The famed Italian poet Dante Alighieri's two masterworks--The Divine Comedy and La Vita Nuova--in one volume A Penguin Classic As a philosopher, he wedded classical methods of inquiry to a Christian faith. As an autobiographer, he looked unsparingly at his own failures to depict universal struggles. As a visionary, he dared draw maps of Hell, with Purgatory and Paradise, and populate all three realms with recognizable human beings. As a passionate lover, he became a poet of bereavement and renunication. As all of these, Dante Alighieri paved the way for modern literature, while creating verse and prose that remain unparalleled for formal elegance, intellectual depth, and emotional grandeur. The Portable Dante captures the scope and fire of Dante's genius as thoroughly as any single volume can. It contains complete verse translations of The Divine Comedy and La Vita Nuova, as well as a bibliography, notes, and an introduction by the eminent scholar and translator Mark Musa. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Great sensory resource
Format: Board book
I am a teacher and a developmental therapist. This book is great for sensory exposure. The kids really respond to the colors. I find that they gravitate to this book and are able to sit for longer and longer periods of time with books like these.

My grandsons favorite book.
Format: Board book
The pictures are large and easy to understand. I like all the different colors and that each number is a different color so we can review that as well as count. The flap at the end could stand to be of sturdier material since it’s lifted several times daily by a toddler. Otherwise great book.

Sweet little book
Format: Board book
Our toddler grandchildren (ages 2 and 5) continually pick this and other books in the series out for us to read aloud. Besides whimsical illustrations, the book is informative with simple facts about hedgehogs hoglets.
