Inferno is the first of three parts that make up one of the greatest works of universal literature, Dante's monumental Comedy. Written approximately between 1304 and 1321 and printed for the first time in 1472, the epic grandeur of this masterpiece has inspired writers for more than five hundred years and has become part of the collective imagination. Guided by the Latin poet Virgil, Dante travels in Inferno through the nine concentric circles in which the damned atone for their sins. As he descends, the poet describes the horrible tortures to which sin leads and presents a vast cast of tormented characters, until he finally reaches the depths of the abyss and meets Lucifer. First published by Seix Barral in 1973, Angel Crespo's translation was unanimously praised and received the Italian Readers' and Booksellers' Prize in 1979 and the Gold Medal of the Birth of Dante, awarded by the city of Florence in 1980. His metered and rhymed translation of Dante's Inferno offers the reader a true Castilian Dante, the difficult pinnacle of demand and the most subtle expressive mastery.
