21st century reader. The goal of this book is simple in this era of coronavirus that has ravaged Dante's homeland - to help Dante help Italy.
